In its declaration of aims on its website,[2] EWB Australia outlines four principal areas of focus: EWB espouses a strengths-based approach[3] to sustainable development and advocates the creation of systemic change through humanitarian engineering.

EWB engages with engineering students, professionals in the industry as well as the broader community in three key areas: Programs (Projects), Education and Advocacy.
