Global TIES - Teams in Engineering Service is an innovative humanitarian engineering program of the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California, San Diego.  Global TIES puts multi-disciplinary teams of undergraduates to work building the dreams of not-for-profit organizations and their clients in San Diego and in developing countries around the world.  Renowned UC San Diego faculty and researchers advise the teams, and students receive course credit for their work.  Global TIES teams give students an invaluable opportunity to apply their skills in a real world setting, while learning firsthand the role that engineering and technology can play in solving the problems that face their local community and the world.  Not-for-profit organizations receive critically needed but often cost-prohibitive technical expertise to help them improve the lives of their clients.

Global TIES is one of three programs to earn UC San Diego a place of distinction on the U.S. President's 2009 Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.
