Engineers Without Borders: Students making a difference

On this episode of Campus Voices, we sat down with Engineers Without Borders president Sarah Hartman and project managers Meredith Simon-Pearson and Natalie Muneses. During our interview, Sarah talked to us about the enormous time and effort students put into the program in order to help ameliorate conditions in developing communities.

The University of Delaware’s Engineers Without Borders chapter is currently working on two projects in Malawi and the Philippines. Both these projects focus on helping communities find and/or clean dirty water that they can use to survive. The chapter will be hosting a fundraiser at the Harker ISE Lab on April 20th at 6:30 p.m.
