The challenge for every engineer is to change the world for the better. It is because of this core mission that some of our greatest technological accomplishments were created from the fertile minds of engineers: cars, planes, medical devices, cell phones, toys, just about everything that touches our daily lives.
The University of Utah John and Marcia Price College of Engineering Grand Challenge Scholars Program (GCSP), endorsed by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), is an education model to prepare our engineering students to be the world’s new innovators.
While participating in this program, students will build a portfolio throughout their undergraduate experience in any of 14 areas, known as the Grand Challenges established by the NAE for the 21st Century. These are all areas bound by social issues that require innovative technology to solve our most pressing global problems.
