Global Practicum

The Global Practicum is an important component of our program and provides students with an opportunity to synthesize and integrate knowledge acquired in Mortenson Center��coursework and other learning experiences, and to apply theory and principles in a situation that approximates some aspect of professional practice in engineering and international development.�� The practicum is designed to help students:

• Understand the meaning and importance of global engineering practice
• Understand the purpose of field methods including community-based needs assessment, monitoring and evaluation, and household surveys
• Understand and observe common elements among planning models and be able to develop a plan for an engineering intervention addressing a global issue, e.g. water supply, housing, energy
• Understand major implementation issues, common barriers to implementation, and strategies for minimizing barriers to implementation
• Identify and observe strategies for scaling up and sustaining engineering solutions
• Apply planning, monitoring and evaluation skills to real-world problem solving; and
• Enhance practice skills of leadership, effective teamwork, and the mastery of competencies in global engineering

You will:

• Receive funding support to travel for your Practicum
• Be placed with an agency or organization, that is doing work you are interested in, utilizing our network of over 80+ partnerships
• Work within an agency or organization, typically for three months over the summer
