Engineering Students Without Borders
Description
Engineering Students Without Borders is student-run organization devoted to issues of international development through engineering applications. Our goal is to find feasible and sustainable ways to implement development policies and innovative ways to use technology to meet basic human needs. This will be accomplished through a combination of
independent research, engineering outreach projects, scholarship, dialogue, and presentations.
Projects
Read about our projects, and come to our next meeting to get involved! Students can apply for numerous grants to fund their projects, including the ESWB Award.
Meetings
Thank you to Worrell Water Technologies for their excellent presentation on Sept. 18, and for hosting a site tour on Oct. 2. Download the ppt slides for more information.
Our next general body meeting will be held Thursday, Oct. 16, 7-8 pm in OLS 120. Beth Neville-Evans from the Ixatan Foundation will speak about her work in Guatemala implementing ceramic filters for water purification.
Abstract for IRB is due October 13, and CGH & Pfizer Application Deadline November 3!
General Body Meetings will be held every other Thursday in OLS 120 from 7-8 pm. View our calendar of events! There will be a different topic each time. We will bring in guest speakers, talk about how to get involved in projects and sources of funding, hold workshops and community events, and more! We welcome students from any background, not just engineers.
Executive board meetings are held on Thursdays, 5-6pm in OLS 102A, on the off-weeks when there is no general body meeting. We'd love for you to get involved! Email Eric if you'd like to come to one of the Exec meetings to see how it works.
