He has also been the President of International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) from 2010 to 2012.

Dr. Vedula is well recognized globally for his contributions to engineering education, research, administration, and outreach. He is internationally recognized for his research in processing and properties of materials for high temperature applications, with particular emphasis on powder processing and inter-metallic compounds. He has been made a Fellow of American Society for Metals (ASM) and a Fellow of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) in recognition of these professional achievements. As dean of engineering at University of Massachusetts (1995-2003), he has demonstrated his leadership in building unique partnerships with businesses, K-12, state agencies, and other educational institutions. He was responsible for raising several millions of dollars for scholarships, endowments and facilities from private sources and for overseeing a significant improvement in the quality of students and faculty as well research and teaching facilities at the Francis College of Engineering. He is Founder of “Massachusetts STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) Collaborative” aimed at increasing the number of students in the state interested in pursuing science and engineering. This has now evolved into a program of the State of Massachusetts. Dr. Vedula has B.Tech (IIT Bombay, 1967), M.S. (Drexel University, 1969) and Ph.D. (Michigan Tech University, 1980) degrees in Materials Engineering. He has 30 years of academic teaching and research experience in materials science and engineering as well as engineering administration, including 10 years as a faculty member at Case Western Reserve University, 5 years as chair of the materials science and engineering department at Iowa State University, and 8 years as dean of an engineering college at UMass Lowell. Inaddition he has spent 2 years managing federal research and educational programs.

Ashok S. Shettar earned his PhD from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (India). He has three decades of experience in Engineering Education. His conviction and systemic practice of OBE have taken his Institution to greater heights in India. He has the experience of acting as resource person in workshops on outcome-based education in local, regional and national levels in India. He is an active researcher in Engineering Education.
