SUMMARY:SASEE 2023 Conference
DESCRIPTION:  \nHumanity in Engineering Education\nAs we emerge from the global disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic and continue our journey into the 4th industrial revolution\, it is critical that we establish and maintain a balanced and sustainable connection between humanity and technology. During Covid\, we learned how critical interpersonal relationships and connections are to well-being and productive learning. We need to keep on interrogating our educational approaches in order to create healthy\, sustainable learning environments that meet the needs of the future of engineering education. \nWe are engaging with and relying more heavily on digital technologies in education and practice: AI\, smart systems\, data and digital twins\, to name a few. Our task as educators is to train engineers\, technicians and technologists who understand the related risks and our ethical responsibility to society and humanity\, to prepare future engineering professionals who can design and implement sustainable solutions for a more harmonious existence of all humans with nature. It is critical that the students who graduate from our engineering programmes have agency and purpose in the world\, that they are equipped to address the needs of society for the sustainable existence of equitable life on earth. \nThemes\n\nTechnology\, humanity and the planet: Responsibility\, sustainability and ethics\nWell-being in engineering education\nSustainable\, holistic learning experiences & environments\nDigital\, AI and smart education & learning\nThe Future of Engineering Education\nEngineers for the future\nGraduate attributes (including agency\, agility\, critical thinking\, flexibility\, purpose\, resilience)\n\nRegistration Closed\n[Registration includes SASEE membership for 2023 – 2025\, the Welcome Cocktail function (11 July)\, and 3-day conference fee (including workshops\, lunch & refreshments)]. \n  \nDetailed Conference Information: SASEE 2023 Humanity in Engineering Education\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Women in STEM in the time of the pandemic
DESCRIPTION:The United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR)\, the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES)\, and the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) are delighted to invite you to a virtual conference titled “Women in STEM in Time of the Pandemic – Facing Challenges\, Finding Resilience.” \nSee Conference Details and Registration HERE\nGender equality and the empowerment of women is a key component of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is addressed specifically through SDGs but is a cross-cutting issue through the other 16 goals. Yet\, progress has been slow in many sectors\, including in science\, technology\, engineering\, and mathematics (STEM). According to UN Women\, only 30 percent of researchers worldwide are women\, and only 35 percent of all students enrolled in STEM-related fields of study are women. Also\, recent studies have found that women in STEM fields publish less\, are paid less for their research\, and do not progress as far as men in their careers. STEM fields are a foundation to shaping our future: with digitalization and science playing a key role in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic\, ensuring gender equality in STEM has never been more vital. \nToday\, the pandemic is affecting women worldwide\, presenting a multitude of challenges in their everyday lives. Women in STEM face additional challenges such as precarious working conditions and maintaining work-life balance. But as we know\, women are also change-makers. Women working in STEM are using their knowledge\, experiences\, and networks to find new opportunities and create new spaces for innovation in their fields. \n“Women in STEM in the Time of the Pandemic – Facing the Challenges\, Finding Resilience” will highlight the challenges and opportunities for women in STEM as a result of the pandemic. It will explore how COVID-19 has affected gender equality and women’s empowerment in both positive and negative ways. This conference will present a unique platform for leaders and changemakers from diverse backgrounds – women and men\, senior and youth\, diverse nationalities – in STEM to come together\, share their experiences and perspectives on the pandemic and its impact on women working in STEM\, to help shape the future of this critical field. \n\n\nOpening Ceremony – 11:00 – 11:50 GMT\nCovid-19 and Women in STEM – Exploring Challenges and Opportunities \n\n\n\nAsia and the Pacific – 12:00 – 13:30 GMT\n\n\n\nEurope and the Americas – 14:00 – 15:30 GMT\n\n\n\n\nMiddle East and North Africa – 16:00 – 17:30 GMT\n\n\n\n\nAfrica – 18:00 – 19:30 GMT\n\n\n\nClosing Ceremony – 19:30 – 20:00 GMT
