During these years Lena developed her pedagogical skills and competence in the pedagogic field and besides leading the activities she organised pedagogical training for teachers, pupils and university students. Between 2011 and 2016 Lena was the head of the new Department of Learning at the School of Education and Communication in Engineering Sciences (ECE), KTH. Lena was then responsible for building up a new strong research environment in engineering and technology education, K-12 to university level. 2016-2017 Lena was the Dean at the ECE school at KTH. As this School was merged with another School in 2018, from January 2018 Lena has a research position as an

on our data to answer this question, when asked to reflect on thechanges that have occurred, many interviewees remark that faculty today do pay greater attentionto undergraduate education, and participate in more regular, if not always continuousimprovement efforts both at course and program level. Indeed, individuals from many differentinstitutions, regardless of position or institutional rank, mentioned that conversations in thedepartments and colleges that were stimulated by an ABET visit were helpful. (This said, manyinstitutions still rush to compile their ABET data two to three years before a visit.) Many of thoseinterviewed also admit that curriculum changes, especially at program level, were a moreinfrequent occurrence prior to EC

science instructors make use of pedagogical strategies thathelp students improve their understanding of programming concepts and become betterprogrammers. One such tool that implements these strategies through a cyber-learning platformthat incorporates an array of learning engagement strategies (e.g., collaboration, socialnetworking, gamification), is SEP-CyLE.SEP-CyLE attempts to overcome these technical and retention issues in three main ways. First, itbreaks large concepts like software programming and testing concepts into smaller learningobjects providing a less overwhelming experience for students. Second, integrated learning andengagement strategies show that software testing and other foundational programming conceptsare relevant. Finally
