History

Engineers without Borders is a UBCO chapter best known for their various community work while building strong leadership skills for the engineering students involved. The chapter takes part in numerous community events, local and global, creating meaningful impact in all the projects they take on. Despite the name, Engineers without Borders, this chapter welcomes individuals from all different faculties not just those pursuing an engineering education, promoting inclusivity and welcoming new perspectives. First brought onto campus on December 5, 2011, the club was popular amongst students and quickly started to take initiative on campus.

Community Events

In March of 2019, the UBCO EWB held a Women Leading Change workshop in the EME (Engineering Management of Education ) building. This event's purpose was to bring on panelists paving ways in male dominated industries to share their experiences to the students. They also collected women’s items to donate to Kelowna’s Hope Outreach,

In addition, the EWB group holds a Run to End Poverty at Knox Mountain annually, which fundraises in hopes to end poverty in rural Africa. This event is widely promoted and always has a huge turn out, making it one of the EWB’s most successful events.
