Dear Colleague:
Have you recently updated the courses that you teach? Have you established new degree or certificate programs? Have you created new courses or course modules, or designed innovative programs to involve students in your research, or otherwise worked on the integration of research and education? Would you like to disseminate and publicize these and other innovations, share experiences and lessons learned, and further enhance innovation and productivity of your work through a dialog with members of the international peer community?
If so, please consider submitting an article to an upcoming iNEER Special Volume. Each special volume is a hardcover, archival book published annually by the iNEER Network. All articles are subject to rigorous peer review. The next book will be the 2008 Special Volume entitled: “Innovations 2008: World Innovations in Engineering Education and Research.” Many of you and/or your colleagues in engineering and allied disciplines have published their work in past iNEER Special Volumes; see: http://www.ineer.org/iNEERPapers/Welcome.htm
Focused on promoting further advances in education and
research worldwide through international partnerships, the International
Network for Engineering Education and Research (“iNEER Network”) is a
volunteer-based, non-profit professional organization formed recently by the
world community in engineering and allied fields to foster communication and
collaboration. The widening iNEER
network of educators and researchers currently covers 98 countries, and is
linked through the iNEER website (http://www.ineer.org), archival publications,
e-mails, conferences, workshops, and retreats. The most recent event of the
iNEER Network was held a few weeks ago, in September 2007 at the
Papers for iNEER Special Volumes are accepted throughout the year and you are welcome to submit your paper at anytime; however, if you wish to have your articles reviewed for the 2008 book, we would appreciate your articles at an early date, preferably by November 15, 2007.
