Within these 14 areas, the GCSP developed a combined, co-, and extra-curricular program that is intended to prepare the next generation of students to address the challenges within society. The GCSP is an outcomes-based program that is designed to inspire a movement within the participant's local ecosystem. The goal is to pilot innovative educational approaches for engineering students and encourage students to engage with a diverse group of their peers from across the globe to solve the challenges that are crucial for the survival of generations to come.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:smallThe 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. &nbsp;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,genevaNot only will this program teach engineering students the skills necessary to solve problems,sansbut 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-serif12 that will equip students to become engineers.&nbsp;">Universtiy of Southern California, Viterbi School of Engineering</span></span>
