In exchange for an annual fee to support the local chapter, the EWH provides comprehensive packages of financial benefits, guidance on how to operate a chapter and manage numerous activities that are interesting, fun and beneficial to the community as well as technical support throughout the year. Chapter members are also eligible for consideration for travel awards to participate in joint activities with other chapters either domestically or in developing countries.
[[File:UCSD EWH.jpeg|Engineering World Health UCSD Chapter]] At University of California San Diego (UCSD) the EWH chapter is working in collaboration with the [http://cfar.ucsd.edu/ UCSD Center for AIDS Research] and designing cost-effective lab equipment to run an HIV treatment analysis assay in resource limited settings. This nucleic acid test is used to detect drug resistant forms of HIV. By introducing methods of treatment surveillance to the developing world, the hope is to contain the spread of drug-resistant forms of HIV and preserve second and third lines of anti-retroviral medication. EWH at UCSD has begun work to design automated devices for viral RNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) DNA amplification, and gel electrophoresis.
