INTRODUCTION TO THE EWB CHALLENGE The EWB Challenge is a design program for first-year University students coordinated by Engineers Without Borders Australia (EWB) and delivered in partnership with EWB-New Zealand, EWB UK, and universities in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Ireland. It provides students with the opportunity to learn about design, teamwork and communication through real, inspiring, sustainable and crosscultural development projects. By participating in the EWB Challenge students are presented with a fantastic opportunity to design creative solutions to problems identified by real EWB projects. Each year, the EWB Challenge design brief is based on a set of sustainable development projects identified by EWB with its community-based partner organisations. In past years the EWB Challenge has included developing innovative and sustainable project ideas and solutions to support communities in Vietnam, India, Cambodia
