WEEF 2017 was hosted by the Society of Engineering Education Malaysia (SEEM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), in collaboration with the Malaysian Council of Engineering Deans.

The 21st Century, with its novel Grand Challenges, the ever-complex systems and problems, is deemed as the age of collaboration. In preparing engineering graduates who are ready to face the current and future challenges, as demanded by stakeholders and accrediting bodies, there are numerous calls for academics and institutions of higher education to collaborate and synergize with various sectors in designing and organizing programs and curricula to meet the desired outcomes. In today’s complex world, success will only come with synergistic collaboration between the related parties.

The World Engineering Education Forum (WEEF) 2017 is a platform for bringing engineering educators and leaders, industry, governmental organizations and NGOs together to form fruitful and long-term collaboration, as well as to be involved with the larger international engineering education community. With the theme, “The Era of Synergistic Collaboration”, WEEF 2017 aimed to inspire international level cooperation among participants and form a lasting community in engineering education with the following systematic programs and activities.

Special sessions (roundtable discussions, forums, short workshops)
Networking & collaboration opportunity sessions
Exhibitions (industries, universities & research groups)

Parallel paper presentations & poster sessions (RCEE & RHEd, STEAMEC)
Closing: brief presentation of White Paper and handing over WEEF 2018 to USA.
