Teaching in the engineering curriculum is undergoing a rapid transformation owing to the swift development of novel technologies and paradigms. With a focus on tracking innovative teaching strategies, the IEEE German Education Conference (GECon) endeavors to bring together researchers and educators.
The conference aims to provide a platform for networking with peers in engineering education and expand the current teaching landscape at German academic institutions. Following the success in 2022 - 2025 (proceedings), GECon 2026 aims to further strength collaborations among researchers in teaching.
