Welcome to the UMass Amherst Chapter of Engineers Without Borders
Engineers Without Borders UMass is a student organization dedicated to helping local and international communities create sustainable solutions to improve their quality of life.
We are a group of graduate and undergraduate students whose mission is:
(1) To improve the quality of life of disadvantaged communities by developing environmentally conscious, socially equitable, and economically sustainable engineering projects.
(2) To develop lasting and responsible relationships with other communities, locally and internationally
(3) To create opportunities for all students to gain experience in community development locally and abroad
Our project group is responsible for the design, fundraising, construction, and implementation of each project. The idea is not to create a singular "solution" but to provide the tools necessary for the community to help themselves.
We believe that students and engineers are part of the solution to social inequalities.
