The Conference

Under the joint patronage of the Faculty of Architecture at Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Bratislava, Slovakia, in collaboration with the Faculty of Architecture, Cracow University of Technology, Kraków, Poland, and the World Institute for Engineering and Technology Education (WIETE) organise jointly the 2018 Conference on Engineering and Architecture Design Education to take place at Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Bratislava, Slovakia, between 11 - 14 June 2018.

Several institutions and individuals, members of the WIETE, as well as other organisations are co-sponsors and supporters of the Conference.

Conference Co-sponsors include the following WIETE Partner Institutions:

  • Association of Taiwan Engineering Education and Management (ATEEM), Taichung, Taiwan
  • Commonwealth Science and Technology Academy for Research (C-STAR), Chennai, India
  • Piraeus University of Applied Sciences, Piraeus-Athens, Greece
  • Polytechnic Institute of New York University, New York, USA
  • University of Botswana, Gaborone, Botswana

It is anticipated that the number of Co-sponsors and Support Organisations will increase as several other institutions consider becoming involved in this endeavour.

This 2018 Conference on Engineering and Architecture Design Education builds on the series of extremely successful international conferences held in the past, such as the World Conference on Technology and Engineering Education (Kraków 2010, Ljubljana 2011, Athens 2014, and Bratislava 2015); the World Conference on Engineering Education (Sydney 1989, Portsmouth 1992, Minneapolis-St. Paul 1995); the East-West Congress on Engineering Education (Kraków 1991, Łódź 1993, Gdynia 1996) and, then, the Global Congress on Engineering Education (Kraków 1998, Wismar 2000, Glasgow 2002, Bangkok 2004 and New York 2006), to name a few. Based on such previous extensive experience, the present Conference is a continuation of the international effort of sharing and exchanging ideas, experiences and achievements within the international community of technology and engineering, as well as engineering and architecture educators in this case.

Areas of Interest

It is envisaged that the Conference will provide the participants with the opportunity to interact on all aspects of engineering and architecture design education, and such interactions as workshops, team work, panel debates, group discussions, individual presentations, and others, will be led and aided by several eminent international keynote speakers, leaders of the specific areas of interest. It is envisaged that a special conference workshop for higher degree students will be included in the Conference Programme at the same venue.

In accordance with the Conference aims and objectives, the following general areas of interest were identified for discussion:

  • International collaboration between academic and industrial organisations in engineering and architecture design education
  • Individual country’s achievements in engineering and architecture design education, and relevant case studies
  • Technological advancements and transfer across the world, and the participation of developing countries in this process
  • The impact on the future supply of qualified personnel for industry, commerce and services
  • The role and importance of engineering and architecture design education in sustainability and environmental protection
  • The interaction between academia and industry for the advancement of engineering and architecture design education
  • Alternative methods of education and training, and the promotion of continuing education of engineers and architects
  • Quality assurance, accreditation systems, ranking of academic institutions and the recognition of foreign qualifications
  • The role, nature and importance of research and development in engineering and architecture design education

Specific Topics

Suggested specific topics for the Conference include, but are not restricted to, the following:

  • curriculum design, implementation and evaluation;
  • the nature of cognitive processes, heuristics and creative thought;
  • the impact of specific new technologies on effective education and training;
  • problem- and project-based education and training;
  • community attitudes towards engineering and architecture design education;
  • the importance of academia/industry co-operation in engineering and architecture design education;
  • advanced, innovative and alternative methods and programmes of education and training;
  • the promotion of continuing and further education of engineers and architects;
  • work-based learning and the involvement of employers;
  • new technologies and advancements in the education and training process;
  • management and administration in engineering and architecture design education;
  • effective information transfer in engineering and architecture design education;
  • teaching instructions, laboratory procedures, design studios and equipment devised, developed and applied in teaching practice;
  • innovative design strategies and methodologies;
  • specific case studies.

It is anticipated that Conference papers will cover a wide and diverse range of topics, issues and ideas concerning contemporary problems and challenges in engineering and architecture design education that need to be identified, addressed and discussed. The coverage of specific topics should include, and make references to, professional, pedagogical and methodological matters, innovation and talent cultivation, results of unique educational research and development, as well as practical experiences gained in education practice.
