IEEE Education Society Portugal Section and the DCIS'2021 Organizing Committee organized a panel on the title "The Legacy of Pandemics for Engineering Education". The pannel will discuss and reflect on what has been done to deal with the pandemic situation, and can be carried further away and influence Engineering Education in the future: things that we started doing or that we didn't do a lot but had to do more frequently during the pandemic that provide an experience that can now be used,... In other words, what has the pandemic forced us to do that can help us in doing our job better in the future? What tools, approaches or strategies this situation has shown that are needed, or that provide good results? The panel is composed of: Alfredo Soeiro - FEUP (Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto) Edmundo Tovar - UPM (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) Manuel Gericota - ISEP (Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto) Rosa Vasconcelos - UM (Universidade do Minho). The moderator will be the Chair of Portugal Chapter, Pedro Fonseca. https://web.fe.up.pt/~dcis2021/program/    

IEEE Portugal Education Chapter will be present at the INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON INNOVATION, TRANSFER AND RESEARCH IN UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN ENGINEERING, to be held in Elche, Alicante, on the 29th November. This workshop aims at promoting international activities among IEEE Education chapters (Portugal and Spain) and associations like SPEE, among others, building on the success of TICAI and other activities well known recognized by IEEE EdSoc. The workshop will present novel activities, successful use cases and promote interaction regarding education in engineering in Portugal and Spain respectively. Also it will be an opportunity to discuss experiences and key challenges like innovation in education during COVID period. https://cio.umh.es/2021/11/22/international-workshop-on-innovation-transfer-and-research-in-university-education-in-engineering/
