Engineering stimulates the mind. Kids get bored easily. They have got to get out and get their hands dirty: make things, dismantle things, fix things. When the schools can offer that, you'll have an engineer for life. - Bruce Dickinson
@Amir Mosavi Being a faculty member in the college of engineering. I recommend to be open minded. Be a leader in what you decide to do and don't repeat what others are doing.
Thank you for the invitation.

Dear colleague
Thank you to share me this question, Engineering the Future is an alliance of professional engineering organisations with a combined membership of 450,000 engineers. Engineering the Future works to promote understanding of the contribution of engineering to the economy and society, and to increase the role of engineering in the development and delivery of national policy. One can work with government and parliament to inform and shape key areas of policy, such as energy, national infrastructure and biomedical engineering. The leadership of Engineering the Future is drawn from the following organisations:
Engineering Council
Engineering
The Institution of Chemical Engineers
The Institution of Civil Engineers
The Institution of Engineering and Technology
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers
The Institute of Physics
The Royal Academy of Engineering

I look forward to reading more. My only contribution is a few articles encompassing "macro-imagineering". [See Cv.] Richard.
A branch of science and technology that deals with the design, building, and use of engines, machines, and structures etc. It has various branches/fields.
The present era is enjoying all the fruits of previous generation innovations. Engineering is still advancing and we see revolutionary changes. As mentioned by Saeed it is 'alliance of professional engineering organisations'

Engineering The Future: Max Fordham’s Predictions For 2016 And Beyond
A team of experts at environmental engineering firm Max Fordham have compiled a list of their predictions for the coming year, with a focus on reducing energy consumption and ensuring that building designers put the health and wellbeing of the people who use that building first...
Long term predictions are based on data mining tools in different areas.
Anticipatory Engineering: more than business as usual?
What might the explicit acknowledgement of anticipation contribute to existing engineering practice and theory? Whenever an engineer creates a model of a system the purpose is almost certainly to anticipate scenarios of the form “will the system perform as designed in some future imagined situation?” A good example might be designing a city’s flood defences against some estimated future state of sea level. Engineering generally seems to be very good at this type of anticipation across all its separate concerns; civil, mechanical, aero, ICT etc. The reach of Engineering is more often than not bounded by the limits placed by economic value; e.g. the height and extent of flood defences actually built will likely be a trade-off between performance and available budget. However, this narrow view of value is also one of the problems facing engineering. What is actually valued by a wide group of stakeholders is also likely to be contested. The messier the problem, the more diverse and contested will be the values. We suggest that engineering currently either (i) ignores this diversity of values and their contested nature, or (ii) handles the situation in an ad hoc informal non-systematic way. Both approaches are at the cost of being trapped in a functional role of instrumental rationality. The explicit study of what other disciplines understand by anticipation and engaging in dialogue over these meanings potentially offers engineering one way out of this bind...

Mahfuz Judeh: We are in TOTAL agreement. However, some kids (such as myself) seem to have a naturally greater interest in those activities than others--perhaps that is some kind of psychic indicator? As a child, I was scolded for my tendency to constantly be actually digging big holes in home backyards of friends and building adobe check-dams in a farm environment. It was so very pleasurable! Even at 73, I still wish for such activity....but law-enforcement might not approve!
Some of the answers to this question is related to future engineering i.e. engineering in upcoming future.
My answer is related to how future can be engineered. I think, strong framework of society with good framework of health, employment and education - can make easy to engineer the future. Political stability is a major factor to plan for a future. Sometimes politics goes to its worst level, and plans of future (especially of students in colleges) is vanished due to bad atmosphere created by such political situations.
In Bihar, a state of India, copying and cheating in examinations increased at mass level after formation of government in certain era. The future of merited students spoiled due to such activities.
Therefore, I think that engineer the future needs stability of policies especially love to honesty in the society. A disturbed society can not engineer its future.

As a 10 year-old I was given a copy of Willy Ley's ENGINEERS' DREAMS. While later I became a trained geography, I have always retained my fascination with construction. One of Ley's chapters dealt with Altantropa (see attachment). While working on many possible plans for mega-projects, most are published in various books and peer-reviewed journals, Atlantropa still intrigues me. So, at the moment, I am writing a modernization that may prove useful during the age of potential regional sea-level rise. I would not ever wish to see an artist's paradise such as Venice for-ever submerged as in a late James G. Ballard Sci-Fi novel!!
Thanks for the invitation for participating. I can say that quality, competence, innovation and continuous improvement were always and will be continually the fundamental bases and the future of any consequential human activity, and much particularly in Engineering, where everything needs working properly and effectively on the benefit of the persons and of the populations.
Anticipating the future by watching unlabeled video!
In many computer vision applications, machines will need to reason beyond the present, and predict the future. This task is challenging because it requires leveraging extensive commonsense knowledge of the world that is difficult to write down. We believe that a promising resource for efficiently obtaining this knowledge is through the massive amounts of readily available unlabeled video. In this paper, we present a large scale framework that capitalizes on temporal structure in unlabeled video to learn to anticipate both actions and objects in the future. The key idea behind our approach is that we can train deep networks to predict the visual representation of images in the future. We experimentally validate this idea on two challenging “in the wild” video datasets, and our results suggest that learning with unlabeled videos significantly helps forecast actions and anticipate objects...
Fine MIT technology for future prediction!
Changes of paradigms are based on reaching a critical mass of "anomalies" (Kuhn). You may agree or not, but in any case it is clear that evolution refers to an integrated growth of complex, non artfully stimulated mutations – thus different from "fabrication" at all. Conversely, it seems to me actually that, for some reasons, we are convinced that hacking the growth is a virtue, maybe an instrumental asset. Being not a marketing man, I have my doubts.

We can engineer the future by our contibution to the develpment of sciences.
Automated manufacturing
Evolving computational software structure to provide the most affordable solutions and best quality in all stages of the design process and products
Engineering the Future
students learn like engineers.
Students take on the role of engineers and apply the engineering design process to define and solve problems by inventing and improving products, processes, and systems. They begin to understand the relationships among STEM concepts and practices.
Engineering the Future
students learn how technology affects society.
Students develop an understanding of how advances in technology affect human society and how human society determines which new technologies will be developed.
Engineering the Future
students learn and apply energy concepts
The concept of energy is fundamental to all of the sciences, but it is also challenging to learn. To build a useful mental model of energy, students learn to apply the same energy principles to thermal, fluid, and electrical systems.
Engineering the future is an incomplete statement...its so vast that anybody will attempt to answer will not able to fill the basic content at least.. I mean will not able to justify...... If it can be narrowed down means specific... then answer will be close to what you really wants to know...
Engineering the Future is program that exposes the youth to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). EF is a new Technical Outreach Community Help .The overall goal of this program is to expose the next generation to STEM. accomplishment this effectively through our Engineering the Future program by presenting the material to them in a way they can understand, providing thorough explanatory information, having competitive and informative activities, exposing them to material they have never seen, and positively impacting the students with a lasting impression. Through EF, the participants are exposed to a better and brighter future while also developing powerful leadership skills, useful problem solving and creative thinking skills, effective communications skills, and important teamwork skills. This program will help them tremendously in their future.

The biggest threat to innovation is politics and culture which doesn't accept failure or ideas from outside.... This is the obstacle on the road of engineering the future.
