Current Project
Engineers With a Mission members are currently working in partnership with II4T, an innovative organization and thought leader in the STEM ecosystem, to design and implement robotics education program for local and international students. Utilizing the advanced VEX Robotics ecosystem, EWM members will work to create a robotics program for LIFE international, based in Madrid Spain, for the newly developing education environment.A new and challenging standard for EWM will push each member to gain a deeper understanding of not only practical robotics engineering, but also the vital communication skills necessary to develop a fruitful and long lasting education program. Current students, age groups ranging from elementary through who are awaiting the new program will be immersed in software and hardware engineering problems that will push them further in the application of their classroom knowledge.Join us as we explore the future of robotics education on a local and international stage!

Projects
Welcome to our project showcase! The following endeavors have been thoughtfully selected by our students, guided by our dedicated advisor, all aligning with our club's mission: 'To be the hands and feet of Christ by helping communities around the world develop the ability to sustainably maintain their basic human needs.' Explore how our engineering initiatives are making a positive impact on communities and embodying the essence of our mission.
LIFE International Robotics Program
EWM students will be undertaking the creation of small-scale educational robotics projects. The primary objective is to collaborate with LIFE International School in Spain, imparting knowledge on engineering methods, robotics, and fostering hands-on collaboration. Through this initiative, students aim to provide practical educational experiences, promoting the understanding and application of engineering principles in a real-world context.
Envision Cleveland Aquaponics
EWM members designed, constructed, and implemented an aquaponics system for a Cleveland community garden. Designed to be entirely off the grid and self-sustaining, this system utilizes the ecosystem interaction between aquatic life and the filtration of plant life to maintain the garden’s growth. Powered by an array of solar panels, this system is entirely green.
Grove City Community Garden
EWM members designed and implemented a gravity-based drip water irrigation system for Grove City Middle School. This sustainable system collects rainwater, distributing it to four grow beds supplying fresh produce to the community. Additionally, EWM is building compost systems that gather compost from the community and college cafeterias, enriching Grove City Middle School's community garden with nutrient-rich compost.
TakaTaka Plastics Washer
EWM members collaborated with Takataka Plastics in Uganda to develop a cost-effective washing machine for recycling plastic materials. Recognizing the inefficiency of hand washing, the main goal was to create a simple, low-cost machine for washing shredded plastics. This initiative aimed to address impurities in recycled plastics, such as oils and dirt. Through design, construction, and testing, EWM aimed to improve efficiency, cut labor costs, and contribute to a more sustainable plastic recycling process, targeting a washing rate of 30-340kg/hr.
Our Story
Engineers with a Mission was founded by students at Grove City College in 2020. Our goal is simple yet powerful: to utilize the technical skills of our members for meaningful service projects. Whether it's designing innovative solutions, implementing sustainable technologies, or collaborating on community-driven projects, we're committed to applying our technical expertise to address pressing societal needs
