Engineering Students working on a Habitat for Humanity project

The Georgia Tech student chapter of Engineers Without Borders is connecting with communities in developing nations to assist in developing sustainable solutions for engineering problems. Currently the Georgia Tech chapter has a project in La Lima, Honduras working on a water distribution system. The COE students have traveled to La Lima to assess the condition of the Colonia Los Angeles water system and to determine the reliability of the pump, well, and water tower which are primary concerns in the town. The students are also working on the source of the contaminant infiltration point in the system, assessing possible new tank sites, commencing a public health campaign directed at children and main users of the water system, as well as meeting with all community members to discuss the different possible solutions for their water distribution needs.

Eleven engineering students in their work clothes and hard hats pause for a photo on the frame of the structure they are building.

Engineering Students working on a Habitat for Humanity project

Along with the Honduras projects, COE students are working with the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) and Emory University's Center for Global Safe Water on developing a dry sanitation system in the form of a solar latrine as part of a World Bank project. In addition, students are working in a village in Ecuador to build a house in correlation with the Global Village program of Habitat for Humanity International.
