Service

Engineers Without Borders

Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA) is a nonprofit humanitarian organization established to support community-driven development programs worldwide through partnerships that design and implement sustainable engineering projects.

Girls Engineering Change (GEC)

College engineering students (both women and men) host workshops, usually on Saturday mornings for 1.5 – 2 hours, where they assemble small engineering devices with youth aged 8-14 from the Triangle area. Their mission is to show girls that they can change the world through engineering and donate most of the kits built in these workshops.

Helping Hand Project

The HHP uses 3D printing and innovative design solutions to provide recreational prosthetic devices to people with upper limb differences. Their chapter specializes in custom designs for recipients who would not benefit from a standard 3D printed device. They take on unique cases. They also have a Support team that connects with families throughout the device development process and creates care packages for the children in order to add a personal touch.

SciBridge

SciBridge was motivated by the desire to continue and grow the scientific discussion between U.S. and east African scientists around exciting scientific topics in sustainable energy development. SciBridge ships kits that contain almost everything needed to perform novel experiments around the theme of materials for sustainable energy.

The SciBridge project is based at North Carolina State University and Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda.
