Global Engineering Residential Academic Program (RAP)
Engineering isn’t just about solving problems, it’s about making a difference. At the Mortenson Center in Global Engineering & Resilience, we explore how engineers can improve lives and protect our planet. We believe engineers can work hand-in-hand with communities, countries, and experts from around the world to create solutions that truly matter. That’s what being a Global Engineer is all about.

We are looking for students who:
- Want to join a vibrant community where peers support each other as curious, capable, and compassionate engineers.
- Are eager for more than technical skills — they want meaningful experiences that expand their worldview.
- Care about creating real global impact, not just checking boxes.
- Are excited for growth opportunities, international collaborations and networking with communities, professionals faculty and graduate students to tackle global challenges like poverty and environmental resilience.
- Value cultural exchange, language learning, and building global connections.
If you want your engineering to matter beyond the classroom, to be purposeful, and to be part of something bigger, this is your place.
