These challenges range from simple to extreme and must be solved to create a stable and safe life for future generations. It is anticipated that each participating institution will develop its own specific realization of the five components, and students who complete the program successfully will receive a distinction of Grand Challenge Scholar endorsed by their institution and the National Academy of Engineering.</span><br/><br/><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">The Grand Challenge Scholar Program has two levels of organization and thus two levels of assessment are needed to ensure consistency with the core principles set forth by the founding committee.</span></span></span>

== The Five Components Preparing Competencies of Future Engineers ==
<span style="font-size:small"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The five components of the Grand Challenge Scholars Program that will prepare future engineers include:</span><br/><br/><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">1. ''Project or research activity engaging a GC theme or challenge.'' Working to solve the NAE Grand Challenges is the motivation for the GCSP. Each GC scholar must participate in a substantial team or independent project relating to a Grand Challenge theme or specific Grand Challenge problem.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> </span><br/><br/><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">2. ''Interdisciplinary curriculum.'' Bridging engineering to other disciplines is essential for solving the NAE Grand Challenges. An “Engineering-Plus” curriculum should be devised that prepares engineering students to work at the boundary between an engineering and non-engineering discipline, such as public policy, international relations, business, law, ethics, human behavior, risk, medicine and the natural sciences. However, this must be more than simply double majoring or picking up a minor in a non-engineering discipline. Examples that span these disciplines with a coherent theme are Engery and the Environment, Sustainability, Uncertainty and Optimization, etc. </span><br/><br/><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">3. ''Entrepreneurship.'' Implementing innovation is central to technology development. Each GC scholar must participate in a curricular or meta-curricular component on the process of translating invention and innovation into market ventures. This may be either risk-taking ventures for business or introducing technology for not-for-profits that scale global solutions in the public interest. </span><br/><br/><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">4. ''Global dimension.'' Global awareness is necessary for working effectively in an interdependent world. Students may participate in a curricular or meta-curricular component that instills elements necessary to develop innovations in a global economy, or address ethical issues of global concern. Domestic activities that stress global or cross-cultural implications may satisfy this component.</span><br/><br/><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">5. ''Service learning.'' Working for the benefit of others is the foundation of a civil society. Students may participate in a curricular or meta-curricular component that deepens their social awareness and to heighten their motivation to bring their technical expertise to bear on societal problems. Programs such as [[Engineers Without Borders|Engineers Without Borders]], or [[Engineering World Health|Engineering World Health]] may be adapted to satisfy this component.</span></span></span>

The Grand Challenges Scholars Program teaches engineers very important skills in learning how to deal with the biggest problems facing our society. This program is different because it explicitly defines the most relevant problems to our public and allows students across campus to participate. Students are able to collaborate with other engineers that are active in the scholarship program. Not only will this program teach engineering students the skills necessary to solve problems, but it will also raise awareness around the most important worldly challenges and will inspire young engineers to tackle those challenges. The Grand Challenges Scholars Program is also working towards implementing a program for K-12 that will equip students to become engineers.
Randy Atkins, Founder of the 14 Grand Challenges for the National Academy of Engineers says, "This provides students with a vision of what they can do with engineering and how they can change the world."
The Office of Science and Technology Policy is interested in seeing the program across many different campuses across the country. Check out this [http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/05/25/america-s-students-step-challenge article] to see what Washington has to say about the NAE!
