Engineers Without Borders
Engineers Without Borders
We aim to foster collaboration between the student, faculty, and professional members of our chapter, as well as between our chapter and our partner communities. In addition, we strive to forge long-term relationships with our partner communities, and aim to empower them to drive change themselves.
We research, design, and implement sustainable technical solutions that not just meet the needs of disadvantaged communities but empower them to improve their quality of life.
We respect different cultures and highly value local knowledge. When working with communities we strive to offer alternative solutions, both technical and social, which are appropriate.
Our critical engineering approach ensures we learn from past experience and we constantly seek to improve how we assist with development. One of the core tenants of our mission is the education of people both locally and overseas.
