Announcements

ICELIE is an educational conference co-located within IECON, the flagship conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, which is independent in terms of key topics. The main objective of the events is to discuss the new didactic methods and teaching/learning technologies that ensure efficient training in the broad field of industrial electronics.

Like all areas of engineering, engineering education is undergoing major changes. Education has been transformed by COVID, and the demand for online laboratory measurements has increased. The new challenge is the integration of AI-based tools into the educational process, the fruitful application of chatbots and machine learning algorithms in learning and engineering problem solving. Recently, the project-based approach, which focuses on real engineering tasks, has become widespread, but at the same time, AI tools have emerged that can partially or completely solve many project tasks. These applications can shorten the problem-solving process, but increase the importance of professional control, as AI based tools might provide incorrect solutions. Papers are invited that address current challenges in engineering education in terms of content development, didactics and technology. Lectures dealing with the methodology of knowledge transfer in the field of industrial electronics are welcome. Effective teaching requires the identification of key knowledge elements and engineering competencies, and the development of new approaches to teaching methodology. Participants registered for ICEILE will be able to attend all IECON presentations, including keynotes, and the Gala Dinner will be a joint event of the two conferences. Each conference will publish its own proceedings.

The topics of IEEE-ICELIE 2024 that will be addressed in this conference will include, but are not limited to:
New Approaches and Standards in Engineering Education: Curriculum development, content management. Digital libraries, online sources. Didactics in engineering education.
