Engineers Without Borders

Student projects

Ingeniører Uden Grænser samarbejder gerne med studerende omkring studieprojekter. I samarbejde med Syddansk Universitet har vi udarbejdet en række opgavebeskrivelser, der tager udgangspunkt i faktiske problemstillinger i Sierra Leone.

For students

Projects

Engineers Without Borders likes to collaborate with students on study projects, but as we are a volunteer-run organization, we have limited capacity and resources to advise and guide in projects. In collaboration with the University of Southern Denmark, we have prepared a number of task descriptions based on actual issues in Sierra Leone.

With the large volume of inquiries, we cannot make our partner’s time available, as all their time is spent carrying out relevant development projects that can benefit the most vulnerable people.

Using the projects

The task descriptions are for free use, but we expect you to inform us if you work with the material and send us the completed tasks, where selected tasks will be posted here on the page. For inquiries about study projects, write to us at info@iug.dk
