Engineers Without Borders Australia invited Arup staff to review and provide feedback on student design work for the 2016 EWB Challenge.

The EWB Challenge is a humanitarian design program embedded in the curriculum of over 7,000 first year university students at 32 universities throughout Australia and New Zealand. Through the EWB Challenge, EWB Australia’s community partner organisations are presented with crowd sourced ideas to address community-identified projects. These ideas are developed by students who have engaged with human centred design and sustainable community development concepts through a real-world context.

The students have been busy this semester! Universities submitted their best student design reports to EWB Australia for review and the chance for students to be selected to present their work at this year’s showcase event.

For the 2016 program, the EWB Challenge partnered with UNHCR Zambia and the community of the Mayukwayukwa Refugee Settlement in the Western Province of Zambia.  The student design ideas produced will be handed back to UNHCR Zambia to support their work.

25 Arup staff reviewed 62 university reports to assist this incredible initiative.

Thank you so much to all our reviewers for putting aside their time and reviewing the student reports.
