The special track ‘games engineering’ at EDUCON 2017
Digitalization∗ proves to be more and more a worldwide trend transforming the way societies and economies function. Digitalization has changed the demands on the qualifications of the employees, and thus poses new challenges to our education system. Solving complex problems, software engineering, programming, and being able to familiarize oneself with other fields of science have become key skills in order to succeed in the job market. Being able to solve problems in a structured way and the art of computer programming are valued skills for various jobs, such as IT workers, data analysts, designers, engineers, and scientists — or games engineers.
