Irish Architectural Technology Educators Forum (IATEF)
Irish Architectural Technology Educator's Forum (IATEF) was formed following a series of architectural technology educators’ conferences in 2004, 2006 and 2008 with the aim of agreeing a consistent national standard for the emerging programmes in the discipline of Architectural Technology.
The formation of the IATEF has seen an increased involvement of Dublin School of Architecture academic staff in programmes nationally, including as external examiners on various architectural technology programmes including Waterford Institute of Technology, Galway Mayo Institute of Technology, Letterkenny Institute of Technology, Institute of Technology Carlow and Cork Institute of Technology.
All members of the IATEF were actively involved in the 2015 QQI Architectural Technology Expert Group and in the related public consultation process.
The IATEF comprises the following universities and institutes:
- Atlantic Technological University - ATU (comprising the former Galway Mayo Institute of Technology and Letterkenny Institute of Technology)
- Dundalk Institute of Technology
- Munster Technological University (formerly Cork Institute of Technology)
- Technological University Dublin - TU Dublin
