EWB

This project is sponsored by United Technologies Pratt and Whitney every year. EBW-UConn students will continue to travel to India annually to participate in various humanitarian activities.

Background

Our goal is to give the students the best possible opportunity to succeed after going through school. In particular, Hyderabad is a hub for technological research and production within India, so it is important to educate the students in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. To this end and with the generous financial support of United Technologies Research Center (UTRC), we have partnered with Pratt & Whitney and EWB-India and have successfully installed ten e-learning centers to provide access to the technology that the students will need to learn and updating the curriculum to include a greater focus on STEM fields.
