Engineers In Action – University of Toronto Student Chapter (EIA – U of T) St George

The Engineers in Action University of Toronto Student Chapter, formerly the Bridges to Prosperity University of Toronto Chapter, is a group of students dedicated to raising awareness and making a positive impact on student and global life. On campus, we work to enrich student life through educational events and speaker series, allowing students to apply their education in meaningful ways. This includes events such as bridge design workshops, AutoCAD and construction skills workshops, as well as guest lectures from professional engineers and UofT alumni. Globally, we help bridge the gap of isolation in developing communities around the world through the design and construction of footbridges for communities facing impassable obstacles. We provide the infrastructure that enables isolated communities to access health care, education, and economic opportunities. So far, our chapter has completed footbridge projects in Guatemala, Bolivia, Peru, and Eswatini. Additionally, we also have undertaken our first WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) project this past year, design and building a water filtration system in Eswatini.
