From a declining population in developed countries to instant access to information worldwide, the possibilities and challenges we face in the 21st century are unlike anything the human race has experienced in its entire history. Among the many challenges we face, there are issues that we are not fully aware of yet, and that can have an enormous negative impact if left unattended. We call these types of challenges "latent issues."
The goal of the Open Engineering Center is to identify or predict the latent issues using the open engineering concept based on discussion and collaboration with a variety of stakeholders to address such problems before they fully develop.
