Grand Challenges for Engineering

         There are 14 Grand Challenges for engineers for the XXI Century.
Out of all of them, the one that stood out for me is securing the cyberspace. 

Because of the development of technology, everything is now getting linked electronically. Thus, we are in greater danger by having military, banking, and government intelligence electronically, we have the risk of it being hacked or information being leaked. Thus, many people are trying to come with ways to combat cyber-hacking by learning from mistakes and previous hacks.

MATLAB Demonstrations

My favourite demonstration is the 3D plots and surface plots. Firstly, because there is a sense of aesthetics to it. Secondly, it is a good source for visually seeing the information in a visual way. Thirdly, 3D plotting has more features than 2D plotting which helps to plot a bigger amount of graphs.
