About
Engineers Without Borders at UCLA, founded in 2006, is the campus chapter of EWB-USA, with student teams that design and build infrastructure alongside partner communities. In Bukonko, Uganda, the chapter drilled a borehole that supplies about 14,000 liters of clean water an hour, and in San Sebastián, Nicaragua, where it has worked since 2013, it finished a $120,000 schoolhouse that doubles as a storm shelter in 2024. Earlier projects took members to Guatemala, Thailand and the Navajo Nation. Students from any major, including business and film, can join a project team.
