The International Forum on Engineering Education is a biennial international academic event cofounded by Tsinghua University, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and UNESCO. The Forum will bring together renowned scholars and leaders in the field of engineering education, engineering technology and technology management from all over the world, to have profound discussions of the innovation and development of engineering education, promoting the world's frontier scientific and technological innovation and taking the initiative to meet the major global scientific and technological challenges. The first three forums were held at Tsinghua University in September 2018, December 2020 and December 2022 respectively.

The Fourth Forum will be held from November 27th to 29th, 2024, at Shougang in Beijing, in conjunction with the 2024 Tsinghua Design Science Conference. This prestigious event will foster global dialogue on the transformation and development of engineering, alongside the cultivation of future-oriented engineering talent. The forum will facilitate in-depth discussions on key topics such as sustainable human settlements, engineering education, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Centered around the theme "Polymorphism: Urban Intelligence in the Foreseeable Future," the forum will address contemporary issues in urban renewal and spatial intelligence.

With a focus on built space interventions, the forum aims to advance research in decision science, computing science, cognitive science, and data science, contributing to the development of cutting-edge spatial intelligence through engineering education and management research. Eight focused sessions will explore themes including competency evaluation, decision science, engineering technology, computing science, professional certification, cognitive science, historical heritage, and data science. The forum will bring together leading scholars and experts to exchange insights and share knowledge, driving the future of urban renewal and intelligent space development.

The forum will also launch international journals, Design Science Vision, and Engineering Education Review, which aims to promote academic exchange in the field of design science and enhance the global impact of design disciplines, engineering technology and engineering education.
