What
will I do as a Peace Corps Volunteer?
Engineering Master’s
International students work on a wide variety of projects while serving
as water/sanitation volunteers with the Peace Corps. These projects
are typically related to water supply, sanitation, watersheds, and
erosion control problems. Other assignments include assisting provincial/municipal
governments on issues related to water supply, wastewater treatment,
and solid waste. Students get involved in all engineering aspects
of a problem, including surveying, financing, design, scheduling,
construction, operation/maintenance, and legal issues. Other engineering
students have developed watershed management programs or designed
and constructed water supply and wastewater treatment systems.
You can learn more about specific assignments by
reviewing the “student profile” page.
The slide show on the opening web page, that provided
an overview of our Master’s
International program, provided many examples about what engineers
do while serving in the Peace Corps.
