Conferences

The annual IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON) rotates among central locations in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The conference provides a forum for academic, research and industrial collaboration on global engineering education. EDUCON is the flagship conference of the IEEE Education Society.

The National Board of Accreditation (NBA) India is hosting the International Engineering Alliance Meetings 2024 (IEAM 2024). The International Engineering Alliance Meetings can be attended by the representatives of accreditation bodies who are permanent or provisional signatories to Accord(s) or Agreement(s) maintained by the IEA. Working groups will meet regarding mobility, virtual accreditation, and emerging models for engineering program accreditation.

The Canadian Engineering Education Association hosts an annual conference, and with the groups' focus on re-envisioning accreditation to meet the needs of a changing world, the conference will have some events focused on program accreditation in 2023. Broadly, the theme for this year's conference addresses how engineering graduates must have a broad range of skills and competencies; be able to work in a rapidly evolving socio-technological world and maintain sustainable practices; be adaptable and become leaders. 

The Inaugural ENAEE European Summit of Presidents of Accreditation Agencies has been announced by the European Network for Accreditation of Engineering Education. ENAEE authorises accreditation and quality assurance agencies to award the EUR-ACE® (EURopean- ACcredited Engineer) label to their accredited engineering degree programmes at the Bachelor and Master level. EUR-ACE® is a framework and accreditation system that provides a set of standards that identifies high-quality engineering degree programmes in Europe and abroad.

The European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI) Annual Conference is a scientific conference focused on Engineering Education and the biggest event of this type in Europe. SEFI Annual Conferences are a unique opportunity for professors, students, industry and professional organizations to exchange their views and to meet their peers and create a European network of contacts. The topics of the conferences reflect the objectives of the society and the priorities identified by its members.  

The 2024 ICACIT Symposium will focus on national and international program accreditation: experiences, implementation, models and multi-models; assessment, evaluation and continuous improvement: experiences, implementation, models and multi-models; models of quality assurance, accreditation, licensing and multi-models; curriculum design (curriculum and course abstract) aligned with student outcomes or competencies; inclusion of collaborative or student-centered learning techniques at the program level, and educational policies. Instituto de Calidad y Acreditación de Programas de Computación, Ingenieria y Tecnología (ICACIT) in Peru is an international accrediting agency specialized in undergraduate and postgraduate Engineering, Computing, Science, Engineering Technology and Architecture programs, with 19 years of uninterrupted institutional history, committed to promoting the continuous improvement of educational quality in higher education. It is the first Latin American accrediting agency admitted as a signatory of the Washington Accord and a member of the European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).

The Global Engineering Conference (GECO) offers a platform to facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge knowledge, skills, innovations, and solutions within the diverse engineering disciplines. In 2024, The meetings will be hosted in Africa, for the first time. The theme is "Engineering Innovations for a Sustainable Future," focusing on the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The Sustainable Development Goals include SDG11 on sustainable cities and communities, discussions include smart and resilient cities, urban planning, transportation infrastructure, sustainable architecture, and disaster resilience.

A gathering of stakeholders and leaders in engineering education, with representatives from institutions, industry, nonprofits, and governments coming together to promote pedagogy and impact engineering education on a global scale. 

The International Conference on Engineering Education and Innovation (ICEEI) is a platform for academic communications, exchange of ideas and inspirations between specialists and scholars in the fields of education and innovation, including hot issues such as vocational education, applied psychology, innovation economy and innovative research. 

The Australasian Association for Engineering Education (AAEE) is a professional organization committed to fostering excellence and innovation in engineering education. The 2024 AAEE Annual Conference has the title, "The Engineer and The World," and reflects the International Engineering Alliance’s recognition of the need for future engineers to advance the achievement and sustainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The UN SDGs form the basis of the themes for AAEE2024, and these themes are interwoven with four learning and teaching topics: innovative pedagogy, learner perspectives, graduate outcomes, and community and industry needs. AAEE2024 will catalyse and inform future innovation and research on integrating more sustainability into engineering education.

IEEE TALE is the IEEE Education Society’s flagship Asia-Pacific conference series, catering to researchers and practitioners with an interest in engineering, technology, and integrated STEM education as well as those interested in the innovative use of digital technologies for learning, teaching, and assessment in any discipline. The conference target audience is diverse and includes those working in the higher education, vocational education and training (VET), K-12, corporate, government, and healthcare sectors.  

The ABET Symposium is the organization's flagship event for accreditation, assessment and the global exchange of best practices in STEM education. The conference brings together experts from academia, industry and government to discuss today's accreditation challenges. Sessions are intended to cover foundational topics such as accreditation and assessment, as well as new strategies and emerging trends in STEM higher education.  Recent criteria changes will be discussed along with site visit preparation.
