Engineers Without Borders - UC Berkeley
Share
This is EWB - UC Berkeley Student Chapter's page. Our chapter has three ongoing projects: 1 in Panama, and 2 in Nicaragua.
Engineers Without Borders is a national organization focused on applying engineering skills to help communities around the world. There are hundreds of student and professional organizations in the United States. Berkeley's chapter was founded in 2009, and started with our current project, Groundwater Arsenic Remediation of the Peruvian Altiplano, a high plain located on the north side of Lake Tit
We are so excited to announce that we are launching our annual Crowdfunding Campaign to fund our engineering projects abroad! These projects will provide access to clean and reliable water and sanitation to 3,000 people in Panama and Nicaragua. While we’re putting a pause on traveling for our projects, we still have a lot of work to do behind the scenes, from making designs for our systems, keeping in contact with our community, and launching a new project here at home. Please help support our projects by sharing this post and making a gift today to the link below!

Are you a member of the undergraduate engineering student body who has pondered any of the following questions? Why can’t I find any Berkeley engineering merchandise? Can I get a free t-shirt sometime this month? Is the Dean of Engineering putting on any fun events this semester? On weekdays, from September 25th through October 4th, the engineering student council in concert with EWB/other student organizations and the college of engineering staff will be handing out free college of engineering t-shirts. We are all excited to see you between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm on the days listed below. This exciting community event will be in front of Engineering Student Services, so come on out and get a free t-shirt!
