Message from the General Chair

Once again as the General Chair of this prestigious congress that is in its X edition, International Conference on Engineering and Computer Education, we are extremely happy to welcome all the participants. ICECE2017 – X International Conference on Engineering and Computer Education will happen from October 29 to November 1, 2017, in Salvador, Bahia, the first capital city of Brazil. It is another successful scientific event organized by COPEC – Science and Education Research Council that happens in Salvador, Bahia a city that gathers history and leisure.

The theme of the congress "Interactive Education as a Tool to form a Creative and Entrepreneurship Society" and it has brought a wide range of collaborations from the scientific community. The congress has become a great opportunity to keep constant contact with colleagues from different countries and thus to provide a fertile ground for discussions and exchange of experiences so important to the development of science and technology.

We are very proud to have the congress in such a venue, Salvador of Bahia a historical city that is placed on a gorgeous piece of seashore at the Northeast part of Brazil. With more than a thousand houses, churches and monuments built since the 16th century, Salvador has the greatest collection of Baroque architectural heritage in Latin America. In fact it has 365 churches one for each day of the year. A city to visit and enjoy!

This year ICECE is hosted by the UNEB – State University of Bahia a prominent university in Brazil and the largest one of Bahia, providing magnificent environment for the accomplishment of the event.
