Google has been taking votes on Project 10^100:

Last fall we launched Project 10^100, a call for ideas to change the world by helping as many people as possible. Your response was overwhelming. Thousands of people from more than 170 countries submitted more than 150,000 (or around 10^5.2) ideas, from general investment suggestions to specific implementation proposals. As we reviewed these submissions, we started noticing lots of similar ideas related to certain broad topics, and decided that combining the best aspects of these individual proposals would produce the most innovative approaches to solving some very pressing problems.

Two of the ideas involve engineers and engineering education: Encourage positive media depictions of engineers and scientists & Enhance science and engineering education.

Voting is complete and results will be announced soon.
