Engineering Chalenges

Engineers always had a lot of effects in our lifestyle. I am actually in the stage that I should pick a project for my PhD experiments and so I was looking at available problems. In my search I visited a website about engineering challenges of this century. You can actually go there and vote for the most challenging one. Here is the list of problems:

Make solar energy affordable

Provide energy from fusion

Develop carbon sequestration methods

Manage the nitrogen cycle

Provide access to clean water

Restore and improve urban infrastructure

Advance health informatics

Engineer better medicines

Reverse-engineer the brain

Prevent nuclear terror

Secure cyberspace

Enhance virtual reality

Advance personalized learning

Engineer the tools for scientific discovery


You want to know my vote? That is "Make solar energy affordable".
