Write a 500 word essay (Times New Roman, font size 12) that describes how the engineering discipline you plan to pursue (or if you don't know, select one you think you might be interested in) can help solve one of the engineering grand challenges. This homework should be done individually. You must read the document on "Engineering Grand Challenges" before you can start your essay. What I would do (because it's such a long document) is speed read through the sections that do not apply to your response, but really read, in-depth, the section that applies to how your engineering discipline can help solve this challenge.
