In March of 2009, the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science (CECS) and Engineers Without Borders Australia launched a new University Partnership. The new partnership, only the second EWB University Partnership nation-wide, builds upon previous joint activities over the last couple of years. The Partnership provides a framework for further engagement between CECS and EWB and new opportunites for students.
The Partnership oversees numerous activities including:
- The EWB Challenge, which is delivered through the first year course Discovering Engineering.
- EWB Undergraduate Research Scholarships for final year honours students.
- School Outreach Program which delivers workshops to school students to raise awareness of sustainable development issues.
- Conducting activities and having stalls at numerous university events throughout the year, including ANU Open Day, the CECS Careers Fair, and Celebrate Sustainability Day.
- Identifying new initiatives for the future.
The official launch of the Partnership was held on the 4th of March 2009. The story was covered by WinTV, Channel 9's Local News, and may be viewed below:
