Education Management - Tehran, Tehran Province, Iran
In the last few decades, significant development in science and technology has seriously challenged modern engineering. An engineer is now expected to master a wide variety of complex and multidisciplinary sciences and take many additional considerations such as sustainable development and environmental impacts of engineering activities and artifacts into account as well. Transforming the dominant quantitative development in engineering education to that of qualitative enhancement in Iranian universities has been a major challenge for policy makers. Fortunately, efforts towards this transformation have resulted in a better balance between the number of university applicants and the admission capacities of higher education institutions. In the current competitive atmosphere, engineering education applicants look for better quality of education. To respond to such a demand, a fundamental change in all aspects of the engineering education is unavoidable. The Iranian Society of Engineering Education aims to play an important role in this transition period and, therefore, has joined other international organizations, e.g. the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), to contribute to the promotion and improvement of engineering education at both national and global scales. Aims:- Promoting the quality of engineering education in Iran; - Promoting targeted research projects on engineering education;- Monitoring the engineering education status in Iranian universities and industries;- Promoting innovative methods in engineering education;- Promoting engineering education assessment;- Promoting the internationalization of engineering education;
