Learning Through Service
Engineers Without Borders has been an incredible opportunity for me to become integrally involved in something that I hope my future career will resemble. From the development work to the hands-on engineering experience, leadership opportunities to interactions with professionals in the field, I have loved being apart of EWB and everything we do!" ~ Nikki van den Heever (CivEngr BS'18, MS'18)
At CU Boulder, we don’t just provide service learning opportunities – we pioneer them. Professor Bernard Amadei is the founder of Engineers without Borders - USA, and alumna Avery Bang (MCivEngr’09) is CEO of Bridge Buffs/Engineers in Action.
