Abstract:

Engineers Without Borders - USA (EWB-USA) is a non-profit humanitarian organization established to partner with developing communities worldwide in order to improve their quality of life. This partnership involves the implementation of sustainable engineering projects, while involving and training internationally responsible engineers and engineering students.

The activities of EWB-USA range from the construction of sustainable systems that developing communities can own and operate without external assistance, to empowering such communities by enhancing local, technical, managerial, and entrepreneurial skills. These projects are initiated by, and completed with, contributions from the host community working with our project teams.

Being presented will be the history of EWB-USA and EWB-CPC (Chicagoland Professional Chapter), various projects performed by EWB, the current status of EWB and the current projects and plans for EWB-CPC and our affiliated student chapters.
