Engineers Without Borders (EWB) started in 2002 with 8 students and 1 faculty member that shared the same vision of supplying sustainable basic human needs to underveloped underdeveloped communities worldwide. Since the then their vision has grown to over 1316,000 800 members across 180 campuses with 250 almost 300 chapters working on almost 400 nearly 700 community development programs in 47 43 different countries on 5 continents. EWB-USA strives to create transformative experiences and responsible leaders by empowering members to find community solutions for water supply, sanitation, energy, agriculture, civil works, structures and information systems. [[Filehttp://universityinnovation.org/images/8/83/Tate_EWBUSA_1.jpgFrom http:Tate EWBUSA 1//universityinnovation.jpg|thumborg/images/8/83/Tate_EWBUSA_1.jpgFrom]]From gathering information, designing a thorough solution and implementing that design, members of Engineers Without Borders have impacted more than 2.5 half a million lives.

== <br/>'''Mission''' Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA) is a nonprofit humanitarian organization established to support community-driven development programs worldwide through partnerships that design and implement sustainable engineering projects, while creating transformative experiences that enrich global perspectives and create responsible leaders.<br/> ==

'''== Community Engineering Corps''': <br/> == Launched in 2014, EWB-USA formed a new alliance with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) to harness the expertise of thousands of volunteers by providing engineering services that address the infrastructure needs of an underserved community inside the United States.

'''== Mission''': <br/> == Community Engineering Corps will bring underserved communities and volunteer engineering leaders together to advance local infrastructure solutions. == Vision&nbsp;<br/> == The alliance’s vision is a country where all communities have access to the technical expertise required to ensure the infrastructure capacity to meet their needs.

'''Vision''': == The alliance’s vision is a country where all communities have access to the technical expertise required to ensure the infrastructure capacity to meet their needs.Alliance<br/> ==

'''The Alliance''': Founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents more than 145150,000 members of the civil engineering profession worldwide and is America's oldest national engineering society.

Founded in 2002, Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA) supports community-driven development programs worldwide by collaborating with local partners to design and implement sustainable engineering projects, while creating transformative experiences and responsible leaders. Their 1316,800 members work with communities to find appropriate solutions for water supply, sanitation, energy, agriculture, civil works, structures and information systems. == Purpose<br/> ==

'''Purpose''': Community Engineering Corps is an alliance between ASCE, AWWA, and EWB-USA. The alliance combines the strengths of three organizations to provide technical expertise to underserved communities in the U.S. and ensure that their infrastructure meets their community’s needs.

'''== Opportunities''': <br/> == Volunteers with a range of experience and expertise will be recruited to work on project teams, serve on program committees and provide mentorship to university student project teams.

'''=== Opportunities for Chapters and Sections=== * '''Project Teams''' – Chapters and Section can form project teams to work in underserved communities on improvement projects. Each project team must have a Professional Engineer licensed in the state in which the project will be constructed who is willing to serve as the Responsible Engineer in Charge (REIC).<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">&nbsp;<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-29b2acff-e108-ef38-d5b3-3a14738cb58b"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also, the team needs a project lead and the technical expertise to complete the work.</span></span></span></span></span>Project teams can view open projects online and apply to work on the community project.

'''=== Opportunities for Individual Members''':===

*'''Technical Review Committee (TRC)''' – The TRC is a quality control committee that provides technical review of project plans. Members of the TRC are Professional engineering licensed volunteers and will be trained by the Program Director.*'''Legal Review Committee(LRC)''' – Volunteers on the legal committee are individuals with a large experience in law who assist the project teams in developing the engineering services agreement with the community.

With over 180 Universities involved in EWB-USA, the impact students have made is far -reaching.<br/>EWB award videos can be found on [http://www.youtube.com/user/EWBUSA/videos?sort=dd&view=0&live_view=500&flow=list YouTube].

Texas A&M's EWB-TAMU chapter won the EWB-USAs "Premier Chapter" recognition for going above and beyond the mission of Engineers Without Borders. Texas A&M students visited Costa Rica multiple times to gather information about the communities needs in which they would be working. While back at Texas A&M, they spent a year assessing and designing solutions for those needs with other students and professional engineers. After that year, they went back to Costa Rica to implement and fulfill their design solutions. When construction was finsihed finished they had built a computer education center for children and made the communities water supply drinkable, while simultaneously providing 100 households with access to water.

The University of Maine (EWB-UMaine) is also well known for their professional work. Not only do they have strong student involvement, EWB-UMaine also has many professional engineers within the state working closely with students. EWB-UMaine is working on a portable water project for the village of Dorgobom, Ghana, to make water more accessible and safer to drink.[[Filehttp://universityinnovation.org/images/5/52/Tate_EWBUmain_2.jpg http:Tate EWBUmain 2//universityinnovation.org/images/5/52/Tate_EWBUmain_2.jpg|thumb]] EWB-UMaine has been quite creative in funding this project. They hold many raffles, bi-annual yard sales, bowling events and even a beer and wine tasting. Perhaps their most innovative fundraiser, making jewelry from Ghanaian beads, provided students with the ability to get a closer look of at where their time and effort was going.

Lynn and the members of the NGO have more than thirteen years experience implementing water distribution networks in Guatemala. The group will also be partnering with Quiche's La Asociación led by Diego Ramirez, a community-driven organization working to improve living conditions in the Quiche community. EWB-UWM will be installing a pump-driven water conveyance system, with Phase One including implementation of various structures and surveying. Future phases will include the installation of a distribution network, pump, and conveyance pipeline. Also, additional water testing will be done to ensure that the water source that the community owns is providing a source of clean water. *'''Vitostix and Vijilom III''' – 2011/2012*'''La Libertad''' – 2010/2011*'''Quechip''' – 2009/2010 <br/>'''Local Projects''' *Sandburg Water Catchment*Concordia Victory Garden*Physics Building Water Catchment*Physics Building Water Catchment*Bay View Hide House <br/>'''Overview of Projects''':&nbsp; [http://universityinnovation.org/images/7/7d/EWB-UWM.png http://universityinnovation.org/images/7/7d/EWB-UWM.png]
