Annual Conference
An annual conference is normally held in summer with 600 to 700 participants. The results of projects of the year are reported, panel discussions and visits are planned, in addition distinguished keynote speakers present speeches on stimulating topics.
JSEE has started to hold the International Sessions since 2006 during the annual conference.
The electronic files of past annual conference proceedings are available on Web (J-stage).
Investigation and Research
Themes in engineering education are selected and studied by forming special ad hoc committees. JSEE has been holding workshops on the themes such as Ethics, Communication, and Engineering Design. The interest group of each area has been formed and sharing the ideas.
Supply of Information on Engineering Education
Through its journals and annual conferences, JSEE publishes the news ofJapanese universities, the subjects taught in their faculties of engineering,the resources of technical manpower, and other reference materials.
Engineering Education Awards
