President’s Message
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Greetings!
I am honored to serve as the President of the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) for 2010-2012. We had our first General Assembly in my Presidency at the IFEES Summit in Singapore in October 2010. I was inspired by the enthusiasm and dedication of all the IFEES members present at that meeting. Setting a tone for my term as IFEES President, members have decided that they would like to network with and learn from other IFEES members about the best practices being used all over the world for improving the quality and global relevance of engineering education. Within their own organizations, these members plan to use their leadership to collaborate with other IFEES members and adapt these practices for their own member institution in their respective countries. My hope is to facilitate this process in a variety of ways by working with the IFEES leadership team. Together, we will continue to work to provide more opportunities for IFEES members to learn from the world’s best experts in the field of engineering education. IFEES fosters robust dialogue amongst members, and will continue to enhance engineering education through discussions at the IFEES Summits, at regional workshops as well as though use of modern technological networking tools such as Webinars, videoconferencing and web portals.
I welcome and encourage other organizations to become IFEES members and join in this collective effort to enhance the quality of the engineering talent needed for addressing the grand challenges facing the world today.
Best Regards,
Krishna Vedula
President of IFEES
