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.

We can all agree we want to make our classes inclusive and accessible to diverse audiences. Despite the barriers we all know exist, the real problem is that we often focus more on the content we are teaching than the results we are creating.

Yet, we can agree it’s true that the more students can focus on the material, the more impact we have.

That’s why, to achieve the goal, we need to create teams of diverse student members. Here’s how—there are three steps:

1. Realization: explain how heterogeneous groups have a variety of complementary problem-solving approaches, and how the result is better problem solving.
2. Respect: build respect among the student teams. And,
3. Regroup: form new groups with team members from a variety of backgrounds.

Not only does that achieve the goal of making our classes more inclusive and accessible, it also prepares students for working in cross-cultural teams, and to innovate through cross-pollination of ideas. And it enhances the reputation of your department as one which serves a diverse set of students and thereby brings more applications for admission to your university from a broad range of students.
