This series of the World Conferences on Technology and Engineering Education (WCTEE) builds on the series of extremely successful world conferences held in the past, such as the first World Conference on Technology and Engineering Education, held in Kraków, Poland, in September 2010, the World Conference on Engineering Education (Sydney 1989, Portsmouth 1992, Minneapolis-St. Paul 1995); the East-West Congress on Engineering Education (Kraków 1991, Łódź 1993, Gdynia 1996) and then the Global Congress on Engineering Education (Kraków 1998, Wismar 2000, Glasgow 2002, Bangkok 2004 and New York 2006). Based on such previous extensive experience, the WCTEE is a continuation of the international effort of sharing and exchanging ideas, experiences and achievements within the international community of technology and engineering educators.
