Certificates

Engineering and Community Engagement – This certificate is administered through the Humanitarian Engineering and Social Entrepreneurship Program (HESE). HESE is an integrated learning, research, and entrepreneurship program that brings together students and faculty from across campus in the rigorous research, design, field-testing, and launch of technology-based enterprises in low- and middle-income countries. Through a series of five courses, HESE teams systematically advance ventures over multiple years with aspirations for large-scale commercialization and dissemination. Alongside the social enterprises, students work on original publishable research that strengthen ventures by ensuring they use an evidence-based and data-driven approach. The overarching goal is to deliver sustainable impact while preparing students for careers in social innovation and global sustainable development.

International Engineering Certificate – Students will enroll in the certificate via LionPath. At the time of graduation, Global Engineering Engagement will confirm the completion of the requirements and a certificate will be issued by the registrar.
