Welcome!
Welcome to the Central America PUC team's website. We are excited to be developing projects for two communities in need!
The first project is designing and building stadium seating around an open air basketball court to create a community center for a primary school in Costa Rica.
The second project is designing and implementing needed renovations for a community center in Nicaragua. The Nicaragua project has a new website! To learn more about the Nicaragua project please visit http://pucnicaragua.weebly.com/
Costa Rica project specific information is located under the menu tabs above. All project information will be updated as the year progresses. For the most recent updates look at our blogs.

What is PUC?
"The Projects for Under-served Communities (PUC) 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. Engineering and social work professionals have complementary skill sets that lend themselves well to working on sustainable development projects together. In consultation with faculty mentors and through formal instruction, students work on project development and design with partners in marginalized communities around the world. "
