Grand Challenges For Engineering
In the last century alone, many great engineering achievements became so commonplace that we now take them mostly for granted. As remarkable as these engineering achievements are, certainly just as many more great challenges and opportunities remain to be realized. While some seem clear, many others are indistinct and many more surely lie beyond most of our imaginations.Visit the Grand Challenges Website (Source: The Sounds of Science from the National Academies)
