This International Seminar is being organised jointly by two Working Groups within SEFI: the Information and Communication Technologies Working Group (ICT Group) and the Curriculum Development Working Group (CDWG) and is being hosted by the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUI, Galway).
The Organising Committee anticipates participation from a wide cross-section of people involved in the education of engineers and is inviting papers from teachers, programme co-ordinators and administrators, software developers and courseware providers from third level institutions and industry.
Theme and scope
The theme of the Seminar is "THE IMPACT OF ICT ON THE CURRICULUM".
Papers (in English) are invited on, but not limited to, the following topics of interest:
Interactive tutorials and staff/student, student/student dialogue Project-based teaching using ICT Pedagogical aspects Dedicated laboratory/computer software Digital libraries/databases Presentation software Administrative and curriculum information dissemination Virtual and computer-based learning environments Web publishing Media competencies
In addition to describing technical aspects of software/hardware, contributors are asked to address such questions as: how the system is implemented, what are the experiences/effects of its implementation, what is its relation to the curriculum, and how does the system support or assist the learning process. In addition, contributors are expected to provide a realistic demonstration of the system described and, if appropriate, show delegates how they might develop or replicate similar systems themselves.
Submission of Abstracts
Interested authors are asked to submit an abstract of about 250 words, and make a preliminary registration. Authors will be notified as to the suitability of their contribution to the Seminar theme following a professional review process. Papers must be written and presented in English and will be limited to no more than 10 pages in length. Authors of accepted abstracts will be requested to produce a camera-ready version of the full paper, which will then be subjected to peer review.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit abstracts, papers and complete the registration procedures via the Seminar web page (http://indeng.nuigalway.ie/ict2001/), which will be kept up-to-date with relevant information and facilities.
