Engineering Education Fast Forward

Conference Programme

2 Annual Conference and 40th anniversary

Engineering Education Fast Forward is the summary of 40 years (1973 > 2013 >>) of intensive dedication and engagement of many educators in different (technical) universities and higher education institutes for engineering students. Four decades

ago SEFI was created as a network of people and institutes that were concerned with high quality education specifically for engineers. The trend was immediately clear: the first SEFI conferences were dealing with non-technical training, project-oriented studies and research in educational institutes. SEFI opens the discussion on the social role of engineers, on targeted innovative education concepts and on the relation education-research in engineering programs. Since then a series of 40 conferences treated all essential components of engineering education efforts in Europe and beyond. Exactly 25 years after the SEFI conference on Engineering Education in Europe, we are back in Leuven for the 41st edition.

We are pleased to welcome educators and interested people from more than 30 countries worldwide back in Leuven, the place where the original SEFI agreement was signed in 1973. For this edition we will concentrate on the following areas in engineering education: research, concepts, tools, curriculum development, ethics, lifelong learning, mathematics, physics and biology, quality assurance, attraction, sustainability, industry and diversity. Every area is mostly overlapping with others, e.g. research on educational tools to implement new concepts on sustainability. We are sure this will be reflected in the presentations and will spark interesting discussion, as this conference is a meeting place of people with vibrating ideas and rich experiences: a dialogue between history and future, between tradition and innovation, between consolidation and progress.

We hope that the SEFI-Leuven experience will lead to long-lasting new initiatives and to active networking between all actors of the engineering education society.
