This book presents selected papers from the 'World Engineering Education Forum & Global
Engineering Deans Council ' held in November 2016 in Seoul Korea. The massive changes
currently underway in all areas of society especially in engineering (and consequently in
engineering education) call for new pedagogic qualifications and approaches. To face these
current real-world challenges higher education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond
to these new needs. The papers gathered here address three essential problems:- The main
approach to engineering in the 21st century is collaboration - at many levels within
universities or colleges between institutions and on a global scale. At the same time we
need a new quality of collaboration between academia industry professional and governmental
organizations. - The complexity of engineering projects and solutions is rapidly growing and
increasingly includes non-technical aspects. - One of the key tasks for future engineers will
be the development of a sustainable society which is essential to keeping the global
environment in balance.
