We: ESW defines its goals as follows:[4] In support of the mission, ESW's primary goals are to: While earning an engineering master's degree at Cornell University, Regina Clewlow began developing the vision for Engineers Without Frontiers USA (EWF-USA) in early 2001.
Working with her friend and mentor, Krishna Athreya, Regina began to develop the framework for EWF-USA's national organization.
By December 2002, chapters had formed at other universities across the United States, including Stanford, Northwestern, Caltech, and UC-Berkeley.
In September 2008, Regina Clewlow stepped down as executive director to pursue a doctoral degree in engineering at MIT.
The project scope is to design an integral and affordable charging station that is solar powered, can be retrofitted to these campus canopy tables, and that can be mass production manufactured.
And when the device is not in range of the wifi (disconnected) then the micro controller will turn off the power strip saving energy.
CommUnity is a challenge that empowers interdisciplinary student teams to develop solutions to improve access to resources, quality of life, and climate-resistant infrastructure system.
We will educate teams in community based learning, guiding them to work collaboratively with organizations to propose solutions to local resiliency challenges.
Students can put to use their technical skills while also learning throughout the process in an authentic and hands-on way, thereby gaining valuable experiences.
The team then used their previous research into optimizing natural herbicide solutions to educate community gardeners on organic weed control.
The team discussed several community issues with LBO, including transportation and accessibility to public space, but decided to focus on sustainable agriculture and monarch conservancy in the gardens.
University of California – San Diego The UCSD team partnered with the Global Action Research Center and Hoover High School in San Diego's City Heights area to focus on improving the connection between local youth and their community.
The team is working to implement after-school programs focused on sustainability and STEM topics at the high school.
To support the center's mission of growth and rehabilitation, the team designed and built a wheelchair-accessible sustainable solar tabletop garden with a rainwater capture system.
