Engineers Without Borders 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 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.
The objective of the Wisconsin Professional Partners Chapter is to assist EWB-USA Student Chapters in Wisconsin and surrounding states in the implementation of projects and to facilitate Student Chapter development and cooperation. The WPP mentors and supports engineering students involved in EWB-USA approved projects, in a manner consistent with the objectives of EWB-USA.
