We are excited to announce our first event!

Engineers for Impact is a newly established association of students interested in creating a positive impact in the world through engineering and research. Together, we discover high-impact career paths that we might not have been exposed to during our studies and learn about pressing global problems that might not have received the necessary news coverage.

For our kick-off event, we are hosting a series of short talks from invited speakers on the topic of impact-driven engineering and research.
