The role of International Cooperation in the Promotion of New Approaches in Engineering Education Worldwide

摘要

Many efforts to enhance engineering education have been developed in many places worldwide and the exchange of information is fundamental once it provides the dissemination of knowledge. There are many ways to get it but personal interaction is still the number one. It is important to establish new contacts to enhance the quality of any research once it is made by and for human beings. This is a work where the authors make a comparative analysis based upon five recent international conferences on engineering education. Brazil has a long history of participation into international educational communities of engineering in North America and in Europe thanks to the willingness to exchange ideas and promote good relations.
