THE CENTRAL THEME WILL BE FOCUS ON THE LEARNER IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION. PREPARATION FOR PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE IS IMPORTANT IN TRAINING ENGINEERS. COLLABORATING IN A SMALL PROJECT GROUP ON A REAL-LIFE ENGINEERING PROBLEM IS CLEARLY AN EXCELLENT PREPARATION FOR PRACTICE. THE LEARNER AT THE CENTRE IS A CENTRAL THEME SHARED BY ACTIVE LEARNING IN ENGINEERING (ALE), PROJECT ORGANISED LEARNING (POL) AND PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL). BRINGING TOGETHER THESE THREE MAJOR INNOVATIVE APPROACHES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION IN ONE CONFERENCE PRESENTS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR CROSS FERTILIZATION AND NETWORKING AMONG ENGINEERING EDUCATORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. IMPORTANT DATES: DECEMBER 1, 2014 JANUARY 16, 2015 FEBRUARY 20, 2015 APRIL 10, 2015 MAY 1, 2015 ABSTRACT SUBMISSION ABSTRACT NOTIFICATION DEADLINE FOR FULL PAPER NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE FINAL PAPER SUBMISSION EACH CONFERENCE WILL HAVE ITS OWN PROCEEDINGS WITH AN ISBN PAPERS FROM ALL THREE CONFERENCES WILL BE SELECTED FOR A SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE IJEE. 5 SUN 2015 - JULY - SAN SEBASTIAN, 6 MON 7 TUE 8 WED 9 THU 10 FRI 11 SAT ALE WORKSHOP PAEE SYMPOSIUM JOINT ACTIVITIES KEYNOTES IRSPBL SYMPOSIUM SOCIAL EVENTS WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PARTICIPATION
13 TH ACTIVE LEARNING IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION WORKSHOP (ALE) ACTIVE LEARNING IS RECOGNISED AS A KEY ELEMENT TO ENHANCE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH ENGINEERING PRACTICE. ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES PREPARE ENGINEERING STUDENTS FOR A CAREER OF CREATIVE THINKING AND INDEPENDENT DECISION-MAKING. THE PRACTICE OF ACTIVE LEARNING IN ENGINEERING IS VERY DIVERSE. MANY DIFFERENT SCHOOLS HAVE DEVELOPED THEIR OWN APPROACH WITH DIFFERENT IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE. IN ORDER TO SORT OUT THIS CONFUSION THE ALE 2015 WORKSHOP WILL FOCUS ON: THE MEANING OF ACTIVE LEARNING AN INTERACTIVE KEYNOTE WILL EXPLORE THIS THEME AT THE CONFERENCE. AS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS WE SUGGEST THE FOLLOWING THEMES: COOPERATION WITH INDUSTRY ACTIVE LEARNING TO PREPARE FOR GENERIC COMPETENCES/SOFT SKILLS ACTIVE LEARNING TO ATTRACT STUDENTS TO ENGINEERING COURSES NEW ACTIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES ECONOMIC FACTORS AND ACTIVE LEARNING WORKSPACES FOR ACTIVE LEARNING DIVERSITY IN ENGINEERING STUDENTS BASIC SCIENCES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION INTERDISCIPLINARY COURSES RESEARCH IN ACTIVE LEARNING METHOD EVALUATING ACTIVE LEARNING ACTIVE LEARNING AND ICT

INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON PROJECT APPROACHES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION IT IS OUR PLEASURE TO INVITE YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SEVENTH PAEE SYMPOSIUM. THE DEPARTMENT OF PRODUCTION AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AND THE INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINHO HAVE BEEN ORGANISING THE SYMPOSIUM SINCE 2009 AIMING TO JOIN TEACHERS, RESEARCHERS ON ENGINEERING EDUCATION, DEANS OF ENGINEERING SCHOOLS AND PROFESSIONALS CONCERNED WITH ENGINEERING EDUCATION, TO ENHANCE PROJECT APPROACHES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION THROUGH WORKSHOPS AND DISCUSSION OF CURRENT PRACTICE AND RESEARCH. ON BEHALF OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, WE ARE PLEASED TO INVITE YOU TO SUBMIT YOUR PAPER ADDRESSING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING