Welcome

Engineers Without Borders - USA (EWB-USA) is a non-profit humanitarian organization established to partner with developing communities worldwide in order to improve their quality of life. This partnership involves the implementation of sustainable engineering projects, while involving and training internationally responsible engineers and engineering students

Vision

The student members of Engineers without Borders at USF envision a world where all people have access to adequate sanitation, safe drinking water, and the resources to meet other self-identified engineering and economic development needs. We strive to empower engineering students with the idea that they can make a difference in the world using the tools that they have gained in the classroom.

Current Project - “Water for Miches”

EWB at USF has recently partnered with Columbia University’s Center for Environment, Economy, and Society (CEES) to develop a new international project in the Dominican Republic titled “Water for Miches”. The goal of the project is to bring the 500 residents of Miramar a clean source of water. Miramar is a community that sits on the outskirts of Miches, a municipality that lies in the second poorest province of the Dominican Republic. Here, the residents of Miramar travel to local sources including a polluted river or a broken water tower fed by the river to gather water. It is the goal of EWB at USF to raise enough funds to bring the people of Miramar the clean water source that they need.
