"Shaping the Future through Global Partnerships"
Hosted by BoÄŸaziçi University
Conrad Hilton, Istanbul, Turkey
October 1 - 4, 2007
The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) presents an annual global colloquium that unites the diverse elements of the international engineering education world while focusing on issues of interest to the international engineering education community. The colloquium, held annually in locations such as Berlin, Beijing and Sydney with the assistance of engineering education organizations from the host country, links engineering educators across international borders and brings together teachers and researchers who would otherwise never have an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and viewpoints.
ASEE is excited to present the 2nd Annual ASEE Global Student Forum on Engineering Education, hosted at BoÄŸaziçi University. The Student Forum will provide the opportunity for engineering students from around the world to meet, exchange ideas, and discuss issues related to engineering education and professional development in the global context. Students will be looking to identify areas of continued collaboration for strengthening the global network of engineering students. (Pre-registration Required)
Please join us as we kickoff the 6th annual ASEE Global Colloquium on Engineering Education with an elegant reception at beautiful BoÄŸaziçi University. Complimentary transportation to and fromthe reception will be provided from the Conrad Hilton. The Opening Reception is complimentary for full paid registrants and $40 pp for non-registrants or extra tickets.
Hoshgoru Concert by Istanbul Sazendeleri – “The Sound of Love, in Silence and in a Single Breath” Sponsored by Intekno

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.
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:
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:
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.
