International Federation of Engineering Education Societies

The origins of the federation may be traced to an early conversation in 2005 at the Global Colloquium on Engineering Education in Australia. On October 9, 2006, representatives from 29 organizations and three industrial affiliates based in 18 countries formerly established IFEES during the American Society for Engineering Education's Global Conference in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.{{cite web |url=https://peer.asee.org/2141 |title=Ifees: A New Alliance To Shape Global Engineering Education For The 21 St Century World |publisher=American Society for Engineering Education |date=2007-06-01 |access-date=2024-12-14}}{{cite web |url=https://peer.asee.org/3614 |title=Engineering Education Societies Becoming Global |publisher=American Society for Engineering Education |date=2008-06-01 |access-date=2024-12-14}}

In 2016, to mark its tenth anniversary, the federation published a report outlining the history, current status, and future plans.{{cite web |url=https://dev.ifees.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/IFEES_Anniversary_Booklet_web.pdf |title=Celebrating 10 Years of IFEES |publisher=International Federation of Engineering Education Societies |date=2016 |access-date=2024-12-14}} In 2016, representatives from 47 organizations and eight industrial affiliates reaffirmed their commitment to the shared mission.

The federation organizes the annual World Engineering Education Forum (WEEF) in partnership with the Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) and a local host university.{{cite web |url=https://peer.asee.org/5022 |title=Aligning Engineering Education Initiatives For Knowledge Economies: Outcomes Of The Ifees Global Engineering Education Summit |publisher=American Society for Engineering Education |date=2009-06-01 |access-date=2024-12-14}} And the federation partners with allies to design and conduct surveys and publish new scholarship on engineering education in a global context.{{cite web |url=https://peer.asee.org/17547 |title=Attributes of a Global Engineer |publisher=American Society for Engineering Education |date=2011-06-01 |access-date=2024-12-14}}

To recognize individuals who have made innovative and meritorious contributions with a significant impact on the advancement of engineering education, the IFEES selects an annual recipient of the Duncan Fraser Global Award for Excellence in Engineering Education. In 2015, the annual IFEES award became the IFEES Duncan Fraser Global Award for Excellence in Engineering Education. Fraser, who died on July 19, 2014, would have been IFEES’ 5th president.{{cite journal |title=In Memoriam of Professor Duncan M.
