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 then their vision has grown to over 16,800 members across 180 campuses with almost 300 chapters working on nearly 700 community development programs in 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.

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:Tate EWBUmain 2//universityinnovation.jpg|thumb|Tate EWBUmain 2org/images/5/52/Tate_EWBUmain_2.jpg]] 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. You can read more about EWB-UMaine's projects and reach out to the student team on their [http://ewbportlandmaine.org/ website].
