Engineers Without Borders - Colorado State University Bringing clean water to a village of 800 in La Criba, El Salvador. Get involved Today!

Engineers Without Borders at Colorado State University (EWB-CSU) partners with disadvantaged communities in Latin America to improve their quality of life through the implementation of environmentally and economically sustainable engineering projects. Through these projects, we give students of all backgrounds, from engineering to anthropology, the opportunity gain hands-on experience in international development. We are a chapter of Engineers Without Border-USA, a non-governmental organization established in 2000 which helps students and professionals with the design and construction of water, wastewater, sanitation, energy, and shelter systems. We strive to include the community in all phases of the project to ensure ownership, appropriateness and long-term effectiveness while building self-sustainability. The scale of this problem requires a new way of thinking and a long term approach. As important as international aid programs are, many community problems cannot be solved by short-term international aid programs. These problems will require the dedication of a new generation of professionals, working hand-in-hand with local communities, social scientists, economists, businesses, human rights organizations, other non-government organizations, and international development organizations. EWB assists in training a new generation of professionals through hands-on involvement in new and ongoing national and international development projects.

We will be going to Engineering Research Center to tour the hydraulics lab! 🌊🌊

3 graduate students will be guiding us so this is a great opportunity to learn about graduate school and physical hydraulic modeling! ⛲️

Like the message in the group me so we can get a head count and arrange transportation. Plan to be at the Morgan Library Parking lot near Eddy by 5 pm 9/29 :)

Welcome back Rams! As the 26-27 academic year settles in, we wanted to highlight one of our recent projects!!🪴

Last semester RWB was granted the opportunity to work on our first irrigation project! We partnered with The Hispanic Women’s Farming Proyecto to design and install drip irrigation systems in 14 homes throughout northern Colorado. The Hispanic Women’s Farming Proyecto encourages women to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities through agricultural practices. 🍅🌿🌶️

Over Labor Day weekend, we had the opportunity to celebrate the success of the systems with the women in the group. And in the next coming weeks, we look forward to installing an additional system!🚰

We wanted to thank The Hispanic Women’s Framing Proyecto for giving us the opportunity to work on this project and for being such gracious host! We also wanted to thank our amazing team and our supporters that assisted with fundraising efforts!💛💚

Last two slides are the same planter box just 3 months difference! 🍓🌱
