INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON QUALITY ASSURANCE IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION THROUGH ACCREDITATION-III
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON QUALITY ASSURANCE IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION THROUGH ACCREDITATION-III
BACKGROUND
Bangladesh boasts to be the fastest developing economy in South Asia. Major elements of civilization that Bangladesh needs to possess to gear this progress are being identified and constructed. Achieving excellence in new developments can reduce the cost of redevelopments at the end of the lifecycle and hence make the entire process more sustainable. Apart from the monetary benefits, this will also utilize resources efficiently, fight with climate change challenges and be in line with the UNSDG goals. Engineers must play their roles in making progress towards these goals. The engineers of the near future need to demonstrate the capacity to develop solutions for problems with enormous complexities not only in environmental and economic contexts but also in the societal context. To achieve this, our engineering education system will need further transformation. This will equip our engineers with the required attributes in the job market, both at home and abroad.

ORGANIZATION AND OBJECTIVES
The upcoming symposium focuses on discussing how our engineering education curriculum embraces the challenges of SDG goals, how to better address the issues and how to fill up the gaps. International Engineering Alliance has introduced new graduate attributes keeping the attainment of professional competencies as the far reaching vision. The accreditation system will also therefore see a departure in the coming era. We wish to discuss all in depth with you in the contexts of past, present and future scenarios so that we can achieve a smoother transition, which is a necessity for making progress toward our national and global goals.
