Dave:



Today’s Wall Street Journal noted that the National Academy of  
Engineering has an open invitation “…to join in a worldwide  
brainstorming session. The goal: To determine the Grand Challenges  
for Engineering during the next 100 years and, perhaps, beyond.”



Challenges are submitted to and, after vetting, are posted at: http:// 
www.engineeringchallenges.org/cms/7187.aspx  A skim of ideas already  
posted reveals a lot of unoriginal “usual suspects” (clean energy)  
and a few interesting ones (artificial brains). Surely the IP  
community could do better.  You should ask IPers to submit their  
ideas to NAE with a copy to you for further discussion on IP of those  
you think most interesting.
