Abstract(s)
Focused on "Engineering Education for the future in a multicultural and smart world", the EDUCON2020 Online
edition was based on a comprehensible program that included:
• a pre-conference day with 9 workshops, which attracted approx. 300 remote participants;
• 3 plenary sessions, including:
• a unique opening interview with interveners physically located in two different time zones, with a span
of 16 hours, in particular Keith Willey (interviewed), from Sydney, Australia, and Susan Zvacek (interviewer),
from Denver, US. Henrique Santos, Vice President for Conferences and Workshops of the IEEE Education
Society, located in Portugal, served as moderator.
• a keynote by Annette Kolmos, about “Complex Problem Solving and PBL in Engineering Education”,
moderated by José Carlos Quadrado.
• and, a closing debate with Maria Graça Carvalho (a member of the European Parliament), Sebastião Feyo
de Azevedo (Rector of Universidade Portucalense Infante D. Henrique), and João Gabriel Silva (Rector of
the University of Coimbra from 2011 to 2019), who discussed about “The University and the Digital
Transformation of Society”, in a debate moderated by Russ Meier, president of the IEEE Education Society.
• and 44 technical sessions; 4 round tables, and 7 special sessions
The technical program included 314 papers that underwent a double-blind review process with at least 3 independent reviewers. Considering a total number of 654 submissions, this results into a 50% acceptance rate. Finally, the
EDUCON2020 online conference edition gathered more than 300 participants from 51 countries on 5 continents.
