Accepted papers will be included in the IEEE digital library, IEEEXplore®, which partners with Google, Elsevier, Web of Science, and others. Presentations will be in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The conference will also feature pre-workshops, plenaries, panels, hybrid social events and a pre-conference cultural immersive tour. Submit your papers on the conference streams topics and conference scope listed in the next sub-sections.
This conference serves as a central hub for researchers and educators to share cutting-edge research and best practices in Engineering, Technology, and Computing (ETC) Education. We encourage diverse submissions that explore the field through interdisciplinary and theoretical lenses.
Thematic Relevance:
Papers should address the conference topics, including innovations, trends, challenges, and solutions in relevant fields like electrical and electronic engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering, computer science, and more. For a detailed list of topics, please refer to the next section.
Contributions We Welcome:
Classroom Experience Reports, Teaching Techniques and Pedagogical Tools: Detailed accounts of educational interventions, their contexts, outcomes, and lessons learned, allowing for adoption by others.
New Curricula, Programs, and Position Papers: Descriptions of new educational initiatives, their development, impact, and guidance for implementation elsewhere. Position papers should present well-supported opinions to foster academic discussion.
Educational Research Papers: Rigorous studies with hypotheses, methods, and results, focusing on educational goals, pedagogical approaches, and diverse populations in engineering, computing, and technology education.
Responding to a Dynamic Landscape:
...
This conference acknowledges the rapid evolution of ETC education, particularly at the undergraduate level. We welcome discussions on emerging responsibilities in the field, such as:
Expanding ETC education to K-12 and continuing education programs.
Promoting student body diversification to reflect population demographics.
Integrating the history and societal impact of technology into curriculum.
Cultivating technological literacy for non-engineering audiences.
Interdisciplinary Focus:
While the core focus is on ETC education, submissions from related fields are welcome. This includes education in other engineering branches, physical sciences, life sciences, or applied mathematics, as long as they demonstrate significant relevance to ETC education.
Emphasis on Pedagogy:
Submissions involving digital technology should primarily focus on its pedagogical application and broader educational implications. Papers on software/hardware implementation should prioritize the educational context and learning outcomes, not just technical details. Detailed implementation architecture is best suited for online resources (URLs) and not the paper itself.
Scope Considerations:
Papers on non-technical subjects like tourism, philosophy, art, etc., typically fall outside the conference scope.

Mastering Microsoft Word Templates: Essential Tips and Tricks
This guide discusses the benefits of using the template document in Microsoft Word to ensure consistent formatting and facilitate collaborative writing, specifically for IEEE Conference papers. The template provides:
Detailed Instruction Set: The document acts as a guide, offering clear instructions and predefined styles for titles, sections, figures, tables, equations, references, etc. It also demonstrates these styles and formats within the document itself, serving as a practical example.
Reusable Base: This template can be shared and used as the foundation for creating new IEEE conference paper documents. By utilizing the template, authors can simplify the formatting process and easily follow established IEEE style guidelines while working together.
This guide offers options for both individual paper creation and collaborative writing using the template.
Two Effective Methods for Utilizing the Template:
A) Developing an Individual IEEE Conference Paper:
For individual paper creation, users can save a copy of the template as a new .docx file. This enables them to replace the template text with their own content while preserving the styles using "Paste and Match Formatting." Additionally, the Styles Panel in Microsoft Word displays the predefined template styles necessary for incorporating subtitles, lists, figures, tables, equations, and other elements required for writing the paper's content in various sections. Please ensure that all guidance text is removed from your conference paper prior to submission to the conference. Failure to remove template text from your paper may result in your paper not being published.
B) Creating a Microsoft Template (.dotx):
The recommended approach for collaborative writing is to create a template file (.dotx). This ensures that all collaborators have access to the predefined styles and formats, promoting consistency and compliance with IEEE Xplore requirements.
How to create a Microsoft Template (.dotx):
Open the Document:
Launch Microsoft Word and open the conference-template-a4.docx file to create a template with the formats and styles for formatting your paper.
Depending on your Operating System and Microsoft Word version, the instructions can differ. Please refer to the Microsoft support or help section in your application. Here we explain the current instructions for Windows and Mac Operating system Microsoft Word application:
Creating a Microsoft Template (.dotx) for Windows
a. Create the template file:
Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner.
Select "Save As" from the menu.
Choose a location on your computer where you want to save the template.
In the "Save as type" dropdown menu, select "Word Template (*.dotx)".
Enter a name for your template in the "File name" field.
Click "Save".
B. Accessing the Template:
To use your new template, launch Microsoft Word and go to "File" > "New".
In the "New" document menu, click "Personal" or "Custom" (depending on your version of Word) to find your template.
Select the template to create a new document based on it.
Creating a Microsoft Template (.dotx) for macOS
a. Create the template file:
Click "Save as Template" on the File menu.
In the "Save As" box, type the name that you want to use for the new template (Optional) In the "Where" box, choose a location where the template will be saved. Note: Unless you select a different location, the template is saved in /Users/username/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/User Content/Templates.
Next to "File Format", click "Microsoft Word template (.dotx)".
Click "Save".
B. Accessing the Template:
To start a new document based on your template, on the File menu, click "New from Template", and in "Personal" select the template you want to use.
Click "Create
Now you have a new document with the text of the template. Write replacing the text with your own text including new text using the styles displayed by the Style Panel. Use the styles of the Style Panel for all the different text styles you need. It is a lot of work but is worthwhile as it generates a well-formatted text as asked for a conference. Please ensure that all guidance text is removed from your conference paper prior to submission to the conference. Failure to remove template text from your paper may result in your paper not being published.
