Engineers Without Borders
EWB-I seeks to provide a unique platform for its member groups, affiliates, and outside organizations in order to: Create a new generation of global engineers – Contribute to meeting the MDGs through capacity building in local projects – Collaborate on projects and studies worldwide – Share ideas, experiences, technical knowledge, and documentation Develop partnerships on community projects – Coordinate student exchanges, internships, and professional volunteers – Train and connect engineering professionals and students around the world.
The projects aim to provide alternative sources of energy to remote communities who are not connected to the local grid. In some projects a single system is built and in some projects the mini systems are scaled up to mini independent grids.
