Projects with Underserved Communities (PUC) is a UT Austin program that pairs engineering and social work students in service-learning collaborations around the world.
This past summer, a team went to Thailand to install a filtered water transmission and distribution system for the village of Don Kang, and another team went to Guatemala to design and build solar panels that will provide electrical power for a children’s malnutrition clinic in the town of San Agustín Acasaguastlán.
Through PUC, students meet community needs while gaining skills in project management, leadership, and cultural competency.
