Grand Challenge Scholars Program

DUE February 1

The CEAT Grand Challenge Scholars Program (GCSP) is a combined curricular and extra-curricular program with five key components: research, interdisciplinary

curriculum, entrepreneurship, global understanding and service learning. The program is designed to prepare students to be the generation that solves the grand challenges facing society in this century. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) identified 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering and similarly the UN established sustainability goals. Our GCSP program has scholars choose a focus area from one of the NAE or UN goals and expand their education through research efforts, scholarly publications and enhanced leadership training.
