Benefits to Hosting the Conference

  • Hosting the conference provides a number of benefits to the host campus.
    • Hosting the conference raises the visibility of Engineering Education engagement on your campus, including with senior university officials.
    • The university President, Faculty Dean, Department Head or other senior official has the opportunity to welcome and address the conference participants. The process of preparing the remarks often serves to deepen their understanding and appreciation of Engineering Education engagement and learning at your institution.
    • Hosting the conference raises the visibility and improves the reputation of your institution and your engineering program externally – within the region, with other universities and industry throughout the nation, as well as internationally.
    • The mayor or other elected official has the opportunity to welcome and address conference participants or sometime they may write a welcoming letter to include in the programme and proceedings. As with your University President, Dean or Department Head, this experience deepens that understanding and appreciation of the concerns and interests in Engineering Education and how students are taught.
    • Hosting provides the opportunity for a large number of your students, staff, and faculty to attend the conference.
    • Host campus staff and students who get involved in organizing the conference gain valuable leadership skills and experiences.
    • Hosting the conference is also an opportunity for your institution to support and advance the field of Engineering Education in Canada and even across the globe.
    • CEEA-ACEG has an agreement in place for a profit share between the host institution and the association. This is disclosed in the MOU.
