Join ABET to explore the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and intentional community-building. This year’s theme focuses on addressing the complex challenges facing higher education and society through meaningful, actionable connections. Leave with more than just ideas — gain a new partnership, a concrete strategy, or a project to bring to life as we work together to shape an equitable and resilient future.

In honor of International Earth Day, the SEFI Special Interest Group on Sustainability invites the engineering education community to convene and explore the theme of “Educating for Sustainability: Beyond Knowledge and Technology.” Researchers, practitioners, and accreditation representatives will gather to explore the latest research on how socio-emotional competencies — including collaboration, empathy, resilience, adaptability, and flexibility — can redefine engineering education. They’ll share strategies for integrating sustainability into curricula and reimagine how we can prepare the next generation of engineers for a sustainable future.

On April 28, join Cindy Anderson, Engineering for One Planet (EOP) Co-founder and Strategy Consultant with The Lemelson Foundation to learn about the free, online EOP teaching resources — co-created and vetted by engineers, experts, and teaching faculty — that are bridging the gap in sustainability education for future engineers. You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the EOP initiative and the ways this growing community is working to support systemic change in engineering education so that every graduating engineer will be equipped with the skills, knowledge, mindsets, and experiences to protect and improve our planet and the life it sustains.

Participants of this workshop will gain hands-on experience applying the EOP Framework, foundational sustainability knowledge tailored for engineering, peer collaboration and idea exchange with faculty nationwide, and a new syllabus and learning tools aligned with EOP principles. Register by March 15, 2026.

This year’s theme is “Building the Future: Sustainable Chemistry for Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure.” The conference will feature 40+ technical sessions, dynamic keynote speakers, a vibrant poster session and reception, a startup showcase, and numerous networking opportunities with more than 700 expected attendees from around the world.

Join the largest global gathering of engineering educators for a dynamic program of papers, posters, and distinguished lectures. ASEE 2026 is your best opportunity to share research, explore new divisions, and connect with a community dedicated to advancing the future of engineering education.
