Hello Future Engineer,
Sometimes you don't need all the high tech equipment to be able to accomplish something profound. A scientist used Scotch tape to demonstrate creation of thin layer of graphene using a Scotch tape...and won Nobel Prize for it! You can read more about it at here.
This reminds me of telling you about the KISS principle put forth by Kelly Johnson (inventor/designer of a few legendary aircrafts namely U-2, SR-71).
KISS == Keep It Simple, Stupid!

Flapless flight demonstrated by a UAV
Hello Future Engineer,
A relatively new method of controlling flight without using control surfaces (that is ailerons, rudder or an elevator) has been demonstrated by a UAV. The control is via jets of air emanating from nozzles embedded within the blended wing body structure.
You can see videos and learn more about it here.

Automotive X prize
Hello Future Engineer,
Here are some snapshots from Automotive X prize competition in which teams from universities, colleges, and a high school (in Philadephia) participated. The teams were required to prove that 100 miles per gallon fuel efficiency is possible.

Lemelson-MIT program for inventors
Hello Future Engineer,
Do you have an inventor in you? Maybe there is but you don't know. Perhaps, you might want to check the MIT's website about Lemelsom-MIT program and read what day to day life products some other inventors have come up with...you might be in for a surprise!
