1 GRAND CHALLENGES SCHOLARS PROGRAM: MOTIVATION, VISION AND THE GROWTH OF A MOVEMENT Yannis C. Yortsos Dean GCSP MEETING, BANGALORE, INDIA December 14, 2017
2 This is the most exciting era for Science and Engineering in Human History Chuck Vest, late NAE President NAE Grand Challenges Summit, USC October 6-8, 2010 GCSP MEETING, BANGALORE, INDIA December 14, 2017
3 THE NAE GRAND CHALLENGES (2008) Make Solar Energy Economical Provide Energy from Fusion Develop Carbon Sequestration Methods Manage the Nitrogen Cycle Provide Access to Clean Water sustainability Engineer Better Medicines Advance Health Informatics Reverse Engineer the Brain health Secure Cyberspace security Prevent Nuclear Terror Restore and Improve Urban Infrastructure Enhance Virtual Reality Advance Personalized Learning Engineer the Tools of Scientific Discovery enriching life GCSP Meeting, Bangalore, India December 14, 2017
4 Engineering as the Empowering Discipline
5 EXPONENTIAL TECHNOLOGY BRINGS DISRUPTION- REQUIRES AGILITY AND ADAPTABILITY AND NEW MINDSETS Exponential changes- No steady states No steady states in growth Growth Mindset Fixed Mindset
6 Must Add Mindsets to Knowledge and Skills (e.g. The NAE Grand Challenges Scholars Program) Mindsets, e.g. Growth Mindset. To Here. From Here Knowledge Skills Modified From Ortiz et al.
7 Ethical Decision Making
8 Convergence Technology now allows us to address Grand Challengeslike problems (e.g. the NAE Grand Challenges) Convergence of sciences and disciplines (including Social, Behavioral and Economic) Engineering + X where X is everything! (What if X is human-centric?) Powerful technology brings equally powerful unintended consequences Engineering education must reflect this change Participation in engineering must change: women, demographics
9 VISION: ENGINEERING+ Engineering is the empowering discipline of our times Engineers solve grand challenges and create opportunities Engineering education must reflect this change Participation in engineering must change: women, demographics GCSP MEETING, BANGALORE, INDIA December 14, 2017
10 NAE GRAND CHALLENGES SCHOLARS PROGRAM Conceived in 2009 (USC, Duke, Olin): Adopted by > 80 schools nationwide: Supported by the NAE Likely to be the engineering education of the future Consistent with WEF report on added skills for the 21 st century: Creativity, Leadership, Perseverance Consistent with the Engineer of 2020 CULTIVATES FIVE MINDSETS 1. Research/creative 2. Multidisciplinary 3. Entrepreneurial 4. Cultural 5. Society conscious
11 NAE GCSP MINDSETS 1. Research/creative/experiential learning Mentored research or project experience related to a Grand Challenge to enhance technical competence 2. Multidisciplinary Understanding gained through experience of the multidisciplinary character of Grand Challenge solutions 3. Business/Entrepreneurship Understanding gained through experience that viable business models are necessary 4. Multicultural Understanding gained through experience that serious consideration of cultural issues is mandatory (global or local) 5. Social consciousness Deepen social consciousness and motivation to address societal problems, often gained through service learning
