The [http://www.nae.edu/ ~~~~NAE~~~~] Grand ~~Challenge~~ Challenges Scholars program is a combined program with five components that are designed to create and inspire our next generation of engineers to face a lifetime of problem solving. 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 that students who complete the program successfully will receive a distinction of Grand Challenge Scholar endorsed by their institution and the National Academy of Engineering. 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.

The NAE Committee on Engineering's Grand Challenges has identified 14 areas awaiting engineering solutions in the 21st century:

#Engineer the tools of scientific discovery

~~~~~~Follow this ~~A [http://www.engineeringchallenges.org/cms/8996.aspx ~~link] to watch a~~ 6 -minute video ~~discussing~~ ] discusses the different aspects of the 14 areas in need of engineering solutions. Finding solutions to the Grand Challenges will positively effect life socially and economically. By creating a [http://www.e4uvideocontest.org/ 1 - 2 minute video] that shows how engineering serves the need of society, you can be entered to win $25,000.
