Conference Agenda

The rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and particularly Generative AI (GenAI), is fundamentally reshaping the foundations, methods, and objectives of engineering education. This transformation calls for a comprehensive rethinking of key dimensions such as accreditation, assessment, and degree recognition, where new competency-based models and dual-degree programs are emerging to support lifelong and flexible learning.\nAt the same time, AI is challenging traditional teaching and assessment models. Undergraduate engineering education and curriculum innovation are increasingly focused on personalized learning experiences, adaptive instruction, and hybrid educational environments supported by digital technologies, including remote laboratories and e-learning infrastructures that expand both access and educational quality.\nHowever, these technological advances also make it more urgent than ever to integrate ethics and social responsibility into engineering education, preparing future engineers to address issues such as algorithmic bias, societal impact, and the governance and regulation of intelligent systems.\nIn parallel, stronger collaboration among government, industry, and academia has become essential to ensure the relevance of engineering programs and the effective governance of engineering education in rapidly changing environments. Finally, AI offers new opportunities to enhance student recruitment, retention, and diversity through more inclusive, data-driven strategies, shaping a new paradigm in which engineering education not only adopts emerging technologies but also redefines its mission: preparing professionals capable of leading the technological transformation of society.
