CALIE 04
International Conference on
Computer Aided Learning in Engineering Education
February 16-18, 2004
Grenoble, France
Presentation
-
The next CALIE 04 (Computer Aided Learning in Engineering
Education) conference, which has taken place in Grenoble in February 2004
was the second occurrence of CALIE conferences, the first being held in
November 2001 in Tunis. This series of conferences results from the fusion
of the two series of conferences CALISCE (Computer Aided Learning and
Instruction in Science and Engineering) and CAEE (Computer Aided Engineering
Education):
- CALISCE'91 in Lausanne, Switzerland
- CAEE'91 in Prague, Czech Republic
- CAEE'93 in Bucharest, Romania
- CALISCE'94 in Paris, France
- CAEE'95 in Bratislava, Slovak Republic
- CALISCE'96 in San Sebastian, Spain
- CAEE'97 in Cracov, Poland
- CALISCE'98 in Göteborg, Sweden
- CAEE'99 in Sofia, Bulgaria
- CALIE'01 in Tunis, Tunisia
- CALIE'04 in Grenoble, France |

In front of the recent multiplication of conferences
devoted to the integration of information and communication technologies
in engineer training, it seemed to us pertinent to space in time these conferences,
as well as to give specific orientations to our manifestation. In particular,
we insist on the following points:
- the international character of this meeting permits the confrontation
of different visions of the integration of technologies in engineer training.
This variety finds its roots in the diversity of cultural references, of
socio-economic models, of development levels of each country. The previous
editions of CALISCE, CAEE and CALIE conferences were joined by scientists
from the North, South, East and West of Europe, from North America and more
recently from Northern Africa. We intend to widen further this diversity
by asking contributions from South America countries.
- the conference focuses on training for engineering professions in a wide
sense, in either academic or industrial contexts. If in the past, numerous
contributions concerned Electronics, Physics, Mechanics, we wish to widen
the panel by considering domains such as Biology, Medicine, Chemistry, Computer
Science, environment, aeronautics, etc.
- the conference must be a place of exchanges around practical applications
of models and methods in real training situations. While theoretical contributions
are encouraged, we wish that every scientific proposal be accompanied by
a demonstration/experimentation to demonstrate its coherence and feasibility.
We shall insist in particular on the effective integration of solutions
in real training contexts (taking into account material, social and cultural
contingencies).
- the conference being oriented toward scientific and technical fields,
we shall consider with a special attention, specific applications such as
simulations, micro-worlds and tele-manipulations, their integration in open
and distant education, and their modalities of production and exploitation.
We shall focus, in particular, on the concepts of virtual classroom, virtual
laboratory, project-oriented pedagogy, collaborative approaches, synchronous
and asynchronous monitoring, production processes, production environments
and authoring approaches
