There are 14 grand challenges face by the engineer in today society. One of the challenges is to make solar energy affordable so that they can use to reduce the usage of fossils fuel. Because emit of carbon dioxide will cause climate to change. The second challenges is to provide energy from fusion so that to sustain a controlled fusion reaction for commercial power generation. The third challenge is to develop carbon sequestration methods to capture and store carbon dioxide which emits from the burning of fossil fuel. The fourth challenge is to manage the nitrogen cycle to reduce the pollution which causes by fertilizer use, internal combustion and other activities. The fifth challenge is to provide access to clean water to meet the demand in the usage of clean water in today society. The sixth challenges restore and improve urban infrastructure so that they could still retain the aging building. The seventh challenges must be able to identify the specific factors behind wellness and illness through personalized medicine. The eight challenges are to find new treatments for age-old scourge and newly emerging disease. The ninth challenges is to find the function of the brain so that to advance the field of artificial intelligence. The tenth challenge is to prevent threats from agents who are bent upon brining ruin to industrial society. The eleventh challenge is to protect information in the computer from viruses and other threats without bogging down the flow of the data. The twelve challenges are to use computer technology to create imaginative environments for education and entertainment. The thirteen challenges are to allow education to be done by using computer. The last challenges is to improve on the exploring the frontiers of life, the atom and the cosmos.

The challenges that you summarize are the main 14 challenges that face by engineer and it should be solve for the goods of human being. I think there is some writing error in your summary. Like when you mention the first challenge, then second challenge. There is an error when you wrote fifth challenges to the last challenges. I think you should you challenge instead of challenges as you try to mention 1 item at a time. My suggestion is try to write in Microsoft words as this will reduce your spelling errors.
