Pick the Engineering Challenges - National Academy of Engineering
What needs to be done in manufacturing, medicine and other fields where engineering plays a role? The (US) National Academy of Engineering is soliciting suggestions for "Grand Challenges."
America's big names in engineering, as well as millions of Internet users around the world, are being asked to weigh in with their picks for the greatest technological challenges of the next century — a nine-month process that could give birth to new research initiatives.
The project, called the "Grand Challenges for Engineering" program, is aimed at gathering up all those ideas and distilling them into a list of 20 puzzles for engineers to solve — in fields ranging from energy to communications to aerospace to advanced materials.
