“Improving the lives of the 5 billion people whose main concern is to stay alive by the end of each day on our planet is no longer an option for engineers; it is an obligation.” -Dr. Bernard Amadei, EWB-USA Founder

At EWB Illinois Tech, we are a highly motivated, diverse, and socially-responsible group of engineers and problem solvers. We feel a strong sense of responsibility to use our skills in order to make positive change in the world. Our members take charge of projects from the initial application to project monitoring and closeout - everything we do is student led and student run. Volunteers with EWB Illinois Tech are the next generation of leaders and doers.
