University Registration

Universities who wish to participate in the EWB Challenge are invited to register their involvement by 30 April 2008.

Registration costs $1,000 per university.

University registration is very important because it:

Enables EWB to track university and student participation

Provides important funding to support the administration of the EWB Challenge. This includes presentations at universities, communication with students and lecturers and the development of future design briefs.

A significant potion of the university registration funds will be set aside to provide travel support to teams invited to present their work at the EWB National Conference. For more information on travel support, click here.

In return for their registration, universities have the opportunity to participate in a national design program which provides excellent learning outcomes for sustainability education.

Learning for Development: Participatory Approaches

We are not teachers or transferors of technology, but instead conveyors, catalysts and facilitators. Our role is to enable local people to do their own investigations, analysis, presentations, planning and action, to own the outcome and to teach us, sharing their knowledge. (Robert Chambers, 1995)

Engineers Without Borders Australia works with disadvantaged communities to improve their quality of life through education and the implementation of sustainable and appropriate engineering projects. To achieve its mission EWB focuses on developing the capacity of the local technical sector to ensure that innovative, appropriate and sustainable solutions to issues that impede development are locally generated and driven.
