Engineering
development for humanity
The Michigan Tech Master's International
Peace Corps Program
(MI) is the only such engineering program of its kind.
After two semesters of on-campus coursework, MI students serve for
27 months in the U.S. Peace Corps. In addition to typical Peace
Corps activities, MI students execute an engineering research project
during their service. Upon completion, students return to campus
to defend their research and share experiences. To date 58 students
(42% women) with 15 different undergraduate majors from 42 universities
have participated in this program. They have served in the following
countries: Belize,
Benin, Cameroon, Dominican Republic, East Timor, Fiji, Ghana, Honduras,
Jamaica, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Macedonia, Madagascar, Palau,
Panama, Philippines, Samoa, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vanuatu.
