Engineering for Change

Engineering for Change

www.engineeringforchange.org

Engineering for Change (E4C) LLC was founded in the spirit of engineers' harnessing a common passion for designing and applying creative technical solutions to a broad range of significant humanitarian challenges.

E4C is a dynamic and growing community of engineers, technologists, social scientists, NGOs, local governments and community advocates whose mission is to improve quality of life in communities around the world by facilitating the development of affordable, locally appropriate and sustainable solutions to the most pressing humanitarian challenges.

Mission

E4C is a dynamic and growing community of engineers, technologists, social scientists, NGOs, local governments and community advocates whose mission is to improve quality of life in communities around the world by facilitating the development of affordable, locally appropriate and sustainable solutions to the most pressing humanitarian challenges.

Approach

E4C's approach is to provide a common forum for facilitating connection, collaboration, knowledge exchange and content aggregation with complete openness, transparency and accessibility. E4C will extend its impact by facilitating partnerships with organizations that are 'on the ground' defining needs and implementing appropriate solutions.

Founding Organizations

Originally conceived by ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), E4C is a global alliance which now includes IEEE and Engineers Without Borders-USA (EWB-USA). The E4C alliance represents over 500,000 member engineers and technologists from industry and academia throughout the world.

ASME

www.asme.org

ASME helps the global engineering community develop solutions to real world challenges. Founded in 1880 as the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, ASME is a not-for-profit professional organization that enables collaboration, knowledge sharing and skill development across all engineering disciplines, while promoting the vital role of the engineer in society. ASME codes and standards, publications, conferences, continuing education and professional development programs provide a foundation for advancing technical knowledge and a safer world.

Engineers Without Borders-USA

www.ewb-usa.org

EWB-USA is a nonprofit humanitarian organization established to support community-driven development programs worldwide through partnerships that design and implement sustainable engineering projects. EWB-USA members comprised of professional and student engineers or other disciplines, work with local communities and NGOs in over 45 developing countries around the world on projects such as water, renewable energy, sanitation and more. Time Magazine called Engineers Without Borders-USA the "Blueprint Brigade." EWB-USA has grown from little more than a handful of members in 2002 to over 12,000 members today and has over 400 projects worldwide. EWB-USA maintains over 289 dedicated chapters, including university chapters on 197 campuses in the United States, and has touched the lives of more than one million people.
