Message from the Technical Program Chair

The ICECE – International Conference on Engineering and Computer Education is once again happening and I have to say that it has been a great pleasure to count with the all the collaborations to the congress. The theme of the edition "Interactive Education as a Tool to form a Creative and Entrepreneurship Society" has to do with the global environment that the world has passed lately. A moment that society has suffered with so many changes that challenge humanity on a grand scale.

ICECE as a traditional congress in the field of engineering and computer education happens for 18 years and that has been accomplished always reaching its goal. We are sure that once again the congress has provided an opportunity to advance communication between academics, researchers and industry. With participants from around the world scientists from the university, the industry, and young researchers had the chance to network and exchange useful knowledge. It is another major contribution for the development and dissemination of scientific achievements for the welfare of human kind.

We are very glad to have had ICECE2017 – X International Conference on Engineering and Computer Education in Salvador that is a city steeped in history with a rich cultural heritage. It is a vibrant city, known for its history, as well as its baroque scenario. We could never forget to point out the host Institution State University of Bahia principally the local committee members who made a great job.

I want to thank in special Prof. Valnice S. Paiva and the TIPEMSE Research Team for their exceptional work and cooperation without whom we could not have accomplished such a great congress.

Together we have organized an exciting congress with a wide representation of fields, specializations and interests. The program included a variety of panels and roundtables designed to present cutting-edge research and theory. This successful congress program was possible thanks to the hard work of all staff members, reviewers and the local committee. We are sure that the congress has contributed to enlighten and provide a unique experience to all who took part in the event.

I would like to thank each of authors and participants for their collaborations, for attending the congress and bringing their expertise to our gathering.

Thank you all and enjoy the scientific experience!
