| Description: | "The aims of the International Society for Engineering Education IGIP are improving teaching methods in technical subjects developing practice-oriented curricula that correspond to the needs of students and employers encouraging the use of media in technical teaching integrating languages and the humanities in engineering education fostering management training for engineers promoting environmental awareness supporting the development of engineering education in developing countries New competencies of educators are needed as evaluation management development competencies communication skills teamwork ethics and intercultural competencies IGIP wants to intensify the international cooperation with other societies dedicated to engineering educations, such as SEFI, the European Society for Engineering Education, or IFEES The International Federation of Engineering Societies. By passing the curriculum as proposed by IGIP in any accredited institution worldwide, IGIP states that a given engineering educator with an ING-PAED IGIP title has all the competencies needed to teach at the state of the art with the best available teaching technologies. IGIP offers also symposia on national and international level, and a Summer School. IGIP has established working groups on different topics of engineering education." |

" The International Society for Engineering Education IGIP was founded in 1972 at the University of Klagenfurt (Austria) by Adolf Melezinek. Establishing an engineering pedagogy was a step forward at that time, engineering and pedagogy had never been linked before on a scientific level. What is meanwhile known worldwide as the "Klagenfurter Ingenieurpädagogische Schule" (Klagenfurt School of Engineering Pedagogy) had been established starting with the 1. International Symposium of Engineering Pedagogy in 1972, symposia of IGIP are now held each year. Even in the seventies of the 20th century European integration and standardized profiles for educators were seen as most important factors of education, training and learning. So the International Society of Engineering Education created an international register of engineering educators, which since then guarantees minimum standards in technical expertise and a well-balanced competence profile for engineering educators. The register lists qualified educators who had gone through a curriculum which has been approved by IGIP. Those registered are International Engineering Educator and can use the title ING-PAED IGIP. IGIP accredits training centers for "International Engineering Educators", whose teaching matter conforms to IGIP's curriculum for engineering pedagogy. From 1972 till today (2006) IGIP has members in 72 countries, and has consultative status with UNESCO and UNIDO, too. " |
