Wind Empowerment is an association of organisations that are using home built wind turbines for rural electrification projects in developing countries all around the world.

They want EWB-Warwick to get involved through Outreach programs and have suggested putting together a group to fundraise and then travel to a Wind Empowerment member organisation abroad to build and/or install a wind turbine for a rural electrification project.

Over the Summer 7 students from the University of Warwick designed and built a micro-hydro scheme to provide electricity to over 100 households in a remote village in Uganda.

EWB kicks off the year with a massive first workshop event this Saturday 8th Oct. Come along to construct a Geo-Dome structure and batteries from aluminium cans. We will also be taking a trip the EWB wind turbine. Afterwards we will be heading to the Terrace bar for a drink and a chance to meet your Exec and other members.

Meet 2pm at the piazza.

See you there!

A very warm welcome from all of us here at Warwick Engineers, both to those freshers just joining the department and returning students. We've got loads planned for this year, so now is the perfect time to join us!

Engineers Without Borders are going to EWB-Birmingham’s National Training Weekend! The trip runs from the evening of Friday 17th June through to Sunday Afternoon (19th June) and features workshops & presentations on energy services and technology in development. Including speakers from Practical Action, Household Energy Network and an improved cook stove design and build workshop.
For more information and to buy your ticket please see:

The cost of the trip is £16 which includes accommodation in Birmingham Central Backpackers and breakfast. We will be meeting to get the train together on the Friday afternoon so once you’ve bought your say you’re attending on the facebook event (http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=132037363538312) so we can see how many people are coming and can let you know meeting arrangements.

After the long drive to mid wales, near the town of Machynlleth, EWB-Warwick arrived at the hilly region of the Dyfi Valley, location of the Centre for Alternative Technology. The eco centre focuses on the education and presentation of practical solutions to sustainability problems.

Hey all, the Engineering Society will be in the new common room at 6pm on Thursday evening so that first years can chat with second years about their module choices for next year. This is an opportunity that as a second year I really wished I'd had, so hopefully it'll be a great opportunity!

On a related note we still need representatives from languages so if any 2nd years who did languages as an option this year are free, we'd appreciate you coming and helping out!

The evening should last an hour or so, so feel free to pop in any time between 6pm and 7pm!
