Program

The colloquium will address three major themes of contemporary interest:

  • Advancing Global Engineering Education Research
  • Enhancing Global Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship
  • Assuring Engineering Quality and Enabling Global Mobility

The colloquium will focus on successful strategies and practices for advancing these themes. Contributors are encouraged to provide examples that detail actions of what works and why, and with supporting evidence.

Track 1: Advancing Global Engineering Education Research

The future of engineering education is increasingly being discussed around the world, especially within the many societies and journals dedicated to teaching engineering. The discussions are evolving from what we teach to more pedagogically-based conversations about how we teach. However, the scholarship of inquiry in engineering education is not yet well developed. Carefully planned educational research involves quantitative and qualitative studies of how students learn in an engineering context. Research questions include: What is it that enables learning to take place? How do we facilitate it? How do we determine what students have actually learned? Scholars who contribute to this small but growing body of knowledge have few opportunities to meet and discuss research methodologies and share the outcomes of their work.

This track is intended to bring together researchers from around the world who are embracing this interdisciplinary research focus on educational innovations as well as those who would like to develop their scholarship of inquiry in engineering education.

Sub-themes:

  1. Research into student learning in engineering contexts
  2. Research into assessment and evaluation practices in engineering contexts
  3. Exploring the impact of the learning environment on student learning
  4. Engineering education research methodologies
  5. Moving from research to practice

 

Track 2: Enhancing Global Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship

The world economy has dramatically changed over the centuries. Centuries old agrarian economies have become industrial economies and more recently many of these are in transition to service and knowledge economies. However, in order to “use knowledge for development” a country/region must ensure its people have the right set of knowledge, skills, competencies, and values to address the challenges and opportunities of these changing economies. Engineers play a key role not only in solving local/global problems but in knowledge creation and knowledge transfer. In order to address the challenges of a globalized economy, it is imperative that technical know-how be supplemented with business savvy and social awareness.

This track is intended to present global perspectives on infusing more innovation and entrepreneurship into the education of engineers, including consideration of the social, sustainable, and political realities of a global community.

Sub-themes:

  1. Developing an engineering skilled workforce to address economic development challenges
  2. Multi-stakeholder partnerships for knowledge creation and knowledge transfer
  3. Integrating creativity and entrepreneurship in the engineering curricula
  4. Development of centers of innovation to tap into the growing stock of global knowledge, assimilate and adapt it to local needs, and create new knowledge
  5. Using technoparks (science parks) to develop innovative and entrepreneurial skills of engineering students

 

Track 3: Assuring Engineering Quality and Enabling Global Mobility

Globalization is rapidly changing the ways in which economies around the world design, produce, and distribute goods and services. Engineers play a key role in these fundamental transformations. They practice increasingly on a global scale, either in virtual teams or by working abroad. The engineering profession must view itself from this global perspective and must prepare its graduates for such a global workplace. Thus, engineering education programs must be assessed by international standards and benchmarks of quality and providing international experiences for engineering students and professionals has to become a key objective.

This track is intended to present international perspectives on assuring quality in engineering programs, developing worldwide recognition of engineering accreditation, and preparing the next generation of engineers for a more mobile global workplace.

Sub-themes:

  1. Fundamentals of a quality engineering education for the 21st century
  2. Ensuring quality engineering education: International perspectives on accreditation
  3. Models for mobility in engineering education between universities
  4. Models for mobility in engineering education between universities and industry
  5. Assuring quality in global mobility programs
