On behalf of the Technical Program Committee of ICECE’2015 – IX International Conference on Engineering and Computer Education I want to start thanking all the valuable contributions of the authors. The 9th edition of ICECE is a conference that serves as a multi-disciplinary forum for the discussion and exchange of information on the research, development, and applications on all topics related to engineering, and computer education.

The local of the event is a stunning city of historical value with a rich folk culture. A place to visit for its architecture, craft stores, castle and museums, Žilina a city of Slovakia, on East of Europe with a dynamic economy having the second biggest Slovak commercial and industrial chamber.

I also take the opportunity to thank the reviewers for their outstanding work reviewing all the papers. Equally important is to thank for the contributions of workshops leaders and plenary session’s lecturers bringing interesting topics related to the theme "Technology Education for the Future: from simple Growth to Sustainable Quality of Living".

Once again I would like to thank all the people involved in the Congress and for making this a truly great congress.
