Drivers of Change -- Why IUGREEE?
The inexorable rush toward globalization with all its profound
implications for industry, academe and government
Explosive growth, uses, and advances of information and
communications technologies
The advent of an efficient, truly global transportation system
The ubiquity and power of and reliance on computing
technologies
The changing demographics of world and national populations
A growing awareness of the limitations of natural resources
available and of global environmental consequences of economic
and population growth

The specific objectives of the IUGREEE are to:
Articulate and draw attention to critical issues that will
affect engineering education as perceived from an
evolving industrial perspective
Develop action agendas to accomplish needed reform
in engineering education
Facilitate implementation of these agendas through
existing organizations and mechanisms i.e. use existing
resources to the maximum degree possible

INDUSTRY - UNIVERSITY - GOVERNMENT ROUNDTABLE FOR
ENHANCING ENGINEERING EDUCATION
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
The undersigned representatives of industry, higher education, government agencies, professional societies and other
interested parties recognize that institutions of higher education play a critical role in preparing engineers for the challenges
presented by the rapid pace of technological development, the changing and evolving needs of industry and society, and the
overall demands for engineering excellence in the next century.
Further, we share the belief that the availability of quality engineering education is enhanced when those who rely upon and
benefit from engineering education cooperate with institutions of higher education to enable engineering education to adapt in a
timely and responsive manner to evolving technologies, new engineering developments, innovative teaching methodologies and
emerging requirements for engineering excellence in industry and society at large.
Toward this goal, we hereby agree to work together to encourage and facilitate efforts by institutions of higher education to
adapt engineering education programs to the changes and requirements of new technological developments, evolving
technologies and new and developing demands for engineering excellence in industry and society.

Priority Initiative: Develop an industry validated vision of
engineering practice in the year 2010
Team Leader: Policy and Steering Team Leader
Team Members: Policy and Steering Team
Maturity Matrix
Year Year 2010 Realization
The vision of engineering practice of the future as developed by the IUGREEE has
2010 stimulated reform in engineering education at most major universities
The IUGREEE engineering practice vision has been extended to the year
2007 2020.
The IUGREEE 2010 engineering practice vision is widely accepted as an
2004 engineering education reform driver.
An IUGREEE vision of engineering practice in 2010 that is widely accepted
by industry is communicated to all engineering schools and other relevant
2001 groups.

Year Year 2010 Realization
The engineering education reforms have been internalized and are
2010 an integral part of all engineering accreditation
All action team goals for 2006 are met with work that is effectively
2007 coordinated and if necessary adjusted for maximum value
All action team goals for 2004 are met with work that is effectively
2004 coordinated and if necessary adjusted for maximum value
All action team goals for 2001 are met with work that is effectively
2001 coordinated and if necessary adjusted for maximum value

Questions to Ponder and Answer
What other existing organizations and/or meetings
should we partner with to:
a) validate the IUGREEE vision of engineering practice
b) develop action agendas to reform engineering education
c) facilitate action
and how can we get this done?
Who and how should we recruit for service on the
action teams and council of IUGREEE?
