James R. Mihelcic is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and State of Florida 21st Century World Class Scholar at the University of South Florida. He is the founder (and current director) of the Masters International Program in Civil & Environmental Engineering. This program has allowed engineering graduate students to combine education and research with engineering service in the U.S. Peace Corps. To date, students have served and performed research in over 24 countries. Dr. Mihelcic is the current president of the Association of Environmental Engineering and Science Professors (AEESP) and is a member of the EPA Science Advisory Board for Environmental Engineering. He is the author of two new textbooks coming out in print over the next 6 months that have as a focus environmental engineering, sustainable development, and globalization of engineering education. Dr. Mihelcic has published extensively about sustainability and global issues of water supply and scarcity, sanitation, and solid waste management. He has traveled extensively in the developing world working on projects related to water supply and treatment, sanitation, solid waste management, and community health. This winter he is an international organizer of an NSF workshop taking place in New Zealand that deals with Sustainable Infrastructure that supports the Built Environment.

The International Engineering Program is a dual-degree program combining a B.A. in German, French and/or Spanish with a B.S. in one of the engineering disciplines.  IEP students study language and culture each semester along with their engineering curriculum. In the fourth year of the five-year program, they then go abroad as interns with engineering based firms in Europe or Latin America, and also as exchange students with one of our partner universities
