At Engineers Without Borders Australia, our purpose is to harness the potential of engineering to create an equitable reality for the planet and its people. Our Vision: a world where technology benefits all. We define technology as any means that humans use to adapt the environment. The outcomes that result from the introduction of technology will always have direct and indirect impacts, on people and the environment. In addition, the process of design and development of technology will have another set of direct and indirect impacts on people and the environment. Engineers have a responsibility to act as stewards of technology, and consider the upstream and downstream impacts to ensure that the results bring benefit before, during and after the creation of each intervention, for all. All those that came before us, who put this responsibility in our hands – now and for generations to follow. All living things and the world around us, the land, the air, the waterways and ocean. As such, engineers acting as technology stewards have a moral imperative to design, develop and implement technology with care and consideration for all. Our mission: to redefine the purpose and impact of engineering practice as a critical enabler of sustainable development.
