Engineers for Social Impact

"Being there with the people who will live in the house gave us a sense that our work is really important."

NYU Abu Dhabi is preparing students to thrive in our ever-changing world and give back to local communities through Global Education and the Engineers for Social Impact program.

Students travel to countries such as Sri Lanka, Thailand, and India to help design and build infrastructure that improves quality of life for local populations.

In this video, students help build a sustainable home for a family in Jordan, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity.
