In 2002, Professor Bernard Amadei founded Engineers Without Borders-USA with the goal of creating positive change for developing communities through the combined efforts of students, faculty, professional engineers and community members. The CU chapter was the first in the organization that has now grown to include EWB-USA and has 206 chapters and 130+ projects in 34 countries, with 4000+ members. EWB at University of Colorado Boulder currently has three teams that work on projects in Nepal, Rwanda, and Ecuador. Each team is at different stages of implementing different water systems that fit the community’s needs.
