Title CDD 005 Message from the General Chair Once more I have the grateful task to welcome all the participants and cooperators from around the world of ICECE - International Conference on Engineering and Computer Education. This edition ICECE’2013 happens in Luanda, the capital city of Angola, on March 3 to 6, 2013 and it is the first time that ICECE happens in African Continent. The theme of the congress is: "Forming Engineers for a Growing Demand". Using this platform we aim to continue the success of past congresses in supporting the dissemination of quality research, but also to provide memorable experience through our hospitality, location and congress facilities. Located on the west coast of Africa, the port of Luanda is the capital and largest city of Angola. Founded by the Portuguese in 1575, the City had a tumultuous history, finally reaching peace in 2002, after a long civil war. With the increasing population and the wave of construction, the city is experiencing a renaissance. It is certainly a perfect place for the accomplishment of a congress as ICECE once Angola is also a growing economy country. The ideas, opinions and professionals contributions are showed in lectures with international specialists in their areas of performance, plenary sessions, and presentations of works and workshops of high quality. As the General Chair of ICECE'2013 – VIII International Conference on Engineering and Computer Education, on behalf of COPEC team I am glad to thank first of all the Jean Piaget University of Angola for hosting the congress. It is imperative to acknowledge and thank in special all the people involved in the organization of this edition of ICECE such as the Rector Prof. Pedro Domingos Peterson, Local Chair of ICECE'2013, without whom this event would not have been possible. I would like also to thank Prof. Lufianlisso Antonio, Dean of Engineering and Technology School and Prof. Carlos Cunha for their great work.
