The University of Southern California is holding the Second National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges Summit from October 6-8, 2010
What's holding game-changing technology back? What's pushing it forward? Watch the webcast! The National Academy of Engineering has identified 14 high-potential areas where engineering could make big improvements in human health, security and happiness. Five blue-ribbon panels, all including scientists, businessmen, educators, technologists, and communicators, will meet at the University of Southern California Thursday and Friday under the eyes of NAE President Charles 'Chuck' Vest to talk about how much progress is being made, what's working, and what doesn't seem to be. Problems with education are one factor: not enough bright young people are going into science and engineering. Public policy is another question mark. New strategies and incentives are bright spots. The panels will delve into these and other issues – live, on the web. Listen!
