Technology Development

we take great new ideas and develop them into life changing technology for the hardest to reach.

Technology Programs

We work with some of the most creative minds in engineering and combine that with a passion for human centered design, to develop smart appropriate technology so everyone can lead safer, healthier lives free from poverty.

Our dedicated innovation pipeline fosters new solutions for safe sanitation, water, energy, and shelter, and puts the needs of the community first. From student ideation through EWB Challenge and EWB Design Summits, to further investigation and testing with EWB Research, and EWB Field Placements, we take great new ideas and develop them into life changing technology for the hardest to reach.

Meet our Futur-neers: Eve Visser

Meet our Futur-neers: Eve Visser

As a high school student, Eve Visser was told by a career advisor that she shouldn’t consider university. However, Eve was determined not to let this dissuade her. She took it as added motivation, going on to receive a scholarship to study at the Australian National University (ANU). Currently in her third year studying Engineering and Science with a major in Climate Science, Eve is passionate about sharing her experiences and knowledge with prospective students. This interest in outreach inspired her to start volunteering with EWB’s ACT Chapter, running workshops to encourage students to pursue a path in engineering.

Inspiring the next generation of technology stewards with Bentley Systems

Inspiring the next generation of technology stewards with Bentley Systems

An annual STEM outreach event that explores and showcases the opportunities possible in STEM careers brought 60 high-school students from three schools across Victoria together for a series of design challenges in November, 2022. The outreach program known as the Innovation Challenge has been run in Victoria by the EWB Australia University of Melbourne Chapter since 2019. The program engages Year 9 and 10 students, primarily from backgrounds under-represented in STEM, in an in-depth, hands-on socio-technical design challenge.

Northern Rivers floods engineering response paves way for future emergency support

Northern Rivers floods engineering response paves way for future emergency support

A year after the floods that devastated communities in the Northern Rivers region, Engineers Without Borders Australia (EWB) and local community partner Holding Hands Under Ground (HHUG) have been coordinating volunteers to respond to community needs. In doing so, EWB has been piloting a recovery response model that can be mobilised across other regions during future climate disasters, to support low-income and marginalised communities.

Regioneering on the road again

Regioneering on the road again

From Busselton on the southwest edge of Australia to the Torres Strait Islands in the far north, EWB Australia’s Regioneering program sprung well and truly back into action in 2022.Through week-long road trips, Regioneering inspires students in regional and remote areas, a cohort that often misses out on STEM outreach initiatives, to engage with STEM and consider the possibilities of a career in engineering. For many EWB Australia Chapters, these trips have been on hold over the past few years due to pandemic-related restrictions. With road trips and incursions possible again across the country, EWB Australia’s Regioneers have enthusiastically returned.

Meet our Futur-neers: Erin Hughes

Meet our Futur-neers: Erin Hughes

Growing up on a boat in the Torres Strait until she was 14, water was an integral part of Erin Hughes’ childhood. Today, it’s the focus of her work as an engineer. After completing a Chemical Engineering degree at the University of Queensland, Erin is now a Surface Water Engineer at Hydrology and Risk Consulting in Victoria. She works in flood engineering and hydrology, working with emergency services to manage flood risks and providing technical input to dam operators across Australia.

Meet our Futur-neers: Hannah Jury

It’s not all calculations and writing reports when you’re an engineer. Sometimes you’re abseiling from some of the tallest buildings in Melbourne’s CBD. Or at least that’s what a ‘day in the office’ can look like for façade engineer, Hannah Jury.
