Engineering Education: New Challenges, New Approaches

Teachers must aid students develop 21st century skills providing them with rich learning experiences, as related as possible to their future professional practices. The sudden transition to an e-learning environment due to the COVID19 pandemic is the focus of the works presented. A good diversification of teaching approaches such as PBL, teamwork, gamification or the integration of complementary resources is tackled. Teachers’ concern about students’ perception, and development of professional competences is present in all works. Some works not only describe experiences that were useful to students learning but also in developing solutions, engendering a bridge between academia and the professional world.The chairs of this track session would like to thank the members of its Scientific Committee and all contributing authors for their efforts in enhancing the discussion upon this thematic.
