World of Difference
Coming: October 9 - December 13, 2013

Visitors will become familiar with the National Academy of Engineering's 14 Grand Challenges for Engineering, critical issues that must be addressed in the 21st century. They will also learn about the fundamental principles of energy, become aware of their own energy use, and understand the impact of engineering on societies over time and place.
