CWRU Humanitarian Design Corps
Costa Rica Project
|
Case Western Reserve University's chapter of Engineers Without Borders/ Humanitarian Design Corps, is currently seeking technical advisers for its student team working in the Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. The project is based in a small community of 250 people. Most pressing issues concern the community's 2-kilometer pipeline running from its well to the storage tank. Water quality issues are also present. The team has traveled twice in the last two years (Assessment Trip in January 2017 and Implementation Trip in March 2018) and is looking to return to Costa Rica in January 2019. In March of 2018, the student team replaced 1.8 kilometers of pipe; the focus for the upcoming trip will be resolving residual issues with the pipeline as well as monitoring leaks water consumption within the system. We welcome advisers from all engineering backgrounds, especially those with skills in:
- Underground pipeline design
- Stormwater management
- Water monitoring
- Bore well design and construction
- General construction
- GIS
Come join a highly motivated, interdisciplinary, and, most importantly, fun team of students who are passionate about humanitarian work and international development. If the Costa Rica Project does not sound of interest, the chapter has ongoing projects in the Philippines, Dominican Republic, and Malawi that could also use additional advisers. Please don't hesitate to contact the below people for more information.

Adjunct Water Resources Professor Position
University of Mount Union
|
The University of Mount Union is looking to hire an adjunct professor for the winter term to teach a junior level water resources engineering course in our civil engineering program. The course covers hydraulics, hydrology, and open channel flow topics using 4 credit hours of lecture and 2 credit hours of lab time per week. The successful candidate needs to hold a MS degree in Civil Engineering or a closely related field. Compensation for this six-credit hour course (4+2) would be $5,100.
There will be 6 students participating in the class.

This could be you!
Currently, we provide four scholarships to two local universities, Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and Cleveland State University (CSU). In April of 2018, we awarded four civil engineering student members from CSU and CWRU four $750 scholarships at the Geotechnical Institute Event. Our goal is to increase these scholarships to $1,000 in 2019, at which point they will be indexed to the cost of tuition, increasing in $250 increments to keep pace. The Scholarship Committee’s ultimate goal is to raise enough money for an endowment so the fund is self-sustaining.
