During the experiential component, you implement a designed solution to an identified need.

This can be accomplished during a DukeEngage experience, or by participating with organizations such as Engineers Without Borders USA and Duke Engineers for International Development.

The component is typically a month-long experience in a setting, within the United States or internationally, where you team with a community partner to identify, design and implement your idea.

In advance of completing their experiential component, the student (or group of students) should email Certificate Director David Schaad a brief, one-page summary of the proposed experience that provides these five items:

1. Where the experience will take place?
2. Who is the community partner?
3. Who is the faculty mentor for the project?
4. When will the project take place?
5. A brief synopsis of the designed intervention

FOR SUMMER EXPERIENCES

If this is a summer experience, please submit this email by the beginning of Spring Break in the semester prior to when the summer experience is going to be conducted. The committee will meet to consider all submissions and will provide feedback to the students by April 10th about their proposal and if the project is approved for meeting the certificate requirements. If it is approved, a post-implementation report will be required following the completion of the experience demonstrating how the learning objectives were achieved, the partnership was enhanced, and student reflections on the experience.
