Aims and Goals
The Committee on Engineering Education and Training in the World Federation of Engineering Organization is working on the future mobility of engineers, and will work on a future project aiming at the sustainable development in the field of training. We look forward for a full cooperation with the international accreditation agencies so that they will understand the required core of engineering and accommodate each region with its interests, allowing engineers to work and adapt in various regions. In this aspect we will communicate with regional and national engineering organizations to find a common point in the engineering curriculum at all universities for the advancement for engineering education.
Objectives
Regardless of the level of education and its field and substance, the process of engineering education is influenced by some instrumental elements like facilities, methods of approach and ethics and values. These elements vary from one country to another, and they have undergone tremendous dynamic changes over the past two centuries. Though education is considered to be a human right, the reality remains that the quality of education exhibits a very wide spectrum of inconsistency. The issue becomes a bit entangled with the wide diversity that dominates our globe, and we should face it at the Committee of Engineering Education and Training.
The Committee has its visions on the advancement of the engineering education at universities around the world for future generation of Engineers. We will work on improving quality assurance in engineering education and training by means of effective accreditation systems for engineering programs or educational institutions.
Our plan at CET is to carry out joint programs with UNESCO and other International or Regional bodies of the United Nations and to maintain permanent ties with educational institutes around the world benefiting from their expertise.
The committee will act as a co-organizer of the World Congress of Engineering Education and Training that will be held under the sponsorship of WFEO, hence we will promote seminars or symposiums on themes related with engineering education and training and try to establish agreements, materialize programs and propose actions aimed at creating an international agreement on engineering programs.
The vision of the committee is to strengthen the links with other Standing Technical Committees in WFEO, especially in the field of information technology and sustainable development, and the impact of globalization on the engineering education and engineering practice.
