WELCOME LETTER

HISTORY OF THE COLLOQUIUM SERIES

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, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, and Istanbul, 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.

This year, ASEE is pleased to present the 2008 Global Colloquium in Cape Town, South Africa with the assistance of the Department of Chemical Engineering of University of Cape Town. Program tracks will address issues such as Inferring and Designing Engineering Education Practice from Research and Societal Context, Successful Practices in Engineering Education, and Securing a Vibrant Global Economy – Building Capacity through Sustainable Accreditation Policy and Practice in Developed and Developing Nations. The focus of the Colloquium is on successful strategies for dealing with each of these issues. Contributors will present examples of successful strategies, describing actions that are being taken and providing evidence of what works and why. Beyond the excellent technical program presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to tour sites in Cape Town, as well as visit some of the finest engineering colleges in South Africa.

We are pleased to announce that we have invited engineering students from throughout the world to join us during the Global Colloquium. A special student-focused program is currently being designed to enable students to interact with their global peers in addition to actively participating through the Colloquium. This will enable them to speak with representatives of corporations, governments and international engineering societies, global organizations such as Autodesk and IFEES, and university faculty and deans. There will also be several workshops focusing on cutting-edge issues related to engineering education and economic development.

GLOBAL COLLOQUIUM PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Overall Theme

"Excellence and Growth in Engineering Education in Resource Constrained Environments" – Learning from each other and working together to produce quality engineers for every part of the world in the 21st Century.

The colloquium will address three major themes of contemporary interest:

• Inferring and Designing Engineering Education Practice from Research and Societal Context

• Successful Practices in Engineering Education

• Securing a Vibrant Global Economy - Building Capacity through Sustainable Accreditation Policy and Practice in Developed and Developing Nations

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: Inferring and Designing Engineering Education Practice from Research and Societal Context: To what extent should engineering educators collaborate globally to re-engineer their programs?

The significant body of research in engineering education and related fields should inform and influence beliefs and theories for engineering both small-scale (e.g., daily to monthly time scales) learning experiences for students and large-scale (e.g., semester to multiple-year time scales) course and curriculum design improvements. The rationale for engineering these small- and large-scale innovations include improving student learning, increasing student retention in engineering, and increasing the diversity of engineering graduates.  

This track will explore the impact of research in engineering education to deepen our understanding of the implications for engineering education practice.

Track 2: Successful Practices in Engineering Education

To compete in an increasingly global environment, engineering graduates must have a firm grounding in technical as well as professional skills.  In addition to the traditional math/science/physics base, students must be adept in the appropriate use of these fundamentals to design socially responsible and financially viable solutions which will improve the quality of life on this planet.

This track will explore the design, implementation and sustainability of engineering curricula to prepare graduates to compete in a global environment.  The goal is to foster discussion, exchange information, and nucleate future collaborations among attendees.  Examples of successful practices that will be discussed include: academic staff development, industry-university partnerships, skills for global competitiveness, facilities and resources, and course and curriculum design.

Track 3: Securing a Vibrant Global Economy - Building Capacity through Sustainable Accreditation Policy and Practice in Developed and Developing Nations

The quality of engineering education is a key determinant of economic success. Building engineering curricula internationally that are comparable contributes to the transformation of engineering education globally. Such transformation must spawn engineering professionals of high quality who will advance the cause of sustainable growth and development internationally.

This track explores systems of quality assurance in engineering education and their role and impact on producing engineering professionals ready to enter the workplace and embark on continuous professional development and learning.

CONTRIBUTED PAPER OVERVIEW

Over 200 authors from around the globe will be presenting papers of interest for the Global Colloquium themes during the Contributed Paper Sessions. Complete listings of presentations are located on the Contributed Paper Handout and the Proceedings CD available in your registration packet.

Contributed Paper Session will take place in the Streitiza Conservatory at the Cape Town International Convention Centre:
