Perspectives on Grand Challenges for Engineering

Solving problems on a global scale

The FSE 150 Perspective of Grand Challenges on Engineering course is a required course for one of the interdisciplinary components of the Grand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP). This course will increase students’ awareness of the social complexities of meeting the needs of local and global challenges through engineering and technology. Students will also learn more about the Grand Challenge Scholars program, begin their path towards making a Grand Challenge area their life’s passion, and will start creating a plan to complete the program components during their undergraduate studies.

Plans of study

Students enrolled in this course have created a preliminary plan of study for completing the five components (research, interdisciplinary, entrepreneurship, global, and service learning) of the Grand Challenges Scholars Program during their undergraduate career.
