Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is pleasure to have this opportunity to invite you to join one of the top engineering education international congresses, the XII International Conference on Engineering and Computer Education - ICECE2021, that will be included in the COPEC Flash Week, in the period November 22-25, 2021. The duration of the COPEC Flash Week will be four days, with all technical sessions at ICECE2021 being held on November 25. All presentations will be online and on-time.

The theme of this congress edition is “Shifting Paradigms in Distance Education”.

ICECE2021 has the objective to provide a high level forum for experts to discuss both common and critical advancements in order to meet the growing needs in engineering and computer education and exchange new ideas and experiences.

ICECE2021 iis organized by the Science and Education Research Organization (COPEC) and the host Institution is the International Institute of Education (IIE).

ICECE2021 aims to provide a high-level forum for experts to discuss advances and criticisms in order to meet growing needs in the fields of engineering education, computing and technology, and for the exchange of new ideas and experiences. It is also an opportunity for those who are interested in collaboration and investment in engineering education, computing and technology.

The languages of the congress are English, Portuguese and Spanish. All full paper submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated based on originality, technical and/or research content/depth, correctness, relevance to conference, contributions, and readability. The committees consist of many international experts from high profile organizations and institutions - what makes us proud of this volunteer team that will provide you with a world-class international congress. This year, we also traditionally plan to stage a program with paper presentations, panel sessions and workshops on topical issues for the scientific community.

The program is designed to ensure that all participants have the opportunity to enjoy the lifestyle, history and culture of the region, meet colleagues from different countries, exchange experiences, renew old friendships and build new ones that will continue for a long time after the closing ceremony.

Come and join us! Your participation and interaction will contribute towards making this congress a truly memorable experience. We all look forward to welcoming you to another successful event – this time, on line!
