In Search of Global Engineering Excellence “Educating the Next Generation of Engineers for the Global Workplace”
Get to know the First Global Engineering Study. In October 2005 the Global Engineering Excellence (GEE) was started with a global team of eight international top universities from three continents – initiated by Continental AG. Our target was to uncover important facts about the importance of engineering in the world’s markets, the education of engineers on a worldwide basis and the needs for future engineering profiles, as well as to give recommendations for improvement for all stakeholders. And all this from a global perspective – for the first time ever.
Kick-off “On the road to championship”
10/13+14/2005 Continental AG has actively promoted young engineers for years. Together with eight leading universities this commitment has now been integrated into the Global Engineering Excellence initiative. For the official start, Continental and its partner universities have created a program that illuminates this subject from various international perspectives. In addition to background information about the “Global Engineering Study” as the world’s first
scientific study of its kind, a group of renowned discussion partners and a multifaceted program including the RoboCup Championship was presented to international journalists.
