Engineers Support Volcano Recovery in Guatemala
For the community of Socorro, Guatemala, a 213-foot pedestrian bridge spanning the Pantaleón River provided safe passage and connected people to important resources. On June 3, Volcano Fuego erupted without warning, sending rivers of molten lava onto the communities below and destroying this vital point of access. See how our volunteer collaborated with an unconventional team to rebuild the bridge. Read more
In the News: Breaking Down Borders — Engineering Students use Geospatial Technology to Help Developing-World Communities Access Water
Christian Brodbeck is standing in a small village in western Rwanda. It's hot and dry. There is no air conditioning in the buildings and no breeze outside. Actually, there isn't any running water or electricity either. And, of course, no WiFi. Yet Brodbeck is receiving some of the highest accuracy positioning data possible in a region as remote as any in the world. Read more
In the News: Diagnostic Tool Helps Engineers to Design Better Global Infrastructure Solutions
EWB-USA member and agricultural and biological engineering researcher Ann-Perry Witmer has authored a new study that provides guidance to engineers working with cultures different from their own. EWB-USA now offers Witmer's diagnostic tool to volunteers traveling to the field to improve design approaches for individual communities. Read more
Engineering Solutions to Global Emergencies: An Engineer's Role in West Africa's Ebola Outbreak
