The Russian Association for Engineering Education
The Russian Association for Engineering Education (RAEE) is one of the leading All-Russian public organizations of the country, which unifies teachers, engineers and engineering specialists from universities, research institutions, industrial enterprises, technological parks, and other organizations interested in the development and improvement of engineering education in Russia. The organization of RAEE includes 60 regional departments of the Russian Federation subjects and seven branches of federal districts. The most important activity fields of the RAEE cover the following:
fostering the formation and development of new educational structures: entrepreneurial, academic, and other types of universities;
fostering the international accreditation procedure for educational institutions and certification of educational programmes, specialists and teachers of higher school; certification of quality management systems for training engineers and educational services;
developing international links and contacts in the field of engineering education encouraging universities to participate in the 6th Framework Program of the European Union.
These trends performed by the RAEE also reflect the scope of activity of the International Symposium.
