About

We are the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies

IFEES was founded in 2006, at the American Society for Engineering Education’s Global Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. IFEES members represent a diversity not only in cultures, but in engineering education interests, from quality assurance to engineering education, from pedagogy to the role of technology in the classroom.

Our Mission

Connecting the world's engineering education societies to leverage our members' collective strengths to improve engineering education worldwide.

Our Community

We are a global network representing more than 85 stakeholders in engineering education from more than 30 countries.

Through the collaboration of its member societies, IFEES works to establish effective engineering education processes of high quality around the world to assure a global supply of well-prepared engineering graduates.

Engineering education associations

There is clear evidence that engineering education must quickly and effectively embrace a global perspective. Engineering education societies throughout the world are acutely aware of this need and are committed to delivering the highest quality education in science and technology to meet the needs of the 21st century and beyond.

Industry partners

IFEES provides the platform and venue for corporate members and engineering education leaders around the world to develop win-win industry-university collaborations across a wide spectrum of activities, including contributing to institutional and leadership capacity building.

Student associations

Students provide a unique opportunity for IFEES and its members to stay abreast of new trends within the very environment that they aspire to influence. These “engineers in the making” bring fresh ideas and the impetus not only to improve their own professional development, but to push the field of engineering within industry and academia in new and innovative directions.

STEM policy makers + other stakeholders

IFEES is at the forefront of engineering education development around the world and our community offers pivotal insight. Our work with a diverse range of stakeholders includes organizations and intergovernmental entities such as the World Bank, UNESCO, Organization of American States, among others.

Strtegic Plans

IFEES continually develops strategies to fulfill our mission and better serve our stakeholders. In this era of globalization, rapid technological innovation and grand challenges, IFEES is able to adapt to the ever-changing complexities and realities impacting engineering education globally, regionally and locally.

Tenth Anniversary Booklet

In 2016, IFEES published a booklet highlighting activities and initiatives during the first decade of the organization's existence.
