Throughout my schooling career, I was always interested in math and science. I specifically like learning how things work and where they come from. That led me to find out about engineering, and it was then that I learned that engineering is used to solve real-world problems with facts and research, these things all led me to choose as my field of choice.

In the engineering field, a common set of problems is well known among scholars, known as the "14 Grand Challenges for Engineering". They include:

1. Progress individual learning

2. Expand the use of solar energy

3. Improve virtual reality

4. Reverse engineer the brain

5. Advancing medicines

6. Improve the efficiency of the medical system

7. Working on Urban infrastructure

8. Further develop cyberspace

9. Having access to clean water

10. Be able to access energy from fusion

11. Control nuclear energy

12. Control the nitrogen cycle

13. Be able to hold carbon dioxide

14. Engineering the tools for scientific discovery

From urban centers to remote corners of Earth, the depths of the oceans to space, humanity has always sought to transcend barriers, overcome challenges, and create opportunities that improve life in our part of the universe. In the last century alone, many GREAT ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENTS became so commonplace that we now take them mostly for granted. Technology allows an abundant supply of food and safe drinking water for much of the world. We rely on electricity for many of our daily activities. We can travel the globe with relative ease, and bring goods and services wherever they are needed. Growing computer and communications technologies are opening up vast stores of knowledge and entertainment. As remarkable as these engineering achievements are, certainly just as many more great challenges and opportunities remain to be realized. While some seem clear, many others are indistinct and many more surely lie beyond most of our imaginations.
With input from people around the world, an international group of leading technological thinkers were asked to identify the Grand Challenges for Engineering in the 21st century. Their 14 game-changing goals for improving life on the planet, announced in 2008, are outlined here. The committee suggested these Grand Challenges fall into four cross-cutting themes: Sustainability, Health, Security, and Joy of Living.

In the academic discipline of engineering, various citation styles are used depending on the specific type of engineering, though the most common ones are IEEE and APA. Even though they both focus on STEM, quotations for IEEE are numbered by the order which the information is presented. While APA does not and includes the author and published date.

Research in the discipline is normally conducted in multiple ways, some of them are:

Project Notebooks- Record and data of the experiment or research done with a reflection.

Laboratory Reports- Overview of the process and the results of an experiment.

Proposals- Request of funding from organizations.

Progress Reports- A business letter that includes a summary of the work done.

Because writing in engineering focuses more on the sharing of information, writing usually follows these conventions, which include:

3rd person and active voice

Writing that is clear, brief, and logical

Using the vocabulary of that discipline

Collaboration and peer review

Frequently uses visuals such as charts and graphs
