≡ HOME About CIEE Goals Roles Engineering at BatStateU ACTIVITIES Conferences & Events Programs & Projects CONTACT US ADVISORY BOARD Fueling Ingenuity and Leadership in Engineering Education ICIEE 2021 CONFERENCE BRIEF It’s remarkable to see how quickly the world around us is changing. As the industry undergoes radical technological advancement, it is now the responsibility of the education sector to catch pace in producing future-proof graduates who will become professionals capable of meeting the industry’s rising demands. This is especially true in engineering, a discipline encompassing broad societal and economic implications facing the demands revolving around the new technologies. This generation’s engineering students will become the inventors, innovators, and leaders of tomorrow; history showing that engineers who have been adequately educated and trained become invaluable members of society for their contributions in solving many of humanity’s issues, driving the global economy, and enhancing key areas of human life. Thus, the goal is clear: engineering schools must focus on gearing their students up for the challenges of tomorrow. A greater responsibility now rests on the shoulders of academia to drive the undergraduate educational experience from a conventional pedantic curriculum to a wider fundamental experience that will prepare engineers for a lifetime of achievement. As engineering moves forward, so must engineering education.Innovation is vital to our economic, social, and environmental future, and the present situation encourages urgent, collaborative investments on both the local and global levels necessary for the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).Therefore, in its first year, this conference aims not only to spark intellectual discussions and refresh perspectives on the ways forward, but also to become a platform for sharing expertise, best practices, and experience that will benefit the academe, the industry, communities, the government, and other key sectors involved in nation – and world – building. The core of this conference is active innovation, harnessing the power of virtual technology.Participants are from all over the world: guest speakers from various engineering education organizations, industry partners, and accrediting institutions, as well as researchers, practitioners, and educators. This virtual conference is organized and facilitated by Batangas State University’s Center for Innovation in Engineering Education(CIEE) in celebration of 50 years of quality education in engineering. In addition to the keynote speeches, plenary sessions, and master classes, this conference features the Innovation Challenge Competition, a thematic competition that challenges students of higher education institutions to ideate, innovate and pitch solutions addressing the SDGs.The top ten teams shall undergo an innovation program to improve minimum viable products, conduct validation activities, and prepare for a final demo and pitching scheduled on December 6 and 7, 2021 during the 5th International Research Conference on the Innovations in Engineering, Science and Technology (IRCIEST V). Innovating Today towards the Engineering Mindset of the Future With the new times come new hurdles in engineering education and a call for innovations in teaching and learning. As drivers of said innovations, educators now realize the urgency to develop a roadmap towards developing the Engineering Mindset of the Future.What is needed is a global perspective exploring the current state of engineering education with the goal of effectively identifying the direction in which it appears to move, the shifts that it undergoes, and the impact of changes to it, so that the drivers of innovative change become more vigilant and adaptable as they navigate into the future today. The Continuing Role of Engineering Education in the Attainment of the SDGs The goal is still the same, but the playing field has changed. The achievement of SDG 4 can be seen as a core and integral part of achieving all other SDGs: education and awareness in sustainable development are key for further progressing the rest. Good quality engineering skills are needed to build a sufficient workforce (SDG 8) that will develop the infrastructure to enhance the living standards of people (SDG 9) and address global issues such as affordable energy (SDG 7), resilient cities and settlements (SDG 11), with adequate water and sanitation facilities (SDG 6). The role that engineering education plays in attaining the UN SGDs is growing in importance, now more than ever. Quality Assurance in Engineering Education How is quality measured in the virtual space? More importantly, how is it sustained? The quality of engineering education and accreditation of engineering programs are closely connected with the recognition of engineers’ degrees and professional competencies—preconditions for the international mobility of engineers. This session aims to help the engineering education community prepare for accreditations by becoming an avenue to learn about new processes and procedures, different quality assurance practices among Higher Learning Institutions (HEIs), the issues and challenges facing quality assurance today from the global perspective, and the various strategies and techniques to help in the development and institutionalization of effective 21st-century quality assurance approaches. Inclusion and Diversity in Engineering Education The importance of diversity and inclusion in engineering education has gained prominence in recent years due to the increased need for global collaborations and industry partnerships. Engineers of today are expected to work in diverse teams and within different cultures; thus, initiatives in engineering education aim to tear down divisions in gender, ethnicity, national origin, economic status, and physical and cognitive ableness. This panel discussion is a shared platform among global leaders allowing for the exchange of best practices and efforts toward achieving international learning outcomes in collaborations and bridging the industry-university gaps, thereby maximizing learning opportunities and stakeholder value all across. Matching Future-Fit Engineering Education with the CDIO Framework Conceiving, Designing, Implementing, and Operating: The CDIO framework has been proven to be a robust methodology in curriculum planning and outcome-based assessment. How will the engineering education framework weather the challenges introduced by the new normal? How adaptive is the CDIO framework—not only to today’s education setting but to tomorrow’s as well? Teaching and Learning in the New Normal: Best Practices in Southeast Asia Much is shared among the nations of Southeast Asia: cultures, economies, and technological capacity. To an extensive degree due to geographic and socio-cultural elements, the
