Engineers for a Sustainable World at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute - (518) 504-0379

Engineers for a Sustainable World at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute brings together the RPI community to improve both the quality of life and the condition of our planet. Spring 2013 General Body Meetings are 6-7pm every other Monday in Union 3202.

----------History----------
ESW-RPI was founded May 2005 and officially recognized by both ESW National and the Rensselaer Union that fall. In its first four semesters, the members of ESW-RPI engaged in a flurry of activity, including hosting a workshop on the benefits of biodiesel, designing a sustainable water pumping and filtration system for the Nigerian village of Umuluwe, facilitating Earth Day activities on campus and collaborating with EcoLogic on numerous projects related to environmental issues on campus. By fall of 2007, 61 students and 2 faculty/staff members were affiliated with ESW-RPI, and the club was also recognized as a “developing” chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Since then, ESW-RPI completed several projects, including a milk pasteurization system in Langui, Peru, a solar powered computing classroom in Lascahobas, Haiti, and a shipping-container medical ward in Rantlamouaie, Haiti.

----------Our Vision----------
We envision a world in which engineering fosters environmental, social, and economic sustainability to improve both the quality of life and the condition of our planet. As a chapter of a growing international organization, we envision a world of environmental, social, and economic prosperity created and sustained by local and global collective action.

----------Our Values----------
People, diversity, integrity, partnerships, practical action, humility and respect
