SEFI is the European Society for Engineering Education. Its aims are

to promote information on engineering education
to improve communications and exchanges between teachers, researchers and students
to develop cooperation between engineering educational institutions
to promote cooperation between industry and educational institutions
to contribute to the development and to the improvement of engineering education in the economic, social and cultural framework of Europe.

SEFI Mathematics Working Group

The SEFI Mathematics Working Group was established in 1982.

Mathematics is at the heart of engineering, being both a language for the expression of ideas and the means of communicating results. An effective study programme in mathematics for all engineering students is a necessary requirement for the education of qualified engineering graduates capable both of innovation and of adaptation to changing technology.

Uncertainty is an essential feature of the engineering environment and for this reason the fields of probability and statistics are included in the Working Group's domain of interest.

Aims of the Working Group include

to provide a forum for the exchange of views and ideas amongst those interested in engineering mathematics,
to promote a fuller understanding of the role of mathematics in the engineering curriculum, and its relevance to industrial needs,
to foster co-operation in the development of courses and support material, in collaboration with industry,
to recognise and promote the role of mathematics in the Continuing Education of Engineers.
