Portfolio 1:New challenges facing engineering
After finish reading the two articles, I have realized that engineers are actually not like what we had imagined before---who are only involved in manufacture industry. Nowadays, in the 21st century, their roles are changing as the highly development of the world. The responsibility of solving human concern is on their shoulders and they are facing unprecedented challenges.
After finish reading the two articles, I have realized that engineers are actually not like what we had imagined before---who are only involved in manufacture industry. Nowadays, in the 21st century, their roles are changing as the highly development of the world. The responsibility of solving human concern is on their shoulders and they are facing unprecedented challenges.
As mentioned in the two articles, human beings, as a whole, now face all kinds of crisis. For instance, resources which are going to be used up, the spread of hunger, lack of clean water, the advent of incurable new diseases, frequent nature disasters and the danger of terrorism. All above must be solved in order to achieve a sustainable, safe, healthy, and joyous human society. By analyzing the current status of all these concerns and from the perspective of causes, we can easily find that all can be resolved to certain extent with the use of modern technology and engineers play a key role in it.
Also, it is not enough for only engineers engaging in the field. Scientists, as well as educators should join in the procession. For the sake of all human beings, they should cooperate with each other and help each other. So for engineers, it is essential to learn some knowledge out of their specific field like acts and social science. Then, they can make the most use of their knowledge and contribute to the society.
Realizing that we face a lot of problems which are urgent to be solved and engineering is going to play a significant part in dealing with them, I think “new challenges facing engineering” is the most important idea to the profession in the two articles.

Your writing is very clear. At the very beginning, you reponse the question directly which shows your idea to me at once. After giving your opinion, you also give some related examples, these examples gave me a better understanding that engineers are nowadays faced with many challenges. Besides, my suggestion is that this article can be more focused.
Hi,
Yes, I agree with you that engineers are involved in various fields nowadays. There are also engineers in banking industry.Yes, engineers are also required to work hand-in-hand with people from other professions to accomplish their missions and make the world a better place.
Your article is clear state that the engineer nowadays need to face and solve many kinds of problems no only from engineering itself.
You state that the "new challenge facing engineering" at the beginning and at the end of the article. It is better to state which article is the most important to engineering clearly. Your language is fluency. and can be clear to go further into detail in your idea. From your article, I can have better and general idea about the challenge we are facing nowadays.
Yes, we engineers did face many challenges in the future. However, it is also a chance provided by the world for engineers. We engineers should contribute more to society as engineers are such a significant role in society.
