= Overview =
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 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. [http://universityinnovation.org/images/8/83/Tate_EWBUSA_1.jpgFrom http://universityinnovation.org/images/8/83/Tate_EWBUSA_1.jpgFrom] gathering information, designing a thorough solution and implementing that design, members of Engineers Without Borders have impacted more than half a million lives.

Civil Engineering Professor Dr. Bernard Amadei at the University of Colorado-Boulder was the pioneer of a partnership program connecting the engineering skills of his students with the community of San Pablo, Belize. His engineering team of 8 students traveled to San Pablo to install a clean water system powered by a local waterfall; a sustainable and low-cost solution to provide the community with clean water and a sanitation infrastructure.
== University of Maine ==
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.[http://universityinnovation.org/images/5/52/Tate_EWBUmain_2.jpg http://universityinnovation.org/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 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].
