The IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference is the third of a series of conferences that rotates among central locations in IEEE Region 8, Europe,
Middle East and North Africa. The theme of this third EDUCON2012 conference will be

“Collaborative Learning & New Pedagogic Approaches in Engineering Education”.

It will be hosted by University Mohammed V Souissi, Morocco in the period 17-20 April 2012.

The IEEE Education Society has created the EDUCON conference a few years ago.
The purpose of this conference is to create a top quality engineering education conference in the Region 8 area. This conference revolves among
sites in Europe, the Middle East, and, Africa. We have had successful EDUCON conferences in Spain, and in Jordan. Now the third conference will be held in
Morocco.
