This presentation will show the long way we were involved during more than thirty years around distance education and practical competences, the convergence with online learning in the use of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) Engineering and the new way that we are facing after the main effects of the pandemic time where we should go a new era, more inclusive, diverse and personalized adapted for all. The way we include the practical competences inside the engineering studies, problems, simulations, remote and pocket labs open a new era in those applications and the incoming immersive environments.

We will finish the presentation with an introduction of the IEEE Education Society inside the area of educational activities, collaboration events and local chapters orientation.
