Organized annually, this conference fosters collaboration and knowledge sharing among leaders, faculty, and students from diverse educational institutions.
ICTIEE 2026 will feature insightful talks by distinguished leaders from academia and industry, providing an excellent networking and professional growth platform. The conference aims to bring together global experts and passionate educators to advance the quality of engineering education. Notably, the number and quality of research papers submitted to ICTIEE have steadily increased yearly.
ICTIEE 2026 will be hosted at GITAM Deemed to be University, Bengaluru Campus, Karnataka. The theme of ICTIEE 2026 is “Transforming Teaching and Learning Ecosystems in the AI-Driven World”.
As AI reshapes education, the 13th edition of ICTIEE embraces the theme “Transforming Teaching and Learning Ecosystems in the AI-Driven Era.” Building on IUCEE’s enduring mantra, “I am teaching… are they learning?” and over a decade of promoting student-centric education, this conference invites educators, students, researchers, and leaders to reimagine pedagogy for the future. With AI tools redefining engagement, assessment, and personalization, we must transform traditional classrooms into dynamic, inclusive learning ecosystems. ICTIEE 2026 will showcase innovations, research, and practices that ensure technology enhances—not replaces—the human touch in education, always keeping student learning at the centre.
