Description
"Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Show them how to fish, and they eat for a life time."
The EWB-USA CSU Fresno Student Chapter exists to help organize and carry out engineering projects in developing countries. These projects must be effective, sustainable, and beneficial and sensitive to the recipient community. This organization strives to be cross-disciplinary and open to students from all engineering majors as well as students who are not engineering majors. What makes it unique is that it can introduce engineering students to social and global issues and raise awareness about an engineer’s role in the global community, which are important topics that may not be raised very often in the course of a typical engineering curriculum.
