Special Track
“IT and Engineering Pedagogy (ITEP'14)
Focus
The main goal of the International Society for Engineering Education Special Track @ EDUCON 2014 is to offer an open discussion and a reflection in the use of Information Technologies in Engineering Education and their appropriate Pedagogy. It also intends to foster the involvement in continuing education, bridging the gap between higher education and learning on the workplace by focusing the IT use on lifelong learning and training. At K-12 levels this session intends to evaluate the impact of IT in fostering the engagement of younger people in the field of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
At any level it is important to evaluate the IT power in facilitating the collaborative work everywhere.
Finally, it is relevant to consider the IT potentiality in improving engineering education conditions in developing countries and for those people with special needs.
