Task 1:The Grand Challenges of Engineers

Engineer has been playing an important role in solving human's problem.The most important issue for engineers surely is the vulnerabilities faced by human.Without overcoming this problem,it is too hard for us to make a move in civilization.In line with the worldwide vision,engineer are trained to find adequate solution in solving problem and creating a better environment.

In the health aspect,engineers are trying to develop new medicine for certain diseases that are believed cannot be cured .Many studies have been conducted on disease like AIDS.In addition,aging problem is also causing a headache for engineer.Genetic study is infused in engineering courses so that engineers are able to solve aging problem in the future.

Surfing the net is part of the daily jobs for many people.Computer viruses and hackers are all around the internet.An advance technology is needed urgently in order to purge out hackers and computer viruses.On the other hand,law is not enough to prevent such casas to happen.Early detection system is a need for the present time and the time coming.Engineers should steamroll on this direction to create a safe and peace cyberworld.

As the population of human is growing,spaces in earth is afraid not enough for the population.Engineers have been doing many effort like trying to build a floating platform that enoble human to live on the sea.Since the population is growing,food supply is also a concern of engineers.The global famine is expected to happen in the future.Our land is not enough for plantation.As a result of that,engineers are developing things that can provide us energy instead of just food.

Vulnerabilities are the most important issue to engineers.Engineers are trained to solve problem.As a consequence,they have the responsibility to solve the vulnerabilities problem and they should feel duty-bound to do so for the sake of human being.

I like the way your writing. Each paragraph is very neat, have a main point to express. However, I am no agree that the major challenge of future engineers is the vulnerabilities. In my opinion, the sustainability should be the major challenge. Since the way human using the energy will affect the environment and thus give impact to human's daily life.

Hi Kian Hui,
You certainly look at a wide range of problems that need to be addressed, which makes your opinion more convincing. Do try to ensure that you include topic sentences that directly state each paragraph's main issue, thus making your points easier to understand. All the best! ~ Ms Khoo :)
