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
• Build your skills with real-world experience
• Build your network and job opportunities

Who's it For?

• Students who want career-ready skills employers are looking for in: carbon markets, climate adaptation, WASH systems, GIS, data analytics, AI tools, project management
• Students who want access to our network of industry partners such as Tetra Tech, AECOM, Jacobs, Arcadis, WSP, Deloitte, government agencies and NGOs including. Open more doors with access to our alumni network.��

Entry Requirements

• Minimum 3.00 GPA average for all undergraduate coursework (CU Graduate School requirement for regular admission)
• Completion of a four-year bachelor’s degree
• Proof of English proficiency if native language is not English, as demonstrated by submission of a TOEFL score of 600 (paper-based) or 100 (internet-based) or an IELTA score of 7 or above
• Math (four semesters) including Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations; equivalents of APPM 1350, APPM 1360, APPM 2350, and APPM 2360
• Physics (two semesters); equivalents of PHYS 1110, PHYS 1120/1140 (laboratory)
• Analytical Mechanics or “Statics” (one semester); equivalent of CVEN 2121
• Fluid Mechanics (one semester); equivalent of CVEN 3313

These courses have been identified by the faculty of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering as vital to anyone who earns a graduate degree in Civil Engineering, irrelevant of specialization area. Students may be admitted with three or fewer deficiencies, but the missing undergraduate-level coursework must be completed as early as possible in the student's graduate career.
