Our Student Chapter
Engineers without Borders-UWS (EWB-UWS) is an interdisciplinary student organization at the University of Washington that was initiated by a small but dedicated group of concerned students and faculty in early 2005. Since that time the group membership and activity has increased dramatically. We began and have since finished work with communities in Bolivia and Guatemala, and currently have partnerships in Nicaragua and Malawi. Locally, we are partnered with the Campus Sustainability Fund to design and program an interactive display about the rainwater system in the Population Health Building. Our newest project team is partnering with multiple groups around UW campus to improve accessibility for all. Some of their projects include creating a map for the health science building, creating new wheelchair charging stations, and collecting survey data about campus accessibility. We invite you to come check us out and explore where you can help our causes. We have a place in the club for anyone, no matter their major or experience level. We hope to see you at a general meeting soon! |
