The Engineers Without Borders Challenge (EWB Challenge) is an Australasian design program for first-year university students. Students work in teams to develop conceptual designs for projects identified by EWB's community partners that contribute towards the sustainable development of disadvantaged communities.
The EWB Undergraduate Research Program allows EWB to work collaboratively with community partners, universities and research institutions to assist communities, provide students with real world experience, and build the capacity of all partners.
EWB School Outreach activities engage school students and teachers in interactive workshops on sustainable development and engineering. The workshops are designed to inspire and motivate students to explore issues such as global sustainability, human development, appropriate technology the role of engineering in poverty eradication.
EWB chapters around Australia are hosting one and two day workshops called "Pathways to Working with Developing Communities". These interactive workshops provide an excellent opportunity for EWB members to learn more about EWB and explore opportunities to engage in work with communities.
