This article elaborates about E4C’s website, www.engineeringforchange.org, which seeks to connect engineers and humanitarian organizations to create smart, sustainable development projects. Its focus includes projects on water, energy, health, infrastructure, agriculture, sanitation, and information technology. Its purpose is to serve the underserved populations of the world. The website makes it easy for engineers to volunteer their time and skills, and for humanitarian groups to find the engineering help they need. The site will also help them discover what others have done, so each new project does not have to reinvent past innovations—or repeat mistakes. E4C is an initiative of ASME and two founding partners, IEEE and Engineers Without Borders–USA. The site is divided into seven areas of interest: water, energy, health, structures, agriculture, sanitation, and information systems.
