Abstract: This paper presents a framework that operationalizes education in emergencies for multiple types of practitioners. We use loc·alized introductory university-level engineering courses implemented in two refugee camps - one in Jordan and one in Kenya - as case studies to outline our challenges and opportunities in teaching engineering in displacement. Our framework for engineering education for tertiary learners in emergencies builds on an extensive critical analysis of the Global Framework for Refugee Education, principles and actions put forth in the Global Compact on Refugees, and research conducted in on - site engineering education programs in two refugee camps using a localized approach. Also. this paper develops tailored recommendations for engineering education from across the broad, core definitions and calls for action made in numerous humanitarian reports and international policy documents. This framework is relevant at the global and local levels to plan and deliver engineering education programs for tertiary learners in displacement, humanitarian, and development settings. learners develop engineering competencies to support planning and emergency preparedness. Our framework is transfurable across formal and informal learning settings and can be a valuable tool for engineering educators to support the course development or assessment of existing engineering education programs.
