The Colloquium provides engineering and language educators, international program administrators, deans, provosts, presidents, corporate leaders, public sector representatives and students common ground to talk about educating engineers for today’s global workplace. The annual colloquium meets every other year in Rhode Island, alternating with partner schools across the country:
