USING ENGINEERING TO SERVE
Engineers Without Borders-USA is a non-profit, humanitarian organization of dedicated and enthusiastic students and professionals who believe everyone should have access to adequate sanitation, safe drinking water, and resources to meet their basic needs. Once identifying a problem, our chapter at University of Delaware works closely with an international community and professional engineers to develop and implement a sustainable solution.
