The grand challenges include, but are not limited to, the 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering (articulated by the National Academy of Engineering), the 14 Grand Challenges for Global Health (articulated by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation), and Engineering World Health: Projects That Matter. The program provides engineering undergraduates with opportunities to engage in multidisciplinary team projects addressing elements of some of the most important engineering challenges. Since fall 2012, more than 680 students have participated in the AggiE_Challenge program.
[https://engineering.tamu.edu/programs/gcsp <u>The Grand Challenges Scholars Program</u>] (GCSP) is a selective, three-year program that will attract, retain, and graduate future leaders who are equipped to solve engineering grand challenges facing our society today and in the future. The Grand Challenge Scholar (GCS) will achieve in-depth understanding of their technical areas in the context of research related to a Grand Challenge problem while also gaining interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial, global, and service learning expertise and experiences. Grand Challenge Scholars will be prepared to be global leaders, in all sectors: academe, government, and industry. The program assists proactive and dedicated students to hone their academic aptitude into producing solutions to modern engineering problems.
