Started in 2005, the Engineers Without Borders chapter at Michigan Tech is off to a great start. With more than 75 members from 13 majors, this group seeks to partner with communities on sustainable engineering solutions to difficult problems.

In February, nineteen of the chapter members traveled to the EWB National Conference. It was the largest chapter representation among the 120 student chapters. The Michigan Tech chapter won the EWB National Award for Chapter Development (sponsored by IEEE) in their first year.

They recently finished their first project, a septic system at an elementary school in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, shown in photos at left. The next community assessment team will go to Guatemala in early April.
