Aiming to establish a platform for publications on Engineering Education, the European Journal of Engineering Education (EJEE) was founded by the European Society of Engineering Education (SEFI) in 1976. The first few years of the journal were rather instable, searching for a format and the production of a regular flow of paper submissions. At the very beginning Alec Marshall was appointed as Editor supported by a small Editorial Board of six members. Some years later Gabriel Fragnière was appointed as temporary editor (1978–1980. During this period, the journal’s appearance was still unbalanced with several double issues. In 1980 Jean Michel was appointed as the new Editor-in Chief, supported by an Editorial Board of 11 members. Jean Michel kept his position as editor of the EJEE until 2008. During his 28 years editorship, the journal gained its present reputation as one of the leading scientific peer reviewed journals in the field of Engineering Education. In recognition of the contribution of Jean Michel, SEFI awarded him in 2008 the Leonardo da Vinci medal. In the colophon of the journal he is honoured as ‘Founding editor’of the EJEE.Under the leadership of Jean Michel, the editorial board expanded in several steps, increasing the number to 11 in 1980 and 17 in 1988, still all from West European countries. In 1993 the editorial board was again expanded, to 27 members, among which 3 from East-European countries and 3 from outside Europe. In 1998 there were 30 members, including five from outside Europe. From 1980 until 2006, the journal appeared regularly with four issues a year. In 2006 the number of issues was increased to six per year, bringing the number of papers to be published each year to 50–60. At the same time the editorial burden was relieved by the appointment of an editorial committee consisting of four associate editors, chaired by the Editor-in-Chief.
