Abstract
Globally there are a significant number of engineering and STEM related initiatives and organisations with each organisation having a particular emphasis, audience or approach regarding development of education in these fields. All however aim to share ideas and best-practice among engineering educators so improving the overall learning experience of their students. By analysing the nature of the organisations it is hoped synergies can be found to more formally encourage organisations to share ideas while still retaining distinct identities and focuses. At the SEFI 2016 conference in Tampere the issue of exploring and developing links between SEFI and CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate) was raised. This paper will share work being done towards a SEFI (European Engineering Education Society) position paper to improve the links between it and the CDIO initiative.
