S.O.S. = students on service (part 2)

by Julia Rocchi on Tue, 10/07/2008 - 09:22

We introduced you to community and arts causes at Columbia U yesterday. Now we're playing to the left side of your brain by featuring student group Engineers Without Borders (flickr pics here!).

The Columbia U chapter of Engineers Without Borders addresses the problems facing people locally and globally by pulling together students from engineering and arts backgrounds to work on creative, sustainable, engineering solutions. In a great example of looking beyond campus walls, they are currently working on three programs in Ghana, India, and Uganda.

Hear one young engineer's wish for how service legislation can help his cause.
