As I stated when I took office in July 2013, my focus was on three strategic goals for engineering: (1) the importance of talent in our engineering workforce, (2) globalization and the global role of the NAE, and (3) visibility and understanding of engineering. I believe we have made commendable progress on these goals through a variety of dynamic programs. 2018 Highlights The Grand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP) simultaneously addresses all three goals by building on a vision for engineering with a new template for engineering education and practice. Its dramatic continuing expansion both nationally and internationally is supported by the NAE GCSP Network Office. Since 2013 there C. D. Mote, Jr. has been a nearly fivefold increase in the total number of programs—in 2018 alone the number of participating schools rose 29 percent. In addition, the biennial Global Grand Challenges Summit series engages international leaders in engineering industry, entrepreneurship, and education as well as the next generation of engineers in collaborative efforts to address the challenges facing our world and planet. Attendance continues to grow at this event, and, most encouragingly, about half of its participants are students. A 2018 NRC study sponsored by the three academies produced the consensus report Sexual Harassment of Women: Climate, Culture, and Consequences in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, establishing the seriousness of harassment both for the individual victims and for the professions too. Among other findings, the study showed the importance of an organization’s policies and the perception of its practices on sexual harassment. The leadership must communicate and demonstrate that the policies and procedures needed to create a culture that is welcoming to women are taken seriously, followed, and enforced in all cases. Recognizing that the NAE has no code of ethics for its members, the NAE Council initiated a process to establish one. Its efforts are being complemented by those of the councils of its sister academies to ensure a welcoming environment for all women. The focus of the 2018 annual meeting was cybersecurity, which is everyone’s concern. In the plenary session, new NAE member Diane Greene, then CEO of Google Cloud, talked about the security of the Cloud and large-scale global data centers, and Mike Walker of Microsoft reviewed personal security for computers, phones, and internet-connected devices. They clarified just how anxious we should be. During the technical forum the next day, Mr. Walker joined three other expert panelists in presenting their perspectives on Privacy and Security in the 21st Century – Who Knows and Who Controls: Lea Kissner from Google, Aanchal Gupta from Facebook, and Batya Friedman from the University of Washington. Their remarks and a lively discussion afterward confirmed that, notwithstanding impressive technological advances, many questions remain about how best to secure the personal and professional devices on which we rely. We appreciate greatly sponsorship for this meeting from Amazon, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft. Their generous assistance made this program possible. The Campaign for the NAE: Leadership in a World of Accelerating Change As people, organizations, and countries grapple with rapid technological, economic, and other changes the world over, the NAE’s work continues to both guide and complement that of companies, government, and universities while remaining utterly unique and independent. We are not driven by profit or politics. Our rigorous objectivity and our convening power give us a competitive advantage 1 across sectors and around the globe in providing impartial, evidence-based advice on how to address the most pressing problems of the day. The NAE’s unparalleled reputation for integrity, national standing, and convening power and the trust that the engineering community places in NAE findings and counsel all require private funds. The need for objective, fact-based, independent advice for our nation is more important than ever, and philanthropy fuels our capacity to act with dispatch and agility as opportunities and challenges present themselves. A healthy foundation of private support is vital to ensure that the academy can proactively advise the nation and carry out programs that help promote and foster the engineering profession. Endorsed by the NAE Council, the planning phase of a major seven-year Campaign for the NAE began on January 1, 2016. The campaign leads from strength, seeking funding to support action-oriented programs that I call key enablers for addressing major challenges: EngineerGirl and the Grand Challenges Scholars Program for developing engineering talent; the Frontiers of Engineering for sustaining engineering excellence; the Center for Engineering Ethics and Society to ensure the integrity of the profession; and, underpinning them all, funding to empower the NAE to fulfill its mission to advise the nation and to nurture the engineering profession. Concluding Observations In this time of accelerating change, organizations must adapt while preserving their mission and the NAE is no exception. We are rising to this challenge with our five-year strategic plan and the major campaign. These will effectively guide the academy in its adaptations, especially with the thoughtful engagement and generous support of all our members as we address these demands and embrace new opportunities. I want to personally thank our members and friends for your trust in our work in 2018 and during my tenure. Your support and involvement allow the NAE to develop engineering talent and host unique programs that have global impact. I am delighted that Council member John L. Anderson, Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology, will succeed me. With the prospect of his leadership, I am confident that the NAE will be in very good hands to address the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. In the following pages you will find reports of the NAE’s work in 2018. These projects strategically underpin our mission to advance the well-being of the nation and future engineers. I am most grateful for your active, thoughtful engagement in and support for all the NAE’s efforts and for your generosity of spirit. C. D. Mote, Jr. President 2 NAE In Service to the Nation Every day our nation faces questions related to engineering and technology. What does the nation need to do to prosper in the global economy? What is the role of basic research and development in ensuring future economic development? How do we assess the importance of manufacturing in the United States to national prosperity? How can we ensure that students are aware of the nature of engineering and its importance to the nation, so they can make informed decisions about pursuing an engineering education and career? How do we ensure that undergraduate engineering education meets the needs of those students? How do we increase the diversity of the engineering workforce? As technology becomes an ever more critical discriminator for US success in the global marketplace for ideas, goods, and services, addressing these questions is increasingly important. Since 1964 the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) has provided independent, objective advice to the nation on engineering-related topics and policies. The NAE operates under the same congressional act of incorporation that established the National Academy of Sciences, signed in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln,
