Abstract
The International Society for Engineering Education (IGIP) and The Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (SPEE), the first being the oldest European Society for Engineering Education in Europe and the second the very young Society for Engineering Education in Portugal, have been intensifying the collaboration between the two societies as well as the exchange and dissemination of information about their relevant activities, whilst promoting understanding and cooperation between their respective members. One possible way is to create joint working groups, open to the members of both societies, on common topics of interest. In fact, both societies already kicked off this activity. The first initiative happened during the 1st World Engineering Education Flash Week (WEE), Lisbon, 2011. The SPEE-IGIP Flash Moment was a one day event integrated in the main Conference, which was dedicated to “Information & Communication Technologies in Engineering Education”.ITs allow the development of different teaching strategies which contribute to enhance the learning outcomes of students. ITs are also particularly suited to develop Life Long Learning tools, in a broad range of Engineering subjects, either open to the general market or oriented to a very specific public.Examples of teaching strategies involving ITs have been addressed during the Flash Moment SPEE-IGIP which took place during WEE, and some are described in detail in the present work.
Highlights
The International Society for Engineering Education (IGIP) - was founded in 1972 at the University of Klagenfurt (A)
IGIP established an international register of engineering educators, which guarantees minimum standards in technical expertise and a well-balanced competence profile for engineering educators
The register lists qualified educators who had gone through a curriculum which has been approved by IGIP
Summary
The International Society for Engineering Education (IGIP) - was founded in 1972 at the University of Klagenfurt (A). ITs are suited to develop Life Long Learning tools, in a broad range of Engineering subjects, either open to the general market or oriented to a very specific public as required by a certain economic sector, which may include assessment of the education outcomes In this area, new approaches involve development of self and peer assessment tools, which can contribute to better tune learner and instructor, as well as to provide useful data for educators, being an important component of collaborative group-work. New approaches involve development of self and peer assessment tools, which can contribute to better tune learner and instructor, as well as to provide useful data for educators, being an important component of collaborative group-work All these different teaching strategies involving ITs have been addressed during the joint session SPEE-IGIP which took place during the “1st World Engineering Education Flash Week” in 2011, in Lisbon, and some of them will be described in more detail of this paper
