Engineering-Pedagogical Science Society

This year, we invite everyone interested in technical education to the 2020 Online Pre-Conference for the 15th Annual Conference on Engineering Education 2021 on Friday, October 23, 2020, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Participation in the online pre-conference is free of charge. All interested parties, especially students, will gain valuable insights into issues related to technical education around the globe.

We have prepared the following program for you:

• Welcome
• Plenary Lecture: Hans Joachim Bargstädt on Engineering Education in Vietnam—What Can We Learn from It? Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Joachim Bargstädt of the Bauhaus University Weimar is a founding member of the 4ING Faculty Days and served as its chair in 2017 and 2018. From February through June 2020, he worked as a visiting professor in Vietnam, collaborating with local universities on teaching programs and research proposals. Despite—or perhaps precisely because of—the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, insightful findings emerged that pertain both to the pedagogical program in engineering education and to addressing current challenges.
• Short Presentations: Brief talks followed by discussion: Papers submitted and reviewed for the 15th Annual Conference that are being published online ahead of schedule at the request of the presenters.
• Parallel Workshops by IPW Working Groups: The working groups “Ethics in the Digital World,” “Vocational Education,” “Fundamentals of Engineering Education,” and “People and Technology” invite discussion with keynote presentations. Here, experiences with online teaching this year will also be addressed and discussed in various contexts.
• Summary and Conclusion

The papers will subsequently be published online and included in the 2021 conference proceedings.

• Conference languages: German and English
• Conference fee: none
