Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st Century
Topic: Technology 11:11 am EST, Feb  9, 2008

Technology allows an abundant supply of food and safe drinking water for much of the world. We rely on electricity for many of our daily activities. We can travel the globe with relative ease, and bring goods and services wherever they are needed.
