Engineers in Action
Engineers in Action (formerly known as Bridges to Prosperity) at Virginia Tech is a student led service organization that seeks to empower developing communities through the design and construction of footbridges. It helps in advancing community public works, economic prosperity, and community access to schools, medicine, jobs, and markets. Engineers in Action seeks to advance the lives of each student involved by providing an opportunity to broaden cultural perspectives. Moreover, students gain hands-on professional experience by using their own education to serve others who are less fortunate.
