IACEE Description

The authors, current and past President of the International Association for Continuing Engineering Education (IACEE), present an overview of the managerial issues concerning IACEE (www.iacee.org). IACEE is an independent, non-governmental, non-profit organization, the objective of which is to support and enhance lifelong technical education and training and advanced engineering education world-wide.

The founding process of IACEE was initiated already in 1986, as a means to secure the continuation of the triennial World Conferences on Continuing Engineering Education. The idea received strong support from UNESCO and its International Working Groups on Continuing Education of Engineers and Technicians, and on Engineering Education and Industry Cooperation. From the very start, several international organizations within the field of engineering education actively promoted the new association. The Charter was signed during the opening session of the 4th World Conference on Continuing Engineering Education on May 17, 1989 in Beijing, China.

The Founder Organizations are regional organizations, which support and enhance the provision of continuing engineering education: IACEE is recognized by UNESCO and by UNIDO as an international non-governmental organization. IACEE receives its principal support from various national, regional and international organizations engaged in continuing engineering education. The purpose of IACEE is to support and enhance lifelong technical education and training, and
