Message from the Technical Program Chair

On behalf of the Technical Program Committee of INTERTECH'2014 – XIII International Conference on Engineering and Technology Education I have to say that it has been a great pleasure to count with the all the papers submitted to the congress.

INTERTECH is a traditional congress in the field of engineering and technology education that more than 26 years has been accomplished always reaching its goal. We strongly believe that this meeting has once again provided an opportunity to advance communication between academics, researchers and industry. It is during this event that participants from around the world came together, where scientists from the university, the industry, and young researchers had the chance to network and exchanging useful knowledge in one location. It is a major contribution for the development and dissemination of knowledge.

We are very glad to have had this XIII edition of INTERTECH in Guimarães that is a city steeped in history with a rich cultural heritage. It is a thriving, stylish, and vibrant place, renowned for its strong history, as well as its passion for the arts and culture. Equally great are the host Institutions University of Minho and CCG - Computer Graphics Center and the local committee members who made a great job.

We have put together 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.

Before I close this message 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!
