EWB Challenge Website Site
The EWB Challenge website is a gateway for the exchange of information on the EWB Challenge. The website has been developed to facilitate information dissemination on the EWB Challenge to students and universities and to streamline the 2007 registration process.
EWB Challenge FAQ Page
The EWB Challenge FAQ page provides students with answers to commonly asked questions about the design projects. Students in second semester 2007 are asked to direct any questions that they may have to their course co-oridinators and academic staff. It is important that students and universities do not contact The East West Overseas Aid Foundation directly.
