Our mission
EWH at UCI is an interdisciplinary campus organization with health care projects that unite engineering, science, economics, public health, communications, and other fields. Through our projects and activities, we give student members experience in basic engineering skills (like soldering), product design and development, market research, and other skills to prepare them for their future careers. Our mission is to mobilize the UCI community to improve the quality of health care in vulnerable communities. If you would like to participate in EWH at UCI, please refer to our committees and get involved!
