What is PUC?
The Projects for Underserved Communities program combines the need to train future global engineering and social work leaders with the mission of the University of Texas at Austin of “What Starts Here Changes the World.” PUC is an innovative multidisciplinary curriculum, designed to teach project management skills and develop the cross-cultural communication competencies that are essential to working in a global environment. In consultation with faculty mentors and through formal instruction, students work on project development and design with partners in marginalized communities around the world. During the summer students will travel to the approved project sites to implement their projects and see the direct impact their project based academic work will have on the lives of others.
