MSDP specializes in educating students who are interested in working in developing countries. Based on our experience, we anticipate four main types of employment opportunities for students completing the program:
- Engineering aspects of development work, for example, working with the United Nations, a US AID contractor, or a non-governmental organization.
- Working for a private firm, such as Cargill or Bechtel, that completes engineering projects domestically and/or in developing countries.
- Launching your own for-profit or non-profit venture that uses engineering or technology to address a social or environmental problem internationally.
- Working for a local or national firm, such as at a local government or engineering company, yet remaining engaged in developing countries via professional volunteer work with organizations such as Engineers Without Borders.
