Grand Challenges for Engineering - Making Solar Energy Economical:
This particular challenge is one that has eluded researchers and the energy industry for years, leaving solar power to be stuck, seemingly perpetually, in the position of "the energy source of the future." Researchers are always finding new methods to lower the cost of solar technology while maintaining or improving efficiency. Here's an interesting article about one particular innovation that might help make solar power cheaper:

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration:
Earth's Topography: this demo was simple yet interesting enough to me, an average joe who just started using MATLAB. I liked how the code was manipulated in order to evince the borders of continents by specifying the elevation to be zero. I also liked how the code could be changed to color map different elevations within a certain continent. Also, the graphical effects were pretty impressive. All in all, I thought it was an effective demonstration of what MATLAB can do (given the right code!)
