Ioan Dumitrache (Emeritus Professor, University ”Politehnica”, Bucharest, Romania)

"The engineering education for intelligent society"

The speaker: Ioan Dumitrache is an Emeritus Professor of the University ”Politehnica” of Bucharest. He is professor of Control Engineering and Intelligence Control Systems in this University having a large experience in education of many generations of students. In this capacity he served as a Dean of Faculty and Rector of the University. In 2012 he founded the Coalition for Engineering Education (CREDING) and he organized many debates on the engineering education. Now he is member of the Romanian Academy and the Secretary General of the institution.

\nAbstract: We are going to next type of society where everything will be connected, based on the IoT and IIoT we have to create a hyperconnected society where physical objects (machines) and humans will be included into collaborative groups as intelligent agents. The engineers must develop new artefacts with incorporated intelligence able to communicate and solve even cognitive tasks. The classical learning systems must adapt to these challenges increasing the capacity to solve complex problems by critical thinking. We present a model of learning systems based on problems solving with the support of generative artificial intelligence.\n\n

Miriam Reiner (Professor, Technion, Israel and Stanford University, USA)

"Learning-Brain-Neurotechnology: Enhancements in Remote and Hybrid Engineering Education"

The speaker: Prof. Miriam Reiner started and directed the VR & NeuroCognition lab at the Technion. She studies perceptual and neural correlates of enhanced learning and developed neurotechnologies for optimal learning in Virtual and hybrid environments. She uses neural and physiological sensors, and behavioral measures to model learning.

Abstract: Remote and hybrid engineering education faces persistent challenges in capturing and optimizing high-level cognitive processes. This paper brings results of a series of studies introducing a multimodal experimental framework combining immersive projection-based virtual reality with high-resolution neurophysiological measures (EEG, eye tracking, autonomic signals, and motion capture) to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying complex engineering learning, with a focus on the conditions that optimize learning. Together, these findings support brain-aware educational design and highlight the potential of adaptive, neurophysiologically informed platforms to enhance learning outcomes in remote and hybrid engineering education.

STE PS_D0: Scientific Jam Session
9:00am - 10:30am

Florin Munteanu
Location: Room U I2
Session Chair: Florin Munteanu, Academy of Romanian Scientists AOSR

We are used to meeting at conferences where we present results, methods, and applications. Each within our own discipline, each inside our own “box” of expertise. Yet what is happening in today’s world shows us that this is no longer enough.

The Need – Technological progress has pushed human performance to unprecedented levels, but it has also opened a gap: algorithms process data but do not create meaning; bioelectronics repairs the body but does not address identity; education delivers information but does not cultivate transformation.

The Urgency – We no longer have the luxury of linear thinking. Complexity teaches us that instability is the norm, paradoxes are inevitable, and levels of reality interpenetrate: physical, biological, social, symbolic, spiritual. If we remain within old frameworks, we risk missing the very directions in which the human condition itself is being reconfigured.

The Shift – What lies ahead is not merely a technological singularity but something deeper: an ontological singularity. A passage from data to meaning, from control to participation, from knowledge as accumulation to knowledge as transformation.

In this context, we invite you to a Scientific Jam Session – a living space of dialogue, where disciplines meet not to defend their boundaries but to explore together unknown horizons. A space where:

  • information is recognized as an ontological dimension,
  • complexity becomes a shared language,
  • and consciousness and culture are reintegrated into scientific inquiry.

You will not find recipes or final answers here. But you will encounter fertile questions, conceptual challenges, and the rare opportunity to take part in a moment where science and spirituality, reason and intuition, technology and culture begin to play together. We invite you to join this collective exercise of imagination and inquiry, to step into a space where the future is not taught, but composed.

The Scientific Jam Session will be hosted by:

Dr. Eng. Florin Munteanu

Center for Complex Studies

T.M. of Academy of Romanian Scientists AOSR, 

C.M of Technical Sciences Academy of Romania ASTR

NOTE: The Scientific Jam Session will continue for all three conference days.

Why a Scientific Jam Session?\nTraditional academic conferences have their essential role: communicating results, rigorously validating research, and exchanging best practices. Yet they unfold within a fragmented logic — each specialist remains confined to their own discipline, with precise objectives and limited applications. In a world marked by complexity and interdependence, this approach is no longer sufficient.\nWhat is missing today:\n\nThere are no spaces where marginal hypotheses, conceptual explorations, and radical questions are placed at the center.\nParadigm breakthroughs do not arise from formal presentations, but from informal dialogue, intuition, and cognitive interference.\nThe education of young researchers remains disciplinary and utilitarian, without training in transdisciplinary thinking or creative exploration.\n\nWhat the Scientific Jam Session brings:\n\nA living and provocative space that stimulates imagination and intuition through its architecture (mind-map exhibitions, visual challenges, interactive installations).\nA co-creation methodology inspired by musical improvisation and design thinking, turning researcher interaction into an emergent process.\nA collective outcome: not immediately applicable solutions, but fertile questions and new directions that can inspire future research and academic formation.\n\nWhy is it necessary now?\n\nBecause education and research must move from disciplinary to transdisciplinary, from utilitarian to visionary.\nBecause innovation without creativity remains applicable, but not paradigmatic.\nBecause young researchers need a framework where they can practice heutagogy and complex thinking, not just reporting results.\nBecause the future of science depends on fertile questions, not easy solutions.\n
