As the leading international organization for lifetime engineering education, the International Association for Continuing Engineering Education (IACEE) continues to hold conversations of critical importance with global leaders in our domain. In June 2023, we will gather to engage in discussions on matters that keep us at the edge of our seats, and ask:
  • What are the changes that will continue to shake our higher education institutions?
  • Are we shouldering our responsibility as higher education institutions when it comes to climate change and sustainability, or are we asleep at wheel?
  • What are 21st century learners asking for from us?
  • What systems are missing to build a seamless lifetime learning experience for learners to swirl in and out of our institutions?
  • What role do pre-college programs play in engineering education in a post-Covid world?
  • What is our bold educational agenda for lifetime engineering education now that we have left almost one quarter of the 21st century behind? 
These and many more are the questions we will bring up and discuss with an excellent slate of speakers.
 
Hosted by Duke University’s offices in Washington, DC, only a few blocks away from the White House and the U.S. Capitol, this symposium will be a summit of pioneers, visionaries, and bold thinkers. We are excited to invite you to this must-attend event of 2023, for a very affordable registration fee that is only intended to cover the costs of hosting the event.
