Abstract :
The Peace Corps, entering its third year of operation, announces that one of the areas of major concentration is in engineering fields and that forthcoming projects call for engineers to work in varied jobs, from classroom teaching on a university level to mapping out farm-tomarket roads, planning rural electrification projects, working on water conservation programs, building bridges and aqueducts, and designing irrigation systems. Host country requests received by the Peace Corps are doubling and tripling as the need for engineering skills develops around the world from Malaya to Brazil.
