Attention world-changers! Are you interested in engineering that addresses real-world problems, has global awareness, and focuses on sustainability and community empowerment?

Engineers Without Borders is a non-profit humanitarian organization which partners with developing communities around the world. Chapters focus on designing, funding, and implementing technology which improves quality of life; our work includes water quality and renewable energy projects. Currently at N.C. State, over a series of international trips, we have established relationships with a school in Freetown, Sierra Leone, and a community center in Asanquiri, Bolivia.

Our interest meeting will be in Daniels 434 at 7:30 p.m. on January 19th. We will talk about previous trips, current projects, and the professional benefits of being an EWB member. And there will be FREE pizza!

About our team

ewbwebmaster — Thu, 25 Aug 2011 02:22:04 +0000

EWB-USA was founded in 2002 by University of Colorado-Boulder Civil Engineering professor, Dr. Bernard Amadei in order to address some of the most prevalent challenges facing the developing world, including water purification and delivery, sanitation, transportation and infrastructure projects, and sustainable and renewable energy systems. What started as a backyard conversation with a landscaper from San Pablo, Belize resulted in a clean water system for the local community and sparked a global engineering movement that has directly impacted more than one million people to date. The nonprofit started with 18 members and one university chapter. And today, EWB-USA is comprised of an expansive network of over 12,000 members and more than 225 university student and professional chapters engaged in over 400 active programs in 45 countries around the world.

The North Carolina State University Student Chapter, founded in 2006, has three active projects; a water sanitation project in Bolivia, an energy project in Sierra Leone, and a water systems project in Sierra Leone. For more information about our current projects, please visit our “about” page.

Each project committee is made up of approximately 10 – 20 students from many different majors, both engineering, and non-engineering. In addition, each project has at least one profession mentor with significant work experience in a relevant field. For more information about the projects, please contact one of the project leads:
