There are global challenges that engineers face in society from ways to lessen our dependence to oil and protect the environment to ways to improve our surroundings and expand our reality and minds. A lot of these challenges will need engineers with vision and passion in order to come up with the solutions needed to improve the world around them. The three global challenges that will be covered in this paper are ways to lessen fuel consumption, how to restore and improve urban infrastructure and how to enhance virtual reality. These three global challenges reach into every part of the world and in every facet of society, which is why engineers are working on them now.
The role of engineers in society today can be seen everywhere in your daily lives, when you put gas in your car, the chemical engineer designed the fuel to run in an engine that was designed by an engineer that is in a car frame designed by another engineer. Today, engineers to grow more crops faster and to last longer on the grocery shelves after they have been picked modify even food. The roles of engineers have changed a bit for the times and society wants things designed to be greener and more environmentally friendly, to make the most of what resources the earth has, but also keep society comfortable and easy to use. These global challenges are met head on by engineers because these problems will face society in the next ten years and even beyond. The three global challenges that will be covered in this paper are ways to lessen fuel consumption, how to restore and improve urban infrastructure and how to enhance virtual reality. These three global challenges reach into every part of the world and in every facet of society, which is why engineers are working on them now.
The first global challenge for engineers is to lessen fuel consumption, or more specific oil consumption. Oil is used to produce gas for cars, trucks, farming machines, airplanes and almost
