Welcome to iCEER 2007
I am delighted to have the opportunity to welcome the international community to Victoria University in Melbourne
for the 2007 International Conference on Engineering and Education Research – iCEER 2007.
This is the first time ever that the iNEER Network have assembled in Australia. Victoria University views this development as a great significance in our globalized world - in particular, given the crucial need to promote progress through international cooperation.
In keeping with the focus of iCEER on information dissemination and exchange, this year’s conference emphasizes the dissemination of information on state-of-the-art advances in education and research, especially to new approaches that link the two activities in addressing the education goals of young engineers of the 21st century. This is reflected in the 2007 conference theme 'Innovations in Information and Communication Technologies'. Major topics include e-learning, problem and project based learning, government policies, partnership and collaboration, curriculum development and delivery, industry and community engagement, accreditation, assessment, globalization, integrated and flexible learning and innovations in Engineering Education.
On behalf of the iNEER Network and the iCEER 2007 Organising Committee I thank you for your participation in the iCEER 2007 Conference and I wish you well for your stay in Melbourne for the duration of Conference.
Professor Ian Rouse
Conference Chair
