Projects
EWB-USA Projects help developing areas worldwide with their engineering needs, while involving and training a new kind of internationally responsible engineering student.
The projects involve the design and construction of water, wastewater, sanitation, energy, health care and shelter systems. These projects are initiated by and completed with contributions from the host community. During this process, the host community is trained to operate the systems without external assistance. In this way, EWB-USA ensures that its projects are appropriate and self-sustaining.
