Recommendations from the first Forum in Mysore were developed further at the second Forum in DC. Action Planning Forum II was held at the National Academy of Engineering, in Washington DC on August 29 to August 31, 2007, and was attended by 108 participants (24 from India) including 18 members of the business community. Dr. Chuck Vest, President of National Academy of Engineering (on video), Kris Gopalakrishnan, CEO and MD of Infosys Technologies (on video) and Dr. Frank Huband, Executive Director, ASEE, welcomed the participants. President Robert Dynes of University of California and Dr. R. Natarajan, former Chairman of AICTE gave keynote presentations. Dr. R. Buckius, Asst. Director for Engineering at National Science Foundation, Dr. Satish Kulkarni, Science and Technology Advisor to the US Embassy in India, Dr. Daniel Hastings, Dean of Undergraduate Education at MIT, Dr. Daniel Hodge, Associate Executive Director for ABET, Desh Deshpande, Founder and CEO of Sycamore Networks, and D.H. Shankaramurthy, Minister for Education, State of Karnataka were distinguished speakers. Dr. James Melsa, President and Dr. Sarah Rajala, President-Elect of the ASEE gave concluding remarks at the end of the Forum. Participants at the Action Planning Forum II recommended that several regional Indo-US Engineering Faculty Institutes be created as nodes for collaboration and for achieving the broader vision of the Collaboration. Potential programs to be offered at these Institutes were proposed and discussed. The states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have offered to host the first two pilot Institutes. Other states that have shown interest are Gujarat, West Bengal, Rajasthan, UP and Kerala.

The recommendations of the IUCEE Action Planning Forum were included as one of the projects to be supported by the Pan IIT organization. Presentations based on these recommendations were made at the Global IIT Convention at Santa Clara in July 2007 to various groups. A large number of IIT alums expressed support for the work of IUCEE.

IUCEE hosted a meeting at the ASEE Annual Convention in Hawaii in June 2007 in order brief interested ASEE members about the Indo US Collaboration and the upcoming Action Planning Forum in Washington DC in August 2007. More that 25 ASEE members were in attendance.

India's engineering schools took a step toward international recognition when their accreditation body, National Board for Accreditation, was made a provisional member of an elite international association at a meeting in Washington DC in June, 2007. The Washington Accord, which represents engineering-accreditation organizations in 12 countries, made the move on the recommendation of its Australian, Canadian, and British members, as well as the American Society for Engineering Education. Since 2005 the All India Council for Technical Education through the National Board for Accreditation, has been pushing to improve the quality of the country's technical institutions. The Indo US Collaboration for Engineering Education assisted in the process of their being accepted for provisional membership by reviewing the AICTE application as well as by lobbying with existing members of the Washington Accord.
