The UCLA student chapter of Engineers without Borders was founded in 2006 by a group of diverse students who were dedicated to using their education to create a lasting, positive impact in the world. Since then, our club has become strongly involved in many international projects, recently completing critical infrastructure projects in Guatemala, Thailand, Nicaragua, and the Navajo Nation. Our chapter is currently tackling our most nuanced projects to date in Uganda, Ethiopia, Nepal, Colombia, and California.

Our mission is to support community driven development programs worldwide by collaborating with local partners to design and implement sustainable engineering projects while creating transformative experiences and responsible leaders. In the last few years, with travel restrictions due to a worldwide pandemic, the ability for us to cross borders and implement our engineering design has been greatly limited. However, we are still finding ways to create lasting impact on communities in need through successful remote community work, construction, and project implementation.
