SPEE Track Session
"Talking about Teaching 2014" (TaT’14)
Focus
The 3rd edition of Track Session Talking about Teaching 2014 (TaT’14) within the Annual Conference IGIP2014 aims to promote the discussion on Engineering Education by providing an opportunity for debating and sharing approaches, developments and experiences. The Organizers, being responsible for the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (SPEE) working groups (IT in Engineering Education and Lifelong Learning in Engineering Education) and actively involved in the International Society for Engineering Education (IGIP), promote this Special Track in line with the mission of both Societies.
The proposed topics are concerned not only with resources in engineering education (EE) and with the constant demand on the use of technology, but also with the effectiveness of knowledge in order to guaranty simultaneously the diversity and inclusion in engineering education, teachers professional development, the perspective of EE oriented for STEM and the spirit of engineering leadership in society.
One of the Special Track Sessions will incorporate a round table under the umbrella of “Integrating Students in Conferences’ Environment”. For those motivated with this topic submissions will be considered to be integrated in the round table or for normal presentation.
