10th Annual ASEE Global Colloquium on Engineering Education, October 24-26, 2011, Shanghai, China

Dear 2011 Global Colloquium Participants:

The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) invites you to the annual Global Colloquium, which brings together the world's leaders in engineering education. This year’s Colloquium will take place in Shanghai, China at the Shanghai International Conference Center. This year, ASEE is partnering with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, working under the theme of "The Future of Engineering Education in the Age of Globalization".

The colloquium, held previously in Beijing, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Istanbul, Cape Town, Budapest and Singapore, with the assistance of engineering education organizations from the host country, links engineering educators across international borders and brings together teachers, researchers and corporate colleagues who would otherwise never have an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas and perspectives.

Abstract submission must take place through Monolith, ASEE’s paper management system (click on the 2011 Global Colloquium).

The colloquium theme will be explored in three tracks:

1. The Future Engineering Curriculum in the Age of Globalization and Grand Challenges
   Speakers: Professor Quyuan Ye & Provost Karan Watson
2. Engaging Engineering Students with 21st Century Global Experiences
   Speakers:Professor Shouwen Yu & Dean Darryll Pines
3. International Partnerships and Mobility
   Speakers: Professor Jin Chen & Professor Robert Parker

Coalitions and partnerships, both inter and intra, between the academy and a range of stakeholders are central to the success of these efforts. Contributions describing successful implementation of creative strategies are invited in each area, preferably making references to the task of meeting humanity’s growing appetite for clean energy and clean water.

When submitting your abstract/paper if you have any questions or concerns regarding the submission process, please contact me at my contact information provided below only after viewing the information in the Author’s Kit.

We hope to see you in Shanghai, China this October!
