探索知识的边界
GCSP学生选修文科的共同课程 & Sciences and Engineering to develop collegial partnerships and foundational skills in these 美国国家工程院-recognized compe tencies:
人才能力 – mentored research/creative experience on a Grand Challenge-like topic.
多学科能力 ——理解 multidisciplinarity of engineering systems solutions developed through personal engagement.
创业能力 ——理解, 有经验者优先, of the necessity of a viable business model for solution implementation.
多元文化的能力 -了解不同的文化, 最好有多元文化的经历, to ensure cultural acceptance of proposed engineering solutions.
社会意识 ——理解 that the engineering solutions should primarily serve people and society reflecting social consciousness.
These partnerships and skills culminate in an advanced research project focused upon a field recognized by the 美国国家工程院 as a Grand Challenge for humanity in the 21st Century.
挑战
推进个性化学习
A growing appreciation of individual preferences and aptitudes has led toward more “personalized learning,” in which instruction is tailored to a student’s individual needs. Given the diversity of individual preferences, 以及每个人脑的复杂性, developing teaching methods that optimize learning will require engineering solutions of the future.
节约太阳能
目前, solar energy provides less than 1 percent of the world's total energy, 但它有潜力提供很多东西, 更.
增强虚拟现实
在许多专业领域, 从精神病学到教育, virtual reality is becoming a powerful new tool for training practitioners and treating patients, in addition to its growing use in various forms of entertainment.
对大脑进行逆向工程
A lot of research has been focused on creating thinking machines—computers capable of emulating human intelligence— however, reverse-engineering the brain could have multiple impacts that go far beyond artificial intelligence and will promise great advances in health care, 制造业, 和沟通.
设计更好的药物
Engineering can enable the development of new systems to use genetic information, 感受身体的微小变化, 评估新药, and deliver vaccines to provide health care directly tailored to each person.
推进健康信息学
As computers have become available for all aspects of human endeavors, there is now a consensus that a systematic approach to health informatics - the acquisition, 管理, and use of information in health - can greatly enhance the quality and efficiency of medical care and the response to widespread public health emergencies.
恢复和改善城市基础设施
Infrastructure is the combination of fundamental systems that support a community, 地区, 或国家. Society faces the formidable challenge of modernizing the fundamental structures that will support our civilization in centuries ahead.
网络空间安全
Computer systems are involved in the 管理 of almost all areas of our lives; from electronic communications, 数据系统, to controlling traffic lights to routing airplanes. It is clear that engineering needs to develop innovations for addressing a long list of cybersecurity priorities.
提供清洁用水
The world's water supplies are facing new threats; affordable, advanced technologies could make a difference for millions of people around the world.
通过核聚变提供能量
A growing appreciation of individual preferences and aptitudes has led toward more “personalized learning,” in which instruction is tailored to a student’s individual needs. Given the diversity of individual preferences, 以及每个人脑的复杂性, developing teaching methods that optimize learning will require engineering solutions of the future.
防止核恐怖
The need for technologies to prevent and respond to a nuclear attack is growing
管理氮循环
Engineers can help restore balance to the nitrogen cycle with better fertilization technologies and by capturing and recycling waste.
发展固碳方法
Engineers are working on ways to capture and store excess carbon dioxide to prevent global warming.
设计科学发现的工具
在未来的世纪里, engineers will continue to be partners with scientists in the great quest for understanding many unanswered questions of nature.
