Club Information History: In the fall of 2004 a group of undergraduate and graduate students from the chemical, civil, hydrology, and mining engineering departments, with the assistance of Dr. Sean Dessureault (Mining Engineering Faculty Membr) and Dr. Bart Nijssen (Civil Engineering Faculty Member), joined together with the common goal of establishing an official Engineers Without Borders organization on the University of Arizona campus. This goal became a reality with the ratification of the club's constitution, the hosting of a first general meeting held on February 17th, 2005, and the transfer of power to an elected executive committee. EWB-UA established its affiliation with the national organization, EWB-USA, during the summer 2005. |
