EIT 2017 - STEM

The 16th Annual International Conference on Electro-Information Technology (eit2017), sponsored by IEEE Region 4 and organized by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, invites original contributions to the Special Track on Engineering and Computer Science Education and Continuing Workforce Development. As a well-respected conference, eit focuses on the basic and applied research results in the fields of engineering, information technology, and related applications. Rapid technological growth in these areas have revolutionized life on the planet and changed the way people build and exchange knowledge and goods. Education of the next generation of engineers and computer scientists is critical because they will be the great thinkers brainstorming, innovating, and changing our life in the next decades of the twenty-first century!

Peer-reviewed papers, workshops, and panels are welcomed across a broad range of educational topics including but not limited to:

• Accreditation of Engineering and Computer Science Programs
• Assessment of Student Learning
• Best Practices for Student Success and Retention
• Capstone Design Projects
• Computational Thinking in the Curriculum
• Curriculum Design
• Distance Learning and Massively Open Online Courses
• Integrating Ethics Instruction in the Curriculum
• Integrating Undergraduate Research and Internship in the Curriculum
• First-year Engineering Programs
• Instructional Design and Creative Uses of Technology in the Classroom
• K-12 Outreach Programs
• K-12 to University Bridge Programs
• Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning
• Novel approaches for Addressing ABET Engineering Requirements
