Where you go to school matters to your career. But where you work and live after college matters not just to your career but to your life, the lives of your friends and family, and the lives of people the world over that your work as an engineer will touch.

So here’s a challenge for you.
Do you know how by mid-century you’ll…

• Fuel a car without polluting the atmosphere?
• Stop the oceans from swamping coastal cities?
• Ensure quality health care for everyone?
• Protect information in a totally online world?
• Provide safe food and water for nine billion people?

This is the “2050 Challenge”—
our challenge at the College of Engineering at Iowa State, where you can challenge yourself with one of twelve majors that will prepare you for a career in:

• Biosciences and Engineering
• Engineering for Extreme Events
• Energy Sciences and Technology
• Information and Decision Sciences
• Engineering for Sustainability
