President’s Message
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Welcome to the IFEES website!
IFEES members hold the common belief that engineering, technology and innovation can change the world--and that it all starts with engineering education. We are committed to developing the locally pertinent, globally competent engineering professional. To do this, IFEES helps catalyze the innovation and reform of engineering education, help establish policies to enhance education and innovation, and support collaborative partnerships among global stakeholders.
During its few years of existence IFEES has had a key role in promoting and supporting a number of successful initiatives, including the Global Engineering Deans Council, the Indo-US Collaboration for Engineering Education, the formation of SPEED, a worldwide engineering student association and help establish the ASEE-NSF Industrial Postdoctoral Fellowship Program These initiatives have impacted or have the potential to impact engineering education, innovation and research with extraordinary outcomes. There are other initiatives beginning to evolve such as the EUGENE Erasmus project in Europe and the initiatives undertaking in India by ISTE.
With your ideas, commitment and support, I am hopeful that we will continue to address IFEES members’ key needs, continue to expand current IFEES initiatives, motivating members to participate in and contribute to these projects, as well as encourage members to propose and support new initiatives aligned with IFEES’ four strategic areas. These goals and strategies can only be addressed through teamwork, integration of a wide diversity of ideas and approaches, and through commitment of time, resources and passion. I count on these from each and every IFEES member society.
IFEES provides a forum for the discussion of ideas and best practices to enhance engineering education, innovation and research around the world through its member societies. If you are interested in becoming a member of IFEES, please contact the Secretariat, Hans J. Hoyer at h.hoyer@ifees.net.
Best Regards,
Lueny Morell
President of IFEES
