I am very happy that the Forum is being held at Tsinghua University. Today, I can think of no university better than Tsinghua University to call on the young people and women to participate in engineering education. We can see that China is in a constant process of change, and engineering is one of the key engines that can constantly drive and facilitate the process of change. Now the COVID-19 pandemic is having a major impact on education around the world, including engineering education. We also see that equality in engineering education is an important topic, especially in the developing countries.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr Marlene Kanga, President of WFEO 2017-2019, made a presentation on \u201cEngagement, Enlightenment and Empowerment \u2013Encouraging More Young People Especially Girls to Consider Engineering as a Career\u201d and the work that WFEO has been doing to transform the engineering education benchmarks to make them more inclusive and to communicate the important message of the key role of engineering in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This makes engineering a career of importance, with purpose and impact.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gong-ke-Speaks-at-ICEE-Symposium.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1585\" height=\"996\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gong-ke-Speaks-at-ICEE-Symposium.png 1585w, https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gong-ke-Speaks-at-ICEE-Symposium-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gong-ke-Speaks-at-ICEE-Symposium-1024x643.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gong-ke-Speaks-at-ICEE-Symposium-768x483.png 768w, https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gong-ke-Speaks-at-ICEE-Symposium-1536x965.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1585px) 100vw, 1585px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nProf Gong Ke, WFEO President speaks at the ICEE Symposium on  Engineering Education 1st March 2022.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<i>Contributed by: Dr Marlene Kanga WFEO President 2017-2019<\/i><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>For more information:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"fa fa-file-pdf-o fa-2x\" style=\"color: #115578;\"><\/i> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/Events\/ICEE_Newsletter_2022_No5_Expanding_the_Boundaries_of_Engineering_Education.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color: #115578;\">ICEE Newsletter 2022 No5 &#8211; Expanding the Boundaries of Engineering Education<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\nThe International Centre for Engineering Education (ICEE) a UNESCO Category 2 centre based at Tsinghua University, Beijing and a partner of WFEO, hosted its 2022 Academic Forum on Engineering Education and Engineering Culture with the theme &#8220;Engineering Education Reform and Sustainable Development &#8211; Call for Young People and Women to Participate in Engineering Education&#8221; on 1st March 2022.<br \/>\nThis event was held as part of the celebrations of World Engineering Day for Sustainable development, 2022.<br \/>\nMany important leaders spoke &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30959,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[85,169],"tags":[96,95],"class_list":["post-30278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-event-report","category-homepage","tag-goal-4","tag-sdgs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ICEE Symposium on Engineering Education to celebrate World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 2022 - WFEO<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wfeo.org\/icee-symposium-on-engineering-education-to-celebrate-world-engineering-day-for-sustainable-development-2022\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ICEE Symposium on Engineering Education to celebrate World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 2022 - WFEO\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The International Centre for Engineering Education (ICEE) a UNESCO Category 2 centre based at Tsinghua University, Beijing and a partner of WFEO, hosted its 2022 Academic Forum on Engineering Education and Engineering Culture with the theme &#8220;Engineering Education Reform and Sustainable Development &#8211; Call for Young People and Women to Participate in Engineering Education&#8221; on 1st March 2022.
