It is anticipated that the number of Co-sponsors and Support Organisations will increase as several other institutions consider becoming involved in this endeavour.

This series of the World Conferences on Technology and Engineering Education (WCTEE) builds on the series of extremely successful world conferences held in the past, such as the first WCTEE, held in Kraków, Poland, in September 2010, the second WCTEE, held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in September 2011, the third WCTEE, held in Athens, Greece in September 2014, the World Conference on Engineering Education (Sydney 1989, Portsmouth 1992, Minneapolis-St. Paul 1995); the East-West Congress on Engineering Education (Kraków 1991, Łódź 1993, Gdynia 1996) and, then, the Global Congress on Engineering Education (Kraków 1998, Wismar 2000, Glasgow 2002, Bangkok 2004 and New York 2006). Based on such previous extensive experience, the WCTEE is a continuation of the international effort of sharing and exchanging ideas, experiences and achievements within the international community of technology and engineering educators.

AREAS OF INTEREST

It is envisaged that the Conference will provide the participants with the opportunity to interact on all aspects of technology and engineering education, and such interactions as workshops, team work, panel debates, group discussions, individual presentations, and others, will be led and aided by several eminent international keynote speakers, leaders of the specific areas of interest.
