Become a partner organization

Engineers for a Sustainable World is interested in forming working relationships with partner community organizations that have an engineering need.  These partner organizations are the recipients of the services of the student engineers taking the course.

Who are we looking for?

Partner organizations may be community-based non-profits, non-governmental organizations, government agencies, small businesses, or similar groups.  The organizations that the ESW course would like to partner with are those that have identified a need within the community that may be addressed through some form of project by engineering students.  The projects should be helpful in improving the lives of underserved communities or improving global sustainability.  They should be intellectually challenging, but within the capabilities of students.  Project supervisors will guide the students and help shape the project.

Benefits to partner organizations

•  Access to state-of-the-art technical knowledge
•  Enthusiastic, knowledgeable help from students & project supervisor
•  Potential joint funding opportunities

Roles and expectations of partner organizations

•  Active participation in project identification, design, implementation for at least one  semester
•  Provide “client” perspective
•  Contribution to project funding when appropriate
