The Cornell
Student Chapter of Engineers for a Sustainable World
(formerly called Engineers
Without Frontiers) is a student chapter of the national ESW organization.
Both the national organization and the Cornell chapter were founded
at Cornell in 2001. ESW, now represented at over 30 campuses nationwide,
addresses critical global challenges such as safe drinking water, food
security, energy needs, and information technology!
Our mission
