Themes of the 2011 IFEES Summit:

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, engineering plays a significant part in moving society. The issues faced become more global, the variety of voices, thoughts, ideas, and opinions develop a diverse community.

• SUSTAINABILITY - Engineering play a significant part in moving society to a more sustainable way of life, minimizing the environmental impacts of products, process and energy systems and simultaneously maximizing the benefits to social and economic stakeholders.
  
• MOBILITY - Businesses have to compete and collaborate on a global scale, and operate across national and international borders with organizational environments being increasingly complex, dynamic and with more interdependencies. Mobility andinternational experience gives students the opportunity to be immersed in other cultures, with exposure to different and unfamiliar situations and different approaches to problem solving.
