EWB-I Missions
「國際無國界工程師」- EWB International 是
一個由不同國家組成的國際協會，以各國的專
業工程師帶領志願義工, 協助各自國家的貧困社
區和受災地區。
其宗旨是藉著促進協作會的會員之間的合作，
信息交流和配置資源，從而達至人道救援的最
終目的。
EWB International - is an association organized
by professional engineers. EWBs leading the
volunteers to provide technical support to
disadvantaged communities and disaster areas.

EWB’s methods
Appropriate Technologies
EWB explores sustainable and appropriate solutions
to encounter problems faced by communities worldwide. Unique
tools (technologies, software, books, etc.) or cutting edge
programs and initiatives are the methods to seek for the solutions.
Appropriate technology for developing communities is usually
characterized as being small scale, energy efficient,
environmentally sound, labor-intensive, and controlled by the
local community. It must be simple enough to be maintained by
the people using it.
Furthermore, facilities must match the user and the need in
complexity and scale. They must be designed to foster selfreliance, cooperation and responsibility. Studies by the World Bank
and the United Nations have shown, appropriate technology is
critical to bringing more than 3 billion people out of poverty.
Vision:
• A world where every individual and
community has adequate access to
the resources, knowledge and
technology necessary to meet their
self-identified human needs
• Envisions a transformed Australia
where appropriate and sustainable
technology is at the forefront of
every engineers mind.

of people from experienced development
practitioners to students. Courses are
offered in a number of areas including
shelter, water and sanitation, alternative
energy and communications.