THEMES: ASSESSMENT IN PBL TEACHER ROLE IN PBL TUTORING MODELS DESIGNING PROBLEMS AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS PBL AND LEARNING THEORY CURRICULUM DESIGN TRANSVERSAL COMPETENCIES AND HIGH LEVEL SKILLS IN PBL SUSTAINABILITY COMPETENCE DEVELOPMENT INTERDISCIPLINARITY MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE INNOVATIVE ACTIVE LEARNING MODELS PBL MODEL AND APPROACHES PBL PROCESS AND STUDENT ENGAGEMENT PBL IMPLEMENTATION UNIVERSITY-BUSINESS COOPERATION ALL SUBMISSIONS ARE PEER-REVIEWED. THE ACCEPTED PAPERS WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A CONFERENCE PROCEEDING WITH ISBN.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS STANDARD PAPERS, BASED ON RESEARCH FOCUSED ON THE SYMPOSIUM THEMES. PBL IMPLEMENTATION PAPERS, BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF PBL EXPERIENCES AND THE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS. STUDENT PAPERS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISPLAY TO THE ENGINEERING EDUCATION COMMUNITY ALL THE GREAT PROJECTS BEING CURRENTLY DEVELOPED BY STUDENTS. STUDENTS CAN GAIN NOT ONLY VISIBILITY AND RECOGNITION TO THEIR PROJECTS BUT THEY CAN ALSO WIDEN THEIR NETWORKS THROUGH A CLOSE CONTACT WITH TEACHERS, RESEARCHERS, PROFESSIONALS AND OTHER STUDENTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. THIS PAPERS CAN BE SELECTED FOR THE STUDENT BEST PAPER AWARD. PROGRAMME THE PAEE PROGRAMME HAS FIVE MAIN COMPONENTS: KEYNOTE SPEECH, ADDRESSING PROBLEM AND PROJECT-BASED LEARNING. INDUSTRY SESSION, DISCUSSING SPECIFIC ISSUES FOR THE UNIVERSITY- BUSINESS COOPERATION. WORKSHOPS, AIMING TO ENCOURAGE DISCUSSION OF CURRENT PRACTICE AND RESEARCH ON PROJECT APPROACHES.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PRESENTATION: FOR FULL PAPER SUBMISSION PLEASE USE THE GUIDELINES PROVIDED IN THE FOLLOWING (HTTP:// HTTP://IJCLEE2015.MONDRAGON.EDU/EN/AUTHORS). THE PAPERS ACCEPTED WILL BE PRESENTED IN THREE MAIN FORMATS: PAPER PRESENTATION THIS FORMAT IS CLOSE TO THE TRADITIONAL INDIVIDUAL PAPER PRESENTATION, FOLLOWED BY DISCUSSION. THE PRESENTATION SHOULD LAST NO LONGER THAN 10 MINUTES WITH A MAXIMUM OF 6 SLIDES. THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 5 MINUTES LEFT FOR DISCUSSION PLUS AND OR QUESTIONS PANEL PRESENTATION IN THE PANEL PRESENTATION FORMAT 3 OR 4 AUTHORS EACH INTRODUCE THEMSELVES AND THEIR TOPIC BRIEFLY, HIGHLIGHTING THEIR RESEARCH OUTCOMES IN NO MORE THAN 5 MINUTES, SUPPORTED BY A MAXIMUM OF 3 SLIDES. THE SHORT INTRODUCTION SHOULD FOCUS ON POINTS FOR DISCUSSION, FOR INSTANCE IN THE FORM OF QUESTIONS TO THE AUDIENCE. NEXT THE CHAIR IS TO FACILITATE THE FORUM DISCUSSION, ALLOCATING SPEAKER TIME TO EACH OF THE PARTICIPANTS, STIMULATING THEM TO DISCUSS AMONG THEMSELVES AND INVITING COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE. PBL PRESENTATION IN THIS FORMAT THERE WILL BE NO PREPARED ORAL PRESENTATIONS AND NO POWER POINT SLIDES. FOR THE FIRST HALF-HOUR OF THE SESSION THE PRESENTERS ARE INVITED TO WORK TOGETHER ON A GROUP POSTER REPRESENTING THE OUTCOMES OF THEIR PAPERS. INFORMATION YOU WOULD OTHERWISE PUT ON A SLIDE CAN BE PRINTED AND BROUGHT TO THE SESSION. DURING THIS PERIOD OF CONSTRUCTION OF THE POSTER, THE AUDIENCE ACTS AS OBSERVERS. DURING THE SECOND HALF-HOUR OF THE SESSION THE AUTHORS PRESENT THE POSTER, EACH BRIEFLY HIGHLIGHTING THEIR OWN CONTRIBUTION AND THE PLACE IT HAS IN THE WHOLE OF THE POSTER. DURING THE THIRD HALF-HOUR THE AUDIENCE WILL INVITED TO ASK QUESTIONS AND GIVE COMMENTS. THE CHAIR ACTS AS TIMEKEEPER AND AS FACILITATOR FOR THE DISCUSSION PROGRAMME: IRSPBL PROGRAMME IS ORGANIZED IN: KEYNOTE SPEECHES, PARALLEL SESSIONS IN THREE FORMATS, AND PROPOSED WORKSHOPS, AND SOCIAL EVENTS.
