Engineers without Borders

The Northeastern chapter of Engineers Without Borders gives engineering students the opportunity to donate their time and skills to communities around the world. Recent projects include designing water-supply systems in Honduras and Uganda.

The purpose of the NU GEGES is to improve the quality of the graduate environmental and geo-environmental experience at Northeastern University. Seminars, workshops, field trips, and other events will be organized to introduce and further the knowledge of various topics in environmental and geo-environmental fields. It will provide a forum for networking with graduate students, faculty, professionals and societies in the environmental and geo-environmental fields and leadership to younger students interested in joining the environmental program.
