Abstract
Never has the speed of development in the area of engineering been as accelerated as it is today, as we observe the enormous and driven growth of the area of engineering. Today’s tendencies require well-coordinated new efforts in engineering education - or in other words: The importance of pedagogy in the field of engineering in both, the secondary and the tertiary sectors, is growing enormously. These changes strongly demand new didactic and pedagogic paradigms. The International Society of Engineering Education (IGIP) offers to contribute to the relevance and pedagogical aspects related to developing educational concepts in engineering education.
