= History of the Program =
In an effort to shift the paradigm of engineering education, Duke's Pratt School of Engineering, The Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, and the University of Southern California's Viterbie School of Engineering developed the Grand Challenges concept. In 2009 the NAE began endorsing the program, allowing it to grow internationall as it has today.
In addition to endorsement by the NAE, former President Barack Obama was presented with a letter of commitment to grow the program to include 122 engineering schools internationally. At this time, GCSP has been implemented in over 40 universities worldwide.
