EIA stands for Engineers in Action, and McGill EIA is a student chapter of the EIA Bridge Program which designs, funds, and builds pedestrians footbridges in remote communities. The McGill chapter was started in 2018 by then student Leïlah Sory.

We offer students hands on experience. And a once in a life time experience to help people in remote communities. With each footbridge we build, we are building a brighter future for countless communities - one step at a time.

Any undergraduate student at McGill University is welcomed to join regardless of majors. However, MEIA falls under the purview of McGill EUS.
