Engineers Without Borders student chapters work with developing communities to improve quality of life through the implementation of environmentally and economically sustainable engineering projects while developing internationally responsible engineering students. Missouri S&T’s EWB chapter plans to travel to Los Eucaliptos, Bolivia; Nahualate, Guatemala; Santiago, Honduras; and Tacachia, Bolivia; during the school year.
