For more than a decade, Engineers Without Borders (EWB-USA) has been working quietly to engage professional engineers and engineering graduate students in humanitarian projects across the globe.

Graduate students enrolled in science and engineering programs have a unique opportunity through Engineers Without Borders: year-long fellowships that help you develop skills you won't learn in the classroom. By working in the operations of EWB-USA, you can gain priceless knowledge that not only promotes humanitarian efforts, but may also help you start your career when you graduate from your degree program.

The fellowship program is highly competitive, but undergraduate and graduate students are always welcome to volunteer their time on the many projects going on around the world. EWB-USA focuses on creating infrastructure in a sustainable way by supporting the environment, honoring economic realities in developing countries, and respecting society and culture.

If you're interested in renewable energy, small-scale water installation, proper sanitation, sustainable housing, telecommunications infrastructure, and many other environmental science and engineering initiatives, EWB-USA is the perfect place to get hands-on experience.

Take everything you've learned so far as a graduate student in the sciences and apply it to real-world problems. Your sense of accomplishment will amaze you. (Plus, volunteering with major non-profit organizations looks really good on your resume.)

Engineers Without Borders has more than 12,000 members working on 400 projects in nearly 50 nations across the world. Together with student and professional volunteers, EWB-USA is making a difference in developing nations. To explore all this organization can offer you, visit http://www.ewb-usa.org.
