Acreditação global de educação em engenharia

IEEE Painel de Educação convida a todos os cidadãos a enviar artigos ou papéis de alta qualidade que deve ser sobre investigação, inovação e boas práticas nos campos do ensino da engenharia.

O escopo do painel foca, mas não limitado a, os seguintes tópicos:

· Acreditação

· Globalization of Engineering Education

· Tendências Atuais no Ensino de Engenharia

· Garantia de Qualidade de Ensino de Engenharia


Modelos de acreditação existentes aplicados no ensino da engenharia em todo o mundo não são uniformes, não são transparentes e falta uma abordagem sistemática.

A acreditação de engenharia e tecnologia começou voluntariamente com a ajuda do Conselho de Acreditação de Engenharia e Tecnologia (ABET), nos Estados Unidos.

O "Processo de Bolonha" está trabalhando para construir o "Espaço Europeu do Ensino Superior (Área Europeia de Ensino Superior''-EEES).

É Relevante neste contexto o debate relativos à acreditação global de educação em engenharia. Convidamos você a enviar seus artigos.

IEEE EDUCATIVE PANEL CALL FOR PAPERS

CALL FOR PAPERS

2011 Educative Panel IEEE is seeking original submissions addressing the innovative researches and good practices in the fields of engineering education.

PANEL TOPICS

Papers are solicited on, but not limited to, the following topics:

Accreditation

Globalization of Engineering Education

Current Trends in Engineering Education

Quality Assurance in Engineering Education

CONTEXT

It has been observed that the current accreditation models implemented in

Engineering education worldwide are non-uniform, non-transparent and lacking a systematic approach.

The accreditation in engineering and technology commenced voluntarily with the help of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) in the United States.

 The `Bologna Process' is working to build up the `European Higher Education Area' (EHEA).

In this context it is relevant to debate on global accreditation of engineering education.

FORMAT

You are cordially invited to submit your documents from three to four pages and two columns in English or Spanish in the IEEE format.  Template:

http:// www.ieee.org / portal / cms_docs / pubs / confpubcenter / pdfs / samplems.pdf

IMPORTANT DATES

Papers should be sent by e-mail before August 20, 2011.

                           

The results of the review will be published on the web August 30, 2011.

Selected papers must be formally delivered by 15 September and will be published in thetransactions of the panel with ISBN registration in digital format.

Selected authors will participate in the PANEL on September 27, 2011 in Bogota, along with other guests.

POSTER PRESENTATION

Selected authors may submit their work in poster format. Models:

Engineering for the Americas Symposium

Stimulated by the globalization of the engineering profession and the industries that it supports, and by increased interest in trade between countries and regions in the American hemisphere, a grass-roots movement to enhance engineering and technology education in the hemisphere has been gathering momentum through discussions at conferences over the past four years. 

The movement has been dubbed “Engineering for the Americas”, and it has involved educators, industry representatives, government officials, and professional groups as it has evolved. 

The basic concept calls for engineers educated in high quality institutions in each country in the hemisphere, with quality assurance systems in place to guarantee consistently high caliber graduates. 

Mutual recognition of such engineering graduates across national boundaries, combined with cross-border trade agreements, will facilitate the flow of work and human resources throughout the hemisphere to optimal locations – for distributed economic development. This open mobility will then form the basis for a knowledge-based, hemisphere-wide economy, which is competitive in the overall global economy. Each country in the hemisphere, as well as the sum of all countries in the hemisphere, should benefit.


Recognizing the importance of this movement, the Office of Education, Science and Technology of the Organization of American States has worked with the previously ad-hoc group to formalize the “Engineering for the Americas” concept and program. 

A hemispheric initiative with this title was developed in meetings convened by the OAS in mid-2004, and incorporated in the Declaration of Lima and the Plan of Action of Lima, which were adopted by the meeting of Ministers and High Authorities of Science and Technology in November 2004. 

The initiative calls for enhancement of engineering education, development of quality assurance mechanisms, harmonization of degree patterns, fostering of innovation, and government commitment to providing necessary upgrading to engineering and technology education. It also calls for a major workshop during 2005 to address how to effectively implement these proposed actions.


A planning committee has been established by the OAS to organize and conduct the major workshop called for in the Lima Declaration – the “Engineering for the Americas Symposium”. It will be held in Lima, Peru during 29 November – 2 December, 2005.

ACTIVIDADES RECIENTES DE IEEE EDUCATION SOCIETY COLOMBIAN CHAPTER

En los últimos dos años se ha realizado con éxito el evento “PANEL EDUCATIVO IEEE”, en la Universidad Distrital, el cual ha iniciado las bases de la conformación de una masa crítica de actores en el campo de la educación de la ingeniería. Este evento ha sido organizado por IEEE Education Society, con la colaboración de IEEE Life Member y la Universidad Distrital. A este evento se han invitado como panelistas a docentes e investigadores en temas relacionados con la metodología, la didáctica y la tecnología educativa, y la historia de la enseñanza de la ingeniería.

Primer Panel Educativo IEEE en octubre del 2009 en Bogotá. De derecha a izquierda los panelistas: Jorge Luis Bacca, Juan Carlos Guevara, Liliana Fernández Samacá, Alfonso Pérez Gama. Los acompaña Germán Cabuya Parra, Presidente de IEEE EDUCATION CAPITULO COLOMBIA.

En octubre del 2010, se realizó el segundo Panel, Contando con la presencia del Director de Educación Media y Superior de la Secretaría de Educación del Distrito, del Decano de la Facultad de Educación y Ciencias de la Universidad Distrital, del Director del Grupo de Investigación en Energía de la Universidad Nacional, y de otros académicos.

En septiembre del 2010, en el evento internacional ANDESCON (IEEE ANDEAN CONFONFERENCE) en Bogotá, los presidentes de IEEE EDUCATION SOCIETY e IEEE LIFE MEMBER AFINITY GROUP estuvieron reunidos con el Dr. ROB REILLY, presidente mundial de IEEE Education y le plantearon la importancia de contar con un aval internacional a la iniciativa de conformar un cuerpo de acreditación en la región andina.

Actualmente un comité de IEEE busca estudiar la creación de un sistema de acreditación internacional para la región. Este comité es presidido por el Dr. Antonio Carlos Ferreira (Brasil) miembro de Engineering Acreditation Board y también forman parte, entre otros, el Dr. Teofilo Ramos, decano en la Universidad de Monterrey de México y el Dr. Alfonso Pérez Gama, decano en la Fundación San José y presidente de IEEE Life Member.
