Engineers Without Borders - USA (EWB-USA) is a non-profit humanitarian organization established to partner with developing communities worldwide in order to improve their quality of life. This partnership involves the implementation of sustainable engineering projects, while involving and training internationally responsible engineers and engineering students. The activities of EWB-USA range from the construction of sustainable systems that developing communities can own and operate without external assistance, to empowering such communities by enhancing local, technical, managerial, and entrepreneurial skills. These projects are initiated by, and completed with, contributions from the host community working with our project teams.

The EWB – Las Vegas Professional Chapter was formed in March 2008 with a mission to implement and carry on sustainable development projects in the US and abroad, while training members to become project mentors and leaders; to mentor local student chapter(s) and facilitate chapter development; to involve and educate the local community about issues related to EWB¬USA; and to promote and foster ideas and projects related to sustainable development in a manner consistent with the objectives of EWB-USA.
