Abstract (EN): The 2nd edition of the Special Session Talking about Teaching 2013 (TaT’13) within the Annual Conference IGIP2013 (http://www.igip-online.net/) aimed to promote the discussion on Engineering Education by providing an opportunity for debating and sharing approaches, developments and experiences, in line with the mission of both the Portuguese Society for Engineering Education (SPEE) and the International Society for Engineering Education (IGIP). This initiative also helped to strengthen the cooperation between these two Societies, one being a well established international society with more than 40 years of experience and the other, SPEE, a young society with 3 years of life. Talking about Teaching is the name of a thought-provoking column of Susan Zvacek, USA, in the SPEE Newsletter and the organizers intended to give continuity to its reflections and potentiate them within this Special Session @ IGIP2013, fostering profitable discussions. The proposed topics were concerned not only with resources in engineering education (EE) and with the constant demand on the use of technology, but also with the effectiveness of knowledge in order to guaranty simultaneously the spirit of engineering leadership in society and the lifelong learning capability. They also included the perspective of EE oriented for STEM, as well as the commitment in sharing resources with those affected by the digital divide. Six of eight presentations at TaT’13 have been the basis for the present reworked versions now integrated in this Special Scope of the International Journal of Engineering Pedagogy (iJEP).
