Founded in 1973, SEFI is an international non-governmental organisation under Belgian Law,.
SEFI aims and objectives are:
- to contribute to the development and the improvement of engineering education and of the position of the engineering professionals
- to provide appropriate services and to promote information about engineering education
- to improve communication and exchanges between teachers, researchers and students in the
various European countries - to develop co-operation between educational engineering institutions and establishments of
higher technical education - to promote co-operation between industry and those engaged in engineering education
- to act as an interlocutor between its members and other societies or organisations
- to promote the European dimension in higher engineering education
The diversity of courses, teaching methods and the freedom of choice for those involved are fundamental qualities and valuable assets that must be preserved. The Society serves as a European Forum and a service provider to its 250 institutional members, academic staff, related associations and industry.
SEFI organises Annual Conferences, seminars and workshops. Specific themes of engineering
education are studied by standing or ad-hoc working groups and committees :
- Curriculum development
- Continuing engineering education
- Ethics and Engineering Education
- Information and Communication-Technologies
- Mathematics and engineering education
- Physics and engineering education
- Women in engineering
- Accreditation of EE (ENAEE)
- SEFI Vision statement/Action Plan
- SEFI/IGIP Task Force
