1995 ASCE Educational Confierence
The Educational Conference of the American Society of Civil Engineers will take ptace in Denver, Colorado, USA from July 8 - 11 , 1995.
The aims of the 1995 conference are to
By improving civil engineering education, which forms the foundation of professional practice, the position of the civil engineering profession will be enhanced.
Any member and/or friend of the ASCE, who has strong feelings about an issue related to civil engineering education is encouraged to submit a short position paper to Mr. Charles Day, ASCE, 345 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017-2398, USA by the end of 1994.
The ASCE would welcome the active participation of the AECEF and its members in this Conference.
The 1st AECEF Symposium (Prague, September 1995) will continue the work begun at this conference and will enable its participants to exchange ideas on problems concerning the education of civil engineers.

Exchange of students between AECEF Member Universities
Contacts and cooperation among AECEF member universities have already begun to develop in the field of exchange of students:
on the basis of an agreement between the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague and HeriotWatt University in Edinburgh (UK), three students from Edinburgh participated in a one-year study programme at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Prague in the 1993/94 academic year. Their studies in Prague formed part of their Master's Course in Civil Engineering with European Studies, covering reseach, design and independent study in the fields of geotechnics, hydraulics, construction materials, construction technology and town and regional planning;
Joint SEFI-IGIP Annual Conference
Joint SEFI Annual Conference and IGIP Annual Conference "Visions and Strategies for Europe" will be held at the Czech Technical University in Prague in September 21 - 23, 1994. The general theme of the Conference is an examination of the first five years of the new East-West partnership in engineering education. The Conference will provide opportunities to discuss aspects of engineering education and to meet partners cooperating in the Tempus II programme. The Conference will host meetings of the IGIP and SEFI working groups.
