Certificate Requirements
Two Required Courses (6 credits):
Certificate students start with Global Development for Engineers, which introduces the complexities of the international development industry, providing a survey approach to understanding major historical outcomes, theories, institutions, policies, alternatives and critiques.
CVEN 5919: Global Development for Engineers (Fall only - open to all engineering graduate students on a space available basis. 3 credits)
The Global Development Field Practicum provides students with a field-based opportunity to synthesize and integrate knowledge acquired in Mortenson Center courses and other learning experiences and to apply theory and principles in a situation that approximates professional practice in global engineering. Students typically fulfill the Field Practicum requirement the summer after the first academic year in the program.

Completion:
Upon completion of all twelve credits, students must request the certificate be added to their transcript by contacting Mortenson Center Program Coordinator Sarah Goodroad at sarah.goodroad@colorado.edu. Mortenson Center staff will check to ensure that the requirements have been met and will then notify the Registrar's office so that the designation is added to the student's transcript.
