Our mission is to support community-driven development programs worldwide by collaborating with local partners to design and implement sustainable engineering projects, while creating transformative experiences and responsible leaders.
Our guiding principles are to:
- Create a sense of excitement and enthusiasm about solving technical development problems within a cultural and social context by bringing together those who are interested and encouraging discussion amongst them to solve the problem together.
- Organize a project team(s) to design and implement sustainable and appropriate community engineering projects.
- Provide transformative education to students with first hand project experience, seminars, lectures, conferences, and workshops.
- Work with EWB-USA to ensure the quality of the engineering package and the end product for the community.
- Be aware of the cultural and social implications of the proposed technological changes brought about by the implementation of the project.
- Partner with local professional engineering communities and EWB-USA professional and university chapters.
“We aim to foster an ongoing commitment and relationship with the communities we serve. Communication including site visits and face-to-face meetings form the basis for reaching our goal of providing sustainable benefits.”
