Meet with SEFI Upcoming annual conference • Scientific conference on engineering education in Europe • Technical University of Denmark • Early bird registrations – 17 July 2018 • sefi 2018. eu

Participate in SEFI Working Groups Attractiveness Enhancing the attractiveness of engineering education to potential students - academics, industrialists Ethics Indicating skills needed for ethical decision making and action. Gender and Diversity Identifying best practices to attract and retain female students and increasing gender awareness among academic staff Engineering Education Research European community of researchers of engineering education, work on European research projects Engineering Skills Updating a set of skills needed for successful integration into professional environment. Open and Online Education new technologies that provide more students with access to engineering education; new possible educational formats

Participate in SEFI Working Groups Continuing Education and Lifelong Mathematics Learning Role of Mathematics in EE and its practical Development and research into both theory and practice about CEE and lifelong learning Curriculum Development Becoming aware of the interests of students from different countries as well as those of a dynamic society Sustainability application in professional life, use of technology, the ways of teaching, learning. Physics It is a forum of sharing challenges and solutions and it organizes a PTEE conference on every two years. Quality Assurance & Accreditation Investigating the field of sustainability with Student and teacher mobility, qualifications respect to impact on engineering frameworks as well as the increase of the education. cooperation between institutions in EHEA

SEFI, Universities and Business Facilitating cooperation – in all our platforms Annual conference – regular round table meeting European Projects EBCC Model – strengthen the involvement of universities with steering the innovation in local businesses PREFER Project – reduce the skills mismatch in the field of engineering. Young engineering graduates often display a lack of selfawareness of who they are as an engineer.

SEFI helps catalyse European projects Consortium assembly, Project design, Administration, Meetings hosting, Dissemination PREFER Professional Roles and Employability of Future Enginee.
