20 June 2024 saw a WIETE dinner that was held in honour of three Guest Editors of a special edition of the WIETE international journal, the World Transactions on Engineering and Technology Education, Vol.22, No.2, which was dedicated to the Faculty of Architecture. The philosophy behind this approach was to showcase and celebrate the achievements of the three consecutive Deans that is Professor Antoni Taraszkiewicz (Former Dean); Professor Lucyna Nyka (Present Dean) and Professor Jakub Szczepański (Dean Designate) representing the past, presence and future of this prime Polish’s faculty of architecture, as well as a partner institution of the World Institute for Engineering and Technology Education (WIETE). The other two distinguished guests who contributed greatly to the publication of this special edition were Professor Magdalena Celadyn of the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and Professor Wacław Celadyn, both friends and supporters of the WIETE.
The highlight of the dinner was the presentation of a WIETE special gift bestowed upon Prof. L. Nyka who was the instigator of this special publication idea, and together with Professor Krzysztof Wilde, Rector of the GdańskTech, was also a Guest Editor of a special edition of the WIETE’s Global Journal of Engineering Education (GJEE), Vol.26, No.2. This issue of the GJEE is dedicated to the whole Gdańsk Tech to demonstrate university-wide activities, developments and achievements in engineering and technology education; however, one can also observe a considerable input from the Faculty of Architecture. |
