The 6th ICEBE will be held in Windhoek, Namibia on October 8-10.

Over the past decade, this event has offered a unique opportunity for academics, business and, since last year, even for students from around the globe to share their broad array of knowledge and perspectives. The primary goal of the conference is to provide those with cross-disciplinary interests related to engineering and business education an opportunity to meet and interact with others inside and outside their own discipline. The international aspect of the conference brings a truly diverse variety of viewpoints shaped by different cultures, languages, geography and politics.

The conferences series has been organized since 2008 every year on different places of the world. This year it will be held in Windhoek, Namibia. Along with its ideal weather and striking beauty, the Namibian country provides natural elements to inspire learning and dialogue.

The 2012 conference that was held in Sibiu, Romania, was, again, a great success. We hosted more than 100 participants representing more than 21 countries.

The 15th International Conference on Engineering and Product Design Education will bring together representatives from education, design practice, industry and government agencies that have an interest in developing new approaches and directions in design education.

The conference will take place in Dublin on the 5 & 6 of September 2013.   The event will be organised by the School of Manufacturing & Design Engineering, Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT), in participation with the Design Education Special Interest Group (DESIG) of the Design Society and the Institution of Engineering Designers (IED). The conference will provide a forum for participants to discuss current educational issues and to identify new approaches, address new challenges and new directions for design education. This is reflected in this year’s conference theme, ‘Growing our Future’. The conference’s aim is to reflect the increasing emphasis on design education as a driver for economic growth and in particular the importance of design in addressing such issues as sustainability, creativity and innovation. We encourage conference submissions that have varied interpretations of the phrase ‘Growing our Future’ in line with the stated conference topics.

The 2013 Research in Engineering Education Symposium (REES2013) will be held on 4-6 July 2013 in Kuala Lumpur.

This symposium follows ICREE 2007 in Hawaii, USA, REES 2008 in Davos, Switzerland, REES 2009 in Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia, and REES 2011 in Madrid, Spain.”

The event is held in collaboration with Research in Engineering Education Network (REEN). REEN is an international forum for scholars interested in discussing and advancing research in engineering education. It aims to bring together the growing international community of engineering education researchers. This vibrant and welcoming community nurtures developing researchers through collaboration and sound methodological approaches to address the challenges within Engineering Education.

Academics, researchers and decision makers interested in enhancing engineering education through scholarly and evidence-based practices should not miss the opportunity to attend this meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This is the first REES symposium held in Asia. It will give you the chance to experience the hospitality of Kuala Lumpur, and the cultural experiences that should not to be missed! Selected papers will be invited for publication in the International Journal on Engineering Education, which is indexed in SCOPUS and ISI.

The ASEE Annual Conference and Exposition hosts more than 400 technical sessions, with peer-reviewed papers spanning all disciplines of engineering education. Attendees include deans, faculty and researchers, students, and retirees. Distinguished lectures run through- out the conference, starting with the main plenary. In addition to various award receptions and banquets, ASEE hosts a complimentary “Meet the Board Forum,” providing the opportunity for all registrants to meet with members of the ASEE Board of Directors and discuss current issues in engineering and technology.

In order to strengthen the quality of conference proceedings, the ASEE Board of Directors has voted on a policy of “publish to present” at the ASEE annual conference. This policy, which requires all conference papers and presentations to be peer reviewed, seeks to ensure that intellectual activity by faculty and staff receives appropriate professional recognition.

In addition to Publish to Present sessions, since the 2011 ASEE annual conference, divisions may submit Panel sessions. To submit a Panel session, divisions are asked to provide white papers (extended abstracts) of no more than four pages consisting of two pages of session description and two pages of bios. The PIC chairs will review the Panel sessions submitted and determine their viability to the conference. (Please check the appropriate field/column for submitting a Panel session through the new ASEE paper submission system.)
