Awards Ceremony and Student Prizes

The EWB Challenge awards ceremony will be held at the AAEE conference following the finalist team presentations.

All students in the six finalist teams will all receive certificates to acknowledge their achievement. Money prizes will be rewarded to three teams based on the combined results of their report submission and presentation.

  • First prize $3,000
  • Second prize $2,000
  • Third prize $1,000

The winning team will also be invited to join EWB for an international study tour on community development. The tour will run for approximately three weeks and include an observation visit to the host program.

During the study tour the winning team will:

  • Learn about the role of engineering in community development through first-hand experience.
  • Learn more about EWB programs: from program initiation to design, implementation and review.
  • Visit the EWB host program, where possible. The opportunity may arise for students to contribute to the program.
  • Learn about another country and its social, environmental and engineering issues.
