Engineers Without Borders Canada (EWB), founded by two University of Waterloo students, is a non-profit organization that works towards eliminating poverty. Chapters all across Canada use long-term development and systemic innovation to raise awareness and create change.
Our EWB student chapter is currently trying to increase the global engineering content in our Engineering curriculum. We are also involved in the process of making Waterloo a Fair Trade – certified city. Two Junior Fellows are also sent overseas every year to work on the ground with communities in Africa.
EWB is tackling an immensely complex problem; there is lots we can do, but not without our volunteers. Expand your horizons, and think critically about the world you’ll start to engineer; join Engineers Without Borders!
