Keep an eye on this research center - New York University's Center for Urban Science and Progress. Big Data + Global Urbanization = Big Opportunities - - where the opportunities for many engineers will be in the areas of improving urban efficiencies and quality of life. Engineering will increasingly focus on digital technologies (sensors, wireless communication, storage, and algorithms) that see and measure just about everything in the urban environment.
The SimCity of fiction is becoming the sensored and modeled world of the real.
