In a time of unprecedented technological growth and global challenges, the Technical Committee on Education in Engineering and Industrial Technologies is united by a commitment to revolutionize how engineering is taught, learned, and advanced. Our mission is to create a collaborative and innovative environment where teachers, students, and researchers can thrive together, equipped with the skills, resources, and inspiration needed to make impactful contributions to society.

For teachers, we strive to support the adoption of cutting-edge methods—like project-based learning, adaptive technologies, and virtual labs—that make engineering education more accessible, engaging, and effective. By providing upskilling opportunities, we empower educators to stay current with industry advancements and bring the latest knowledge into their classrooms.

For students, our focus is on developing immersive learning experiences that bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications. Whether through hands-on projects, open-source resources, or interdisciplinary collaboration, we aim to equip students with the critical thinking, creativity, and ethical awareness required to address complex global issues.

For researchers, we foster a vibrant community where innovative ideas in engineering education can be explored, tested, and shared. Through open educational resources and effective dissemination practices, we ensure that groundbreaking research in teaching and learning reaches classrooms worldwide, contributing to a global knowledge base.

Together, we are building a network of passionate educators, learners, and innovators who are ready to shape a sustainable, technology-driven future. By working collaboratively across academia and industry, this committee seeks to drive engineering education forward, creating opportunities for all and inspiring a new generation of engineers committed to making a positive impact.
