6th Global Colloquium on Engineering Education

• 1. Advancing Global Engineering Education
  Research
• How we teach is as important as what we teach,
  and student learning needs to be increasingly
  emphasized.  However, historically, engineering
  education has focused mostly on what rather
  than how.  Given the need for a major
  transformation in the preparation of the
  engineering workforce of the future, engineering
  educators need to learn to apply the same
  scholarly rigor to their educational innovations
  as they do in their technical fields.  This track
  is intended to present global perspectives on
  infusing more scholarship into engineering
  education innovation.

• 2. Enhancing Global Engineering Innovation and
  Entrepreneurship
• The world economy has dramatically changed over
  the centuries.  An agrarian economy for many
  centuries became an industrial one over the last
  century, and now is quickly in transition to a
  service and knowledge economy.  The role of
  engineers is also changing rapidly.  Technical
  know-how needs to be supplemented with business
  savvy and social conscious.  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.

• 3. Assuring Engineering Quality and Global
  Mobility
• Engineers and engineering is practiced on a
  global scale.  Thus, the quality of engineering
  education programs and the mobility of
  engineering professionals and engineering
  knowledge has become paramount.  Increasingly,
  the engineering profession must view itself from
  a global perspective and it must prepare its
  graduates for the global workplace.  This track
  is intended to present global 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.
