Engineers Without Borders, Rose-Hulman Chapter

Project Obodan

This summer a team of seven students and one faculty member traveled to Obodan, Ghana in order to implement the projects the club spent more than a year engineering. While in country, the delegation was able to present an improved business plan for the Brooder House built in 2006 as well as complete a Training Center. For more information, be sure to check out the Obodan 2008 Project page.

Project Dominican Republic

Our club recently voted to adopt a new project following our successes in Ghana. Many options were considered, but ultimately a project in the Batay Cojobal, Dominican Republic was finally chosen. The village has requested that EWB-RHIT design and assists in the construction of an expansion to a mobile medical clinic. Currently, the clinic does not have access to consistent electricity or water, and does not have adequate facilities to handle the large capacity of visitors. EWB-RHIT will fill this need by designing a safe addition to the current clinic.  For more information, be sure to check out the Dominican Republic 2009 Project page.

Next Meeting

EWB-RHIT meets every Wednesday at 7:15pm in O157. Everyone is welcome to attend. Our next meeting will be on September 30, 2009. For more information, contact Adam Kirchner.
