Engineers Without Borders organization is at the forefront of a movement in which university students and skilled engineers, team with public health professionals, educators, business leaders and others to address some of the most prevalent challenges facing the world today. We have built a momentum over the last decade that astounds even us.
At the same time we are focusing on communities and projects, we are focusing on the engineer. The EWB program provides skills outside of the academic environment that are significant for expanding the academic knowledge into actual practical experience.
