About

The Student Platform for Engineering Education Development (SPEED) in cooperation with American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) will gather 100 student leaders in Budapest, Hungary October 9th-15th, 2009 for the Global Student Forum (GSF) on Engineering Education to discuss this years's conference theme “Ensuring Equitable and Diverse Global Representation with Engineering Education”.

The GSF event is part of 8th ASEE Global Colloquium, which will draw academics, representatives from government, industry and non-profit organizations, and increasingly students from around the world to discuss issues pertinent to engineering education. With your help, we will bring student perspectives to this important global dialogue.

Through this one-week event, students will be a part of an international experience, submerged in the atmosphere of cross-cultural communication and creative thinking. Participants will take part in workshops aimed at providing them with tools to find innovative solutions with a global perspective and apply them in their local communities. They will get a chance to learn about already existing student projects, get involved and/or start their own regional and global initiatives with the aim of maximizing the student voice within the engineering education community.

The overall vision for the GSF is two-fold: to positively impact our student participants current position as budding global engineers eager to affect change within the engineering education and local communities; and to show the professional stakeholders that students are a much larger piece of this puzzle then they are currently given credit for and are entitled to a voice within the global engineering education dialogue.
