**NEW COURSE** GCH-205 Global Health Engineering:
If you are still looking for a global understanding option to satisfy Mason core in Spring 2019, Dr. Nathalia Peixoto, Dr. Shani Ross and three other professors in Global Health Engineering are developing an Engineering
Global Health course. It is actually the same GCH 205 Global Health course but incorporates engineering design approaches to develop solutions to global health problems. Engineering, global health and other students would work on multidisciplinary teams
to explore certain global health problems and develop solutions to them.
