About EWB @ TTU
Texas Tech University recognized the Texas Tech Chapter of Engineers Without Borders as a student organization on February 15th, 2006. At the time, we had a short list of 10 students who were eager to help us out by signing their name to the university-required paperwork for new and re-registering organizations. The first informational meeting was held on March 9th, 2006, with more than 30 students attending. These students spanned 6 of the 8 engineering departments of Texas Tech and showed a tremendous interest in the organization. Our email list now contains hundreds students who voluntarily gave contact information to be kept up-to-date on the chapter news and meetings.
The Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, as a whole, has shown immense support for the organization through funding and opportunities. With the help of the College of Engineering, the chapter was able to build prototypes and send Travel Teams to Panama for the past couple of years in order to progress with our "Clean Water for Solong" project. Today, we are in the last phases of our Panama project and have other project opportunities that the Chapter is excited to share about for the the 2019-2020 academic year! In addition to these projects, our chapter holds social, volunteering, and fundraising events throughout the school year to get the members involved with the Lubbock community.
Our chapter is continuing to forge ahead. We are still recruiting members of ALL majors, who will be immensely valuable to the organization, especially as we tackle our next big hurdles – earning support from Texas Tech and increasing funding. The continued support from many students and faculty will ensure the success of this endeavor and its projects.
