July 5-8   MIT, Boston USA Since 1994 our ISTE community has convened annually to discuss engineering for today's most pressing social and technical challenges.  The next TE conference will be held in the summer of 2022 on the MIT campus in Boston, USA. The theme for the TE2022 conference is “The Future of Engineering”. Engineering is changing rapidly.  The connectedness of the world's most critical systems along with rapid advancement of methods push us to ask “How will we teach, research, and practice engineering?” The recent decade has shown an ongoing shift towards model-based design, instrumented products and teams, data-driven analytics, rapid prototyping, and continuous delivery.  These changes are enabled on digital and physical platforms driven by distributed teams and open interfaces.  Transformations are underway in several industrial sectors, including energy, agriculture, health, and mobility. It is an The theme for the TE2022 conference is exciting time to be an engineer. We recognize the insufficiency of simple boundary crossing amongst traditional disciplines, given that engineers move beyond disciplinary norms established in the mid to late 20th century. Today we address systems in their context across a life-cycle, collaborate with a myriad of stakeholders and non-engineering experts, and -- for these most valuable and daunting challenges – generate new engineering disciplines. The conference will be organized across three tracks: A. Research on Engineering B. Engineering Education C.    Engineering Practice
The conference will also include keynote speeches, panels, and posters.

Call for Papers
Researchers, Academics, and Practitioners with novel contributions are welcome to propose papers by submitting abstracts before January 7, 2022. The TE conference series welcomes papers on topics that address transdisciplinary engineering topics. The abstracts and papers are peer-reviewed with a follow- on indexed publication.  In addition, several related journals will invite the top papers for expansion and refinement from the event for journal publication. Submission of abstract and papers on EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=te2022 Further details at https://te2022.org Inquiries at te2022@mit.edu A transdisciplinary engineering paper: . Addresses a real-world problem. . Involves multiple engineering disciplines and other fields relevant to the context of the engineered system (e.g. social scientists, economists, legal scholars…) . Integrates knowledge from across disciplines and stakeholders. . Demonstrates insights beyond a specific technical challenge, contributing emerging engineering principles and methods outside existing domains.
