Foreword
WEEF & GEDC 2016 Seoul was the fourth biennial joint conference of the
International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) and the
Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC). Every two years, IFEES and GEDC
work together with local engineering and engineering dean societies to bring
engineering educationstakeholdersto oneplace tolead the global conversation on
topics ranging from the role of industry and government in engineering education,
diversity in engineering education, engineering education in the face of global-
ization, and the role of technology in engineering education.
IFEES is proud to be leading the effort in connecting the world’s engineering
education societies and leveraging our members’ collective strengths in order to
improve engineering education worldwide. IFEES members represent a diversity
not only in cultures, but in engineering education interests, from quality assurance
to engineering education and from pedagogy to the role of technology in the
classroom.
GEDC’s vision is to enhance the capabilities of engineering deans to transform
schools in support of societies in a global economy. Its mission is to serve as a
globalnetworkofengineeringdeans,andtoleverageonthecollectivestrengths,for
the advancement of engineering education and research.
This year, the Forum was organized by the Korea Society for Engineering
Education (KSEE) and the Korea Engineering Deans Council (KEDC). Meetings
took place from November 6–10, 2016, at the COEX, Seoul, Korea. The theme
of the 2016 Forum was Engineering Education for Smart Society.
Once again, the Forum invited several outstanding leaders from around the
worldtosharetheirexperiences.Wewerefortunatetohavethefollowingtobeour

vi Foreword
Is Smart Society the Goal?
Imagine the daily routine of Ms. Wang, the average woman working in any
major metropolis in the modern world. A smart speaker awakes Ms. Wang at
5:15 A.M. and immediately turns on the TV in the bathroom, which is set to the
news so that she can browse headlines as he brushes his teeth. She sits down to
breakfast,spooninonehandandmobilephoneintheother,checkingherschedule
for the day. She has a call with a colleague who lives five time zones away, and
decides to take the call from home before going into the office, as she has been
advisedbyhersmartspeakerthattrafficonherworkcommuteisheavierthanusual
today.Onthewaytotheoffice,shechecksworkmessageonherphone.Forlunch,
she and her coworkers take a self-driving taxi to a restaurant that was highly rated
on a crowd-sourced review site. At the office, all her work is done on the screen.
After a long day, she comes home to the sound of her favorite music, which her
smart speakers know to play upon her arrival.
In a society that values speed, efficiency, and convenience, this is a picture of
near-perfection.Undoubtedly,technologyhasaffordedMs.Wang(andmuchofthe
world) many conveniences throughout her average day. And yet, science is
showingthatthereareveritablesocialpitfallstotheoverexposureoftechnologyin
everyday life: diminished human relations, distraction, loneliness, impatience,
inability to cope with uncertainty, privacy issues, and information overload.
Reflecting on history, there is a pattern of one hand welcoming the wonders of
technology, while the other hand pushes aside the consequences. Advances in
transportation, air pollution; mass production, landfills; automation, decrease in
value of human workers.
If engineers help to create the technology that enables certain social ills, what
responsibility do they have to prevent technologies from being abused? And what
responsibility do we, engineering educators, have when considering the message
that we send to future generation of engineers?
These are the types of questions that motivate us to take a critical approach to
engineering and engineering education. This book brings together the best of the
papers from WEEF GEDC 2016, giving an in-depth look at the various facets of
engineering education.
