Korea Society of Engineering Education

What Korea Society of Engineering Education does

Korea Society of Engineering Education (KSEE; 한국공학교육학회) is a South Korean private non-profit professional academic society (사단법인, incorporated association) founded in 1993 and headquartered at Ahnam Tower, Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The society serves engineering college professors, engineering education researchers, engineering colleges and departments, research laboratories, and the engineering-education industry (software, equipment, and textbook publishers). KSEE's core offerings are a peer-reviewed academic journal "Engineering Education Research" (공학교육연구) registered with the National Research Foundation of Korea and published six times per year on a continuous-submission basis, a quarterly magazine "Ingenium" (인재니움) covering engineering education trends, and an annual academic conference drawing approximately 500 professors, researchers, and students.

KSEE generates revenue through individual professional memberships, institutional "special member" sponsorships, conference registration fees and exhibition booth sales, journal subscriptions and submission-related fees, and award-program sponsorship. The society operates an Engineering Education Information Center (공학교육정보센터) that bundles the journal, magazine, issue analysis reports, domestic and international network directories, and community boards into a single portal. KSEE runs annual recognition programs including the Hansong-yeop Engineering Education Award (2 million KRW prize), Lee Ki-Jun Engineering Innovation Award (1 million KRW), the Women Engineering Education Award (1 million KRW), and a senior/current Fellowship Membership track. Distribution is conducted primarily through its official website (ksee.org), Naver Blog, Twitter/X, and annual in-person conferences.

Strategically, KSEE is structurally embedded in the Korean engineering-education ecosystem via partnerships with the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK), the Engineering Education Innovation Center (EEIC), the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE), the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT), and joint policy forums with the Science and Technology Policy Institute (STEPI) and the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training (KRIVET). The 2026 program is explicitly themed around AI-era engineering education, including a joint policy forum on "AI Era Engineering Education Innovation" and an annual conference titled "AI Interface Era, Redefining Empathy and the Future of Engineering Education."

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Australasian Association for Engineering Education (AAEE): The Australasian regional engineering education association running annual conferences and publishing research on engineering teaching. Comparable in scope to KSEE as a national/regional society serving engineering faculty and curriculum researchers.
• International Society for Engineering Pedagogy (IGIP): A global engineering education society focused on engineering pedagogy and faculty development across many countries. Directly comparable as a peer-reviewed-journal and conference-driven professional community for engineering educators.
• American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE): The US national professional society for engineering education, publishing peer-reviewed journals, hosting the flagship annual conference, and running awards programs. It is the most direct international analogue to KSEE in mission, product mix, and stakeholder base.
• Japan Society for Engineering Education (JSEE): Japan's principal engineering education society, publishing journals and hosting annual conferences for engineering faculty. KSEE's homepage directly links to JSEE, reflecting a closely matched mandate serving a neighboring engineering higher-education ecosystem.
• European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI): Europe's leading engineering education society, organizing the annual SEFI Conference and publishing on engineering pedagogy. It mirrors KSEE's academic-society, journal-and-conference operating model at a larger continental scale.

Regional players

• Association for Engineering Education in Southeast Asia and the Pacific (AEESEAP): Regional engineering education network linking societies across Southeast Asia and the Pacific. KSEE's homepage directly links to AEESEAP, indicating formal affiliation for cross-regional collaboration.

Others

• Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK): Korea's engineering program accreditation body and a documented KSEE strategic partner. While not a society, it sits in the same engineering-education ecosystem and shapes curriculum standards that KSEE's members teach to.

Broad incumbents

• IEEE Education Society: The IEEE's technical society focused on education in engineering and computing, publishing journals and sponsoring conferences. It is a much larger incumbent operating a broader portfolio in the same engineering-education category.
