When and where do we meet? We meet on Tuesdays at 6pm in Ferland (the new engineering building) in Room 111 (assuming room availability - we may meet in other rooms in the building, so if someone else is there, check upstairs for us!).

Who are we?

Engineers Without Borders is an international collection of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) whose focus is furthering development through engineering.

We are the University of Maine Chapter – a group of students dedicated to improving others’ quality of life. Specifically, we work with communities in developing countries on sustainable engineering projects. Our club may have engineers in the name, but it is not limited to engineering majors. We have a design team and a membership and fundraising team needing new members!

We are currently working on a clean water access project in Walugoma Uganda. We have also completed a project in Dulce Vivir de Copan, Honduras, where we revitalized their sanitation system. You can find more information on this trip here. We are also seeking out more local wastewater treatment and community betterment projects. 

If you are passionate about humanitarian projects please contact us at ewb.umainechapter@gmail.com or come to our meetings on Tuesdays at 6 pm in Room 111 in Ferland on the University of Maine, Orono campus.
