For the first time in Lisbon – Portugal, the ISEL – Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa – provided an effective platform for communication among the world’s stakeholders in engineering education.

The 1st WORLD ENGINEERING EDUCATION FLASH WEEK brought together several important education international conferences:

  • European Engineering Deans Council;
  • European Society for Engineering Education-SEFI ANNUAL CONFERENCE;
  • International Federation of Engineering Education Societies- IFEES SUMMIT;
  • Asociación Iberoamericana de Instituciones de enseñanza de la Ingeniería- ASIBEI CONFERENCE;

We are honored to announce that our Rising to the Top book series has added TWO new volumes!

Rising to the Top provides an intimate and inspiring look into the experiences that have shaped the lives and careers of women engineering leaders from around the world. By openly sharing their personal journeys in these pages, the authors hope to not only inspire the next generation of engineering leaders, but also provide valuable insight into the challenges facing women engineers around the world, and the opportunities that are theirs for the taking.
