Leaders in Global Development and Climate Resilience Education, Research & Practice
The Mortenson Center trains engineers to work in partnership with institutions and communities worldwide to develop improved tools, technologies and methods to address global challenges.听
Our program is based on the principle that students educated in Global听Engineering should be prepared to solve engineering and science problems within the socioeconomic, environmental and political constraints often encountered in low-resource settings.听
What our students are saying:
鈥淲hat I treasure most about the Mortenson Center is the community鈥攂oth faculty and students foster an environment ripe for meaningful discussions on pressing global issues. The conversational approach to learning in the program encourages us to apply our knowledge to real-world problems, especially the integrative approach to climate change across all courses.鈥 鈥擠.听Valdivieso
