Engineers Without Borders (Southampton)
Looking for enthusiasts from all backgrounds to change the world through engineering projects and outreach. Our mission is to lead a movement that inspires, enables and influences global responsibility through engineering.
As part of Engineers Without Borders, we work with local businesses, we work with other charities and schools as part of outreach and fundraising programs. In addition to this, Engineers Without Borders runs overseas placements in the developing world.
Our approach follows several key principles:
Holistic Engineering - we work with an interdisciplinary approach that takes into consideration the local knowledge, economy, culture and environment.
Active Partnerships - we build long-term relationships and work in collaboration with communities and local organisations. People Participation - we believe in demand-led development and participatory change.
Small Footprint - we want to adopt a sustainable use of natural resources and minimize any impact on the local environment, biodiversity or global climate.
Appropriate Technology - we adapt existing low-risk technology and apply modern engineering methods.
To enhance the outreach and impact of the society, we intend to do collaborative events with other Southampton societies and other EWB Chapters, alongside the promotion of the Engineering Challenges, scheduled EWB UK events and Designathons. Additionally, EWB Southampton intends to hold outreach and external speaker events with acquired sponsors, partners and employees from EWB UK.
