INTRODUCTION "Engineers like to solve problem. If they have no problem handily available, they will create their own problem" We now live in technological era where we get everything merely by switching the electronic device. Now we have reached even the planet sun. Anything and everything is engineered to make human lives more easy and comfortable. Now we can do virtually everything online. Through technology we can spread education, we can track the minuscule movement through a remote sensing satellite, we can even save precious human lives by genetically engineering. Life is so easy now a days but wait, wait , wait isn't there any engineering challenge in this knowledge era. Yes there are plethora of challenges which modern engineering is facing. Some of the most challenging are:
CHANGING OF ERA
IMPACT ON ECOSYSTEM
The biggest challenge engineers are facing now is the impact of science on the ecosystem.
Now the engineers have the biggest challenge to develop clean and green energy through cutting edge technology and cost reduction.
EXISTENCE OF HUMAN RACE
Nuclear energy may be one of the greatest discoveries of engineers but wait , it could decimate the whole human race merely by few tons of uranium loaded shell. We could not tolerate a chemical weapon in a civil war like Syria.
ENERY CONSUMPTION
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT This high frequency word is also a major challenge for the engineers .They have to invent certain technology which will efficiently utilize the resources without compromising the future needs. Resource reduction through subtle technology must be accentuated so that our future generation will live more comfortably.
ELIMINATION OF DISEASES Though this heading may be placed under the medical science but genetically and bio medical engineering also have a major role to play in saving the human lives.
ACESS OF TECHNOLOGY TO EVERYONE
Though science grew leaps and bounds everyone is not reaping the benefits. A child living in slum isn't able to use Internet because of high cost like wise people living in remote villages of African countries are not getting the benefits of advancement of medical science, they are still dying of trivial and small diseases .Engineers have the greatest challenge to make it affordable and accessible to everyone.
HAPPY ENGINEER’S DAY
