1. Advancing Global Engineering Education Research
How we teach is as important as what we teach, and student learning needs to be increasingly emphasized. However, historically, engineering education has focused mostly on “what” rather than “how.” Given the need for a major transformation in the preparation of the engineering workforce of the future, engineering educators need to learn to apply the same scholarly rigor to their educational innovations as they do in their technical fields. This track is intended to present global perspectives on infusing more scholarship into engineering education innovation.

2. Enhancing Global Engineering Innovation and Entrepreneurship
The world economy has dramatically changed over the centuries. An agrarian economy for many centuries became an industrial one over the last century, and now is quickly in transition to a service and knowledge economy. The role of engineers is also changing rapidly. Technical know-how needs to be supplemented with business savvy and social conscious. This track is intended to present global perspectives on infusing more innovation and entrepreneurship into the education of engineers, including consideration of the social, sustainable,
and political realities of a global community. May 4, 2007

3. Assuring Engineering Quality and Global Mobility
Engineers and engineering is practiced on a global scale. Thus, the quality of engineering education programs and the mobility of engineering professionals and engineering knowledge has become paramount. Increasingly, the engineering profession must view itself from a global perspective and it must prepare its graduates for the global workplace. This track is intended to present global perspectives on assuring quality in engineering programs, developing worldwide recognition of engineering accreditation, and preparing the next generation of engineers for a more mobile global workplace.
