　　Three Gorges Hydroelectric Power Station, the world"s largest hydraulic complex, was included in this year"s Global Top Ten Engineering Achievements, according to a list compiled by Engineering journal and published on December 14. The journal is a publication under the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE).

　　This is Chinese Academy of Engineering"s inaugural list of Global Top Ten Engineering Achievements, selected from the proven and most influential engineering or technological feats completed over the past five years that represent the current top engineering technology in one or multiple fields all over the world.

　　The panel, composed by the editorial committee of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the expert team of Engineering Fronts, a project of CAE, follows independent, objective and scientific principles. It called for global nomination and expert recommendation, conducted public survey, and finalized the list, which includes AlphaGo and AlphaFold, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technique, extreme ultraviolet lithography systems for high-end chipmaking, 5G mobile communication technology, the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST), hybrid rice, NASA"s InSight Mars Lander, public health epidemic prevention and the battle against COVID-19, and the ultra-high voltage transmission project.
