EADE 2021 Conference - Conference on Engineering and Architecture Design Education

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.

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 post-conference workshop for academic staff and higher degree students will be held in conjunction with the Conference 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
