Over the past year we have completed projects in Guatemala and Ghana, and we are currently working on projects in Uganda, Haiti, and Guatemala. We need students from all majors to getinvolved with projects as well as fundraising.

EWB-UMN is a group of students interested in sustainable engineering, the environment, and addressing needs of disadvantaged communities around the world that lack basic needs such as clean water, hygienic sanitation, energy supply, or health. We form a relationship with an organization or community abroad with a project in mind, assess the community needs and collect necessary data, conceptualize, design, and finally implement the project.ghana_implement_photo

 

Our student organization benefits not only the disadvantaged communities
in which we work, but also the students who, through project development and design, are able to obtain engineering experience during college.
