American Society for Engineering Education

Objectives

ASEE’s mission  statement commits ASEE to "exercise worldwide leadership in engineering education," "encourage international communication and collaboration," and “facilitate international cooperation in matters pertaining to engineering education.” By offering international opportunities for collaboration and facilitating interconnectivity between stakeholders in engineering education, ASEE strives to enhance its services to the members in the United States and their counterparts in other parts of the world. Being an international leader in engineering education, ASEE seeks to facilitate productive global collaborations among industry, academe, and government and to increase participation in its activities to more completely serve the engineering and engineering technology enterprise. International cooperation in matters pertaining to engineering education is particularly crucial to the U.S. engineering community as it endeavors to enhance its capacity to attract and retain highly-skilled engineering professionals, to advance research in engineering education, and to foster collaboration between scholars and practitioners.

ASEE’s International Programs are carried out by its International Department, which has the following strategic goals:

• Implementing annual, high-quality Global Colloquium in partnership with local universities, academia, students, multi-lateral agencies, and corporate colleagues.
• In collaboration with engineering education leaders from the U.S. and throughout the world, providing leadership and support to the development of the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), and its initiatives.
• Increasing the awareness of U.S. engineering educators and students of the global nature of engineering, and raising their competence and sensitivity as professionals in a global environment.

ASEE’s International Department is in constant contact with engineering education stakeholders worldwide, forging new relationships and nurturing existing ones, in order to strengthen the connection between the U.S. engineering education community and the rest of the world.
