And the 14 Challenges go to...

Posted on Sunday, February 17, 2008

The Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st Century. These challenges have been announced Friday February 15th by a Committee including names like Kurzweil, Page, and Venter.

Cyberspace on the other hand gets its own Challenge to 'Enhance Virtual Reality'.
