Abstract: Peace Engineering and Innovation is an emergent field with the potential to disrupt traditional engineering and management of technology research, education, and practice. Peace Engineering and Innovation is a potential disruption of, and radical innovation in, the meaning of engineering and innovation. Yet the concept, so enthralling, requires analysis of the literature base to facilitate its operationalization. We add to the literature by focusing on the field's works and bifurcating them into two divergent paths. We utilize meta-analysis methodologies and data surface mining to demonstrate the large-scale patterns in the Peace Engineering and Innovation literature. Our findings provide policy makers, educators, students, practitioners, and researchers a knowledge base that is parsed into actionable areas. These results provide innovation pathways for the 21st century engineer.
