Our History and Culture
About Us → Our History and Culture

EWB’s story began over thirteen years ago, with a small group of engineers in Melbourne and across Australia. Today, the EWB community includes thousands of people and dozens of organisations working together to engineer a better world.

Our inclusive, collaborative culture attracts a wide variety of engineers and non-engineers, and we take pride in the diversity of skills, backgrounds, cultures and experience in our community. We are uncompromising in our pursuit of engineering people out of poverty.
