Engineers have always been working to solve problems and make life better for everyone.

Grand Challenges for Engineering

This program is aimed at inspiring young engineers across the globe to address the biggest challenges facing humanity in the 21st Century. From the need to develop affordable clean energy solutions and increase access to renewable environmental resources, to facing new challenges in health care, these challenges potentially impact on the quality of all our lives. These global grand challenges are huge in scope and address the biggest current concerns of all the world’s citizens.

These Grand Challenges fall into four cross-cutting themes: Sustainability, Health, Security, and Joy of Living.

QL which of these challenges is most interesting to you? Do you understand the problems associated with the challenge? Do some research to learn more. Then can you suggest some engineering solutions to your problem?
