Call for Papers for the 2010 IEEE Engineering Education Conference - IEEE EDUCON 2010

==========================================================================

IEEE Region 8, in partnership with the IEEE Education Society, is beginning a new global engineering education conference, IEEE EDUCON, held each year in selected cities throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for academic, government and industrial collaboration on teaching methods, practical experiences and research toward improving the future of global engineering education.

University presidents, college deans, department chairpersons, faculty in engineering and engineering technology, graduate students preparing for academic careers, government representatives, and industry leaders from throughout IEEE Region 8 (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and the world are invited to submit papers for peer review and publication in the conference program.

In 2010, the conference will be held on April 14-16 in Madrid, Spain on the campuses of UNED and UPM. The deadline to submit a one page abstract of your proposed conference paper, or a two-minute video abstract that proposes your paper and demonstrates your presentation skills, is September 7, 2009.

Final one-page abstracts will be published in a program book distributed at the conference. Paper proceedings with an appropriate ISBN number will be distributed electronically on CD-ROM or memory USB. Papers will also be available through IEEE Xplore.

There will be some selected award papers that will be recommended for publication in IEEE Transactions on Education and in the IEEE-RITA Electronic Journal.

Examples topic areas for paper submission are:

* Area 1: Infrastructure and Technologies for Engineering Education

* Area 2: Innovative Materials, Teaching and Learning Experiences

in Engineering Education

* Area 3: Knowledge and Competencies in Engineering

* Area 4: Educational Methods and Learning Mechanisms in

Engineering Education

* Area 5: Attracting, Engaging and Retaining Human Talent to

Engineering
