On Wednesday, 20 May 2009, the former UICEE Director, Prof. Zenon J. Pudlowski, currently Director of the WIETE, received a Deed of Assignment document in which Monash University transferred UICEE intellectual property and copyright on to him. Also, in its generous move Monash University passed the rights to use the symbol of the UICEE logo, as well as the possibility to use the name of UNESCO International Centre for Engineering Education (UICEE), with the latter being subject to the approval by UNESCO.

We are, indeed, grateful to Prof. Tam Sridhar, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Monash University, for his decision on this important matter, which allows the WIETE to become the rightful successor of the UICEE. Also, this decision opens up the possibility for the WIETE to continue most of the activities so successfully carried out by the UICEE over the last 15 years.
