The ICACIT Symposium 2026 features five technical tracks that reflect the current challenges, emerging trends, and best practices in engineering and computing education, quality assurance, accreditation, digital transformation, sustainability, and industry engagement.

Researchers, academics, industry professionals, government representatives, and accreditation organizations are invited to submit original research papers, case studies, innovative practices, and applied experiences aligned with one of the Symposium’s thematic tracks.

TOPIC 1: Quality Assurance, Accreditation and Outcomes-Based Education in Engineering or Computing

Subtopics:

All manuscripts must be prepared using the official IEEE Conference Template (two-column format).
  • Accreditation frameworks (ICACIT, EUR-ACE, Washington Accord, IEAM…)
  • Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) implementation and assessment
  • Continuous improvement systems and quality analytics
  • Assessment methodologies and authentic assessment
  • Program evaluation and institutional effectiveness
  • Academic integrity in digital environments
  • Quality assurance in hybrid and online engineering programs
  • Diversity and inclusion metrics within accreditation systems
