The Engineers Without Borders-USA Rice University Student Chapter (Rice-EWB) is a student-run organization dedicated to collaborating with communities in the developing world. We aim to:

• • provide community-driven sustainable and culturally appropriate engineering solutions that improve quality of life

  • form strong intercultural relationships and understanding.

  • Develop socially and politically conscious engineers with outstanding leadership skills and practical, hands-on, engineering experience.

In 2003, EWB-USA Rice was the second EWB-USA chapter to be formed after a group of Rice students worked with the University of Colorado chapter on projects in Africa. The national organization continues to expand and now is composed of more than 300 chapters.

One team currently comprises the Rice chapter; this team is currently working on a bridge project in Prado, Peru. You can join projects at any time and do not need to be an engineer. We are currently working on expanding our emphasis on health and education and would love those interested in global health to join!
