Developing the next generation of engineering experts and leaders
Essential Support From Industry
Over 3 days, the first Global Engineering Deans Council (GEDC) Industry Forum provided global industry, HR, and academic leaders a platform to exchange, learn, and share ideas about how to collaborate to best develop the next generation of engineers. Invited delegates from global companies and innovative SMEs, along with engineering Deans from around the world came together to share knowledge, network and identify partnership and collaboration opportunities.We were able to launch this much-needed forum thanks to the support of our industry partners Total, National Instruments and Boeing who played a key role in leading discussions and shaping the event.
Creative Dialogue Around 8 Key Themes
The overarching aim of the Industry Forum was to draw on the collective strengths and expertise of every delegate present, ensuring that each and every voice was heard and every creative idea captured.
Dynamic Design Groups were created to discuss a series of eight themes developed by the Industry Forum working group led by Petrus Communications Founder and CEO Kirsten Williamson. In this film you can see the collective output summed up by our talented illustrator on the spot.

100% of participants – senior industry and education leaders – said they were certain or highly likely to participate again.
Total is a leading energy player on the international stage, and the fifth-largest publicly-traded integrated international oil and gas company in the world. Almost 100,000 Total employees leverage their knowledge and expertise to discover, produce,refine and convert oil and gas into products and services for customers worldwide. Total is also developing energies that can partner oil and gas —today, solar energy and tomorrow, biomass fuels. As a responsible corporate citizen, Total focuses on ensuring that its operations consistently deliver economic, social and environmental benefits.
NI empowers engineers and scientists with a software-centric platform that incorporates modular hardware and an expansive ecosystem. This proven approach puts users firmly in control of defining what they need to accelerate their system design within test, measurement and control. NI’s solution helps build high-performance systems that exceed requirements, quickly adapt to change and ultimately improve the world.
