The Global Student Forum: A model for developing student leaders in engineering education

摘要

The Global Student Forum (GSF) is a three-day event organized by the Student Platform for Engineering Education Development (SPEED). Students come to GSF from all over the world to participate in a series of workshops, discussions, and presentations, culminating in the creation of action plans. The chief aim of these projects is to enable students to become a factor of change in the development of engineering education (EE). This event is subsequently followed by the annual congress of WEEF (World Engineering Education Forum), which is organized by IFEES (International Federation of Engineering Education Societies) and other partner organizations. Apart from the GSF, our principal event, we organize forums on national levels, such as the Indian Student Forum (ISF) or the Argentinian Student Forum (ASF), as well as regional workshops on an annual or provisional basis.
