Mission
The mission of the lab is to advance the education of future informatics and computing engineers through dedicated study, research, and active contribution to the quality of related programs, courses, and teaching activities within DEI.
Its core goals focus on identifying and researching best practices while developing and proposing innovative methodologies for effectively teaching informatics engineering—particularly in large-enrollment courses (typically 200–400 students)—to better prepare students for evolving technological demands.
It seeks to raise faculty awareness of cutting-edge teaching approaches, foster the acquisition and sharing of specialised knowledge, encourage deep involvement in international communities dedicated to computer science and informatics education, facilitate regular visits to leading reference institutions in the field, and actively promote participation in prestigious ACM and IEEE conferences centred on teaching methodologies in computing and informatics engineering.
