ABOUT
HEC-MSOE is a student-led group at MSOE whose mission is to build a better world through engineering projects that empower communities to meet their basic human needs. HEC's student volunteers work with ISF-Guatemala to find appropriate solutions for local community needs. With the assistance of professional engineers, HEC-MSOE students partner with ISF-Guatemala in the municipality of Joyabaj, Guatemala, to design and implement their engineering projects. Examples of past projects include schools, water systems, and vehicle and pedestrian bridges that ensure the rural communities will not be cut off from education, healthcare, and economic development. The majority of each year is spent assessing, designing, planning, and fundraising to support at least one implementation trip generally in the spring.
