Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to the inaugural
issue of Advances in Engineering Education. With
this issue we begin to highlight those significant advances
in instruction, pedagogy, technology and assessment that substantially
improve learning in the broadest sense. In doing this, our
second objective is to use where appropriate various multimedia
formats in order to present the material to the engineering
education community in the most informative manner. However,
we cannot do this alone. Specifically we need your help! We
welcome your advice as to how we
can improve Advances to meet your needs, but, more important
we welcome your contributions. We are actively soliciting
articles for our upcoming issues. We urge you to join
us in this exciting pursuit by submitting those papers that
you believe move the field of engineering education forward.
We promise to peer-review your submissions in a timely manner
and assist you in recommending how multimedia might be used
to enhance accepted papers. On behalf of the editors and the
editorial board, we look forward to having you join us in
making AEE the leading journal for engineering education applications.
