The XVII TAEE Conference will be held at "Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial y de Telecomunicación" of UC (Universidad de Cantabria), in the city of Santander, on July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd, 2026.

While the conference will primarily be in-person, a limited number of contributions may be presented remotely and synchronously, creating a hybrid format that facilitates international participation and accessibility.

The conference is organized by the TAEE (Technology, Learning, and Teaching of Electronics) Association and the local committee of the School of Industrial and Telecommunication Engineering at the University of Cantabria.

TAEE 2026 invites the academic, research, and professional communities to share experiences, results, and proposals on education in electronics and its role as a key discipline for facing the challenges of the present and future.

Although historically linked to Industrial Technologies and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), electronics is now seen as a cross-cutting driver of transformation in fields such as cybersecurity, biotechnology, robotics, digital health, smart mobility, energy sustainability, and autonomous systems. In this context, the conference is designed as an open forum for collective reflection on the teaching of electronics, its integration into related areas, and its capacity to respond to the social, professional, and technological challenges of an increasingly interconnected world.

TAEE 2026 will be a diverse and active forum that will bring together academics, researchers, professionals, institutional leaders, and stakeholders from the educational and productive sectors committed to high-quality, transformative, ethical, and inclusive technical education. The conference will focus on the processes of teaching, learning, assessment, and curriculum design, with a special emphasis on pedagogical innovation, the critical use of emerging technologies, graduate employability, and the connection with the needs of the industry.

In this edition, we encourage contributions that address the continuous improvement of teaching and training in electronics from the following thematic areas:

• Curriculum Design, Teaching, and Assessment: This includes topics such as syllabus design, the use of active and competency-based methodologies, creating curricula that adapt to new professional profiles, and integrating flexible, employment-oriented pathways..
• Analysis of Educational Policies and Institutional Strategy: This covers works that analyze the impact of regulations on technical education, the modernization and internationalization of engineering studies, program evaluation, and educational quality. It also includes participation in regional, national, and international calls for proposals.
• Open, Accessible, and Digital Education: This includes experiences with MOOCs, micro-credentials, digital badges, and gamification. It also covers proposals that promote inclusion and accessibility in virtual environments, the development of blended learning and open content, and global educational cooperation through free or low-cost platforms.
• Professional Practice and Integration with Industry: This highlights the value of internships, dual education, applied projects with companies, and university-industry alliances to integrate innovation and real-world technological challenges into technical training.
• Educational Innovation and Emerging Technologies: This focuses on the application of artificial intelligence, secure learning systems, machine learning, and learning science in educational settings. It also includes the use of digital tools for design and manufacturing (CAD, CAE, 3D printing), the incorporation of augmented reality, virtual reality, and digital twins, and the development of remote labs, simulators, and interactive platforms.
• Employability, Emerging Profiles, and Connection with the Environment: This focuses on adapting curricula to changes in the job market, identifying new professional skills, analyzing the professional impact of graduates, and aligning training with the needs of the productive sector.
• Social Perspective, Inclusion, and STEAM Vocations: This includes proposals to foster scientific and technological vocations from an early age, integrate a gender perspective and diversity into teaching, and evaluate the social impact of technical training on sustainable development, equity, and participation.
• Learning Analytics and Continuous Improvement: This covers research and experiences on models for analyzing learning in electronics and related fields, applying learning science to pedagogical redesign, large-scale evaluation, effective feedback, and improving the student experience.
