Dear Colleagues:
Please join us in the ancient city of Tainan in Taiwan for iCEER-2005.
One of the series of conferences held around the world since 1994 and
sponsored by the International Network for Engineering Education and Research
(iNEER), iCEER-2005 is hosted by National Cheng Kung University
(NCKU), one of the best and largest comprehensive universities in Taiwan, with
a strong tradition in engineering and related fields.
iNEER is a unique, global, volunteer, networking, professional
organization formed by the world engineering community to promote mutual
progress in teaching and learning through international cooperation. The goal
of iNEER is to help advance engineering education and research through international
understanding and partnership. The widening iNEER network of educators and
researchers in engineering and allied disciplines covers 98
countries, and is linked through the iNEER website, archival publications,
e-mails, conferences, workshops, and retreats. See http://www.ineer.org for more details.
NCKU faculty and students work closely with companies
located in the nearby Tainan Science Park, and are helping to drive the next
wave in economic development in Taiwan. You will learn first-hand how this is
done and, as well, what are the best practices for industry-university
collaboration.
Also of concern will be how to bring the latest research advances into the
classroom. There will be answers for questions such as: “How should
nanotechnology be taught in the undergraduate and graduate levels?” “What are
the pros and cons in establishing new degree programs that are tailored to new
technological development?” “How important is it to introduce K-12 students to
emerging technologies?” “How can we exploit the use of wireless technologies in
the classroom instead of discouraging their use?” “What are the latest
methodologies for assessment of student learning?” “What is the new thinking in
the relation between remote education and the classroom?” “What is the best way
to infuse advances in education research into engineering education?”
Plan on meeting some of the leading members of engineering education from the
98 countries of the iNEER Network. Seize the opportunity to develop new
international linkages and meet old friends.
In addition to an interesting and rewarding technical program, iCEER-2005 also
offers participants an opportunity to sample the famous hospitality of the
people of Taiwan. Those of you who attended the ICEE conference in 2000 will
know what we mean.
For information on iCEER-2004 that was held in June 2004 in Prague and Olomouc,
Czech Republic, please visit

conference and on ICEE-2003 (Valencia, Spain) and ICEE-2002 (Manchester,
England) are available at http://www.ineer.org/Events/ICEE2003Info/Welcome.htm
and http://www.ineer.org/Events/ICEE2002Info/Welcome.htm respectively.
Come also to iCEER-2005 to enjoy Taiwan's myriad scenic wonders and fascinating
cultural traditions. We definitely recommend spending a few extra days in
Tainan and around Taiwan either before or after the conference.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
