IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering 2012

20?23 August 2012, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong

Theme: “Fostering Innovation and Excellence in Engineering Education”

The IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment,

and Learning for Engineering (TALE) will be held each year

in the Asia-Pacific region (IEEE Region 10) beginning in

2012. It is intended to complement existing conferences

sponsored by the IEEE Education Society, most notably

Frontiers in Education in North America (IEEE Regions 1?7)

and EDUCON in Europe/Middle East/Africa (IEEE Region 8).

The aim of TALE 2012 is to provide a forum for

academicians and professionals from various educational

fields and with cross-disciplinary interests to network,

share knowledge and engage in dialogue around the theme of

fostering innovation and excellence in engineering

education. To this end, both research and

practice-oriented papers are invited that encompass all

aspects of education in the engineering fields (including

computing, computer science, information technology and

cognate disciplines). The conference will feature

traditional paper presentations, workshops, as well as

keynotes by renowned educational experts and authorities.

references) in standard IEEE double-column format. Papers

will be accepted only by electronic submission through the

conference website, from which submission guidelines and a

template for papers are available. A blind-review process

will be used to evaluate all submitted papers. Each full

registration for the conference will cover a maximum of

two papers; each student registration will cover a single

paper only. All accepted and registered papers that are

presented at the conference will be published in the

conference proceedings (CD-ROM/USB) and uploaded to the

IEEE Xplore database, which is indexed by Scopus. The

proceedings will also be submitted for possible indexing

to EI Compendex, ISI Thompson Conference Proceedings

Citation Index (CPCI) and INSPEC.

Awards will be presented to authors of the best papers

presented at the conference. These authors, along with

authors of other selected papers, may be invited to submit

revised and expanded versions for potential publication in

the IEEE Transactions on Education, and/or other refereed

international journals. (The content of the expanded paper

must be substantially different to that of the version

submitted to the conference, and publication is subject to

peer-review acceptance in accordance with the relevant

journal's editorial policies and guidelines.)
