IEEE EDUCON 2026

The Queen Mary team was involved in tutorials, workshops, special sessions and research presentations, sharing recent work on teaching practice, curriculum development, student learning, and educational innovation in engineering and computing. The conference provided a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with the international engineering education community and to discuss how scholarship can inform practical improvements in teaching and student experience.

The participation reflects the growing scholarship activity within the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, where colleagues continue to develop evidence-informed approaches to teaching, assessment and student support. It also highlights the strong collaboration between Queen Mary University of London and Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, including contributions from colleagues involved in the joint institutions in Beijing and Hainan.

It was particularly encouraging to see colleagues from across the teams contributing to different parts of the conference programme. Their involvement demonstrates the breadth of educational work taking place across the partnership and the shared commitment to enhancing engineering education through collaboration, reflection and research-informed practice.

EDUCON 2026 offered an important platform for presenting this work internationally and for strengthening links with colleagues and institutions working on similar challenges in engineering education.
