International Conference on Transformations in Engineering Education

Theme: “Transforming Teaching and Learning Ecosystems in the AI-Driven World”

January 7 to 10, 2026
Venue: GITAM Deemed to be University, Bengaluru Campus, Karnataka

The International Conference on Transformations in Engineering Education (ICTIEE) is a flagship program of the IUCEE Foundation. The Thirteenth International Conference on Transformations in Engineering Education (ICTIEE 2026) will be held from January 7 to 10, 2026. 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.

  • Name your files carefully. The source file names (e.g., “Rajesh.pdf”) are often embedded in the final output as accessible comments.
  • Use care in referring to your previous works as related works. Do not omit references to provide anonymity, as this leaves the reviewer unable to grasp the context. Instead, you can reference your past work in the third person format, just like any other piece of related work by another author. For example, instead of “Recently, we have proposed a new protocol [9] …,” sentences in the spirit of “Recently, the authors in [9] have proposed a new protocol …” may be used.
  • Papers with the same title and abstract should not be posted on a public website, such as arxiv.org, or shared via public mailing lists or communicated to other conferences/journals/publications.
