What is EWB in general? It's simple Engineers Without Borders :)

EWB in General

When I got hired as an Advocacy VP of Engineers Without Borders-Ryerson Chapter, I had no idea of what it was, and yet, I had a feeling that I would learn about it on the way. And yes I did. I did learn a lot about it. However, even after being part of it for so long, I have a long way to go through to understand it. 

EWB, in general, is a not-for-profit organization that relates engineering, in general, with international development. It exists not only in Canada, but at least 30 other nations. While EWB in most countries work collaboratively as EWB-International, according to an article in Wikipedia, EWB Canada, EWB Spain, EWB Luxembourg, EWB UK, EWB Australia, EWB New Zealand and EWB Ireland work as separate organizations, but for the same mission, i.e. to assist the helpless communities through engineering solutions. While in some nations, EWB is linked with professional engineering, the majority of them are strongly linked with post-secondary and graduate students. And that's what we do in Canada as well.

 Next time, I'll introduce you to EWB Canada in General...

Sit tight!!! A lot more good stuffs on the way...

MemBer LearnIng IntroDuction...

"Once you have all the power, what will you do?"

As students, the power we obtain is called "the POWER OF KNOWLEDGE" or "the POWER OF LEARNING". During this process, we learn, we teach, do mistakes, and again, learn, and teach... And what not all of us do is, use them in our daily life. For sure, we have learnt a lot during high school and all the other levels before that. For those who are on their second or upper years in the university, we have gone through the similar process at Ryerson. But, have all of us actually applied our knowledge entirely to a full extent. I confess, I haven't. Not yet. No particular reasons, but I still have to. But what I know is that, we have to apply everything we learn, slowly and carefully.

Political Advocacy is one major sector of learning within Engineers Without Borders. I won't say how or why, or I won't even discuss what's Political Advocacy, and what does it mean at Ryerson in this blog, but just inform that, this blog link will be the place of member learning, particularly for Political Advocacy. I commit to post at least one post per week, and I'll try to keep them as short as possible. If you have any interesting topic for me to discuss on, please email me at advocacy.ewb.ryerson@gmail.com. 

GO GO EWB!!!
