IEEE First International Conference on 
Multi-Media Engineering Education (M2E2)
Melbourne Australia, July 6-8, 1994.


Conference Theme:

Reaching new frontiers in multi-media engineering education is the 
theme of this conference. The aim is to present cutting edge teaching 
techniques in all disciplines of engineering through the use of multi-
media facilities. The objective is to achieve efficient and effective 
ways of course material delivery, novel approaches to tutoring, 
optimum utilisation of resources, and enhancement of learning. 

A comprehensive programme has been planned for this conference. The 
programme will include plenary sessions led by world renowned experts 
in the field, invited keynote speakers, invited sessions, and 
demonstrations of state-of-the-art multi-media based techniques in 
education. Experts from suppliers of multi-media equipment will 
present their latest products.

Although the main thrust of this conference is multi-media engineering 
education, other related contributions are also sought.

Venue and Facilities: The conference will be held in Melbourne, 
Australia. Melbourne, the world's most livable city, is renowned for 
its unique mix of continental and international cuisine, exquisite 
shopping centres, beautiful parks and gardens, and its night life.

The university of Melbourne, one of the oldest and most famous 
universities in Australia, will host the event. The university is 
within walking distance of the city centre and major restaurants and 
food outlets. The conference will have available to speakers a host of 
modern multi-media lecture theatres and computing facilities. Among 
other standard equipment, the lecture theatres are equipped with video 
projectors which can be driven by (i) VCR's using PAL or NTSC format; 
(ii) sun workstations; (iii) PC 486; or (iv) Macintosh. There will 
also be laboratories equipped with sets of 20 sun workstations, PC 
486's and Macintosh's.

Submitted Contributions:  Two categories of submitted contributions 
are sought.

Category 1: This includes contributions accompanied by demonstrations 
of the medium used. These will be given high priority. The length of 
these contributions should not exceed ten A4 pages.

Category 2: This includes papers which describe techniques and 
teaching methodologies without demonstrations. The length of this 
should not exceed six A4 pages. 

Invited Contributions: Proposals for invited sessions are encouraged. 
These proposals should be sent to the Conference Secretariat address 
no later than 3 January, 1994. The proposal should include a list of 
invited authors, a brief resume of each author, and a 500 word long 
abstract for each paper. The category, length, and format of invited 
contributions are the same as for submitted contributions.

Contributions with extra pages will attract a fee of $100 per page.

Journal publications:  A selected number of these contributions will 
be published in special issues of the International Journal of 
Engineering Education and the Australasian Journal of Engineering 
Education.

Format: All papers should be printed or typed on a standard A4 size 
white paper and on one side of the paper. The following format 
instructions should be closely followed: 2 columns with 5mm space 
between the two columns, 25mm left and right margins, 30mm top and 
bottom margins, 12 point Times font or equivalent. Single spacing 
should be used. Main headings should be in capital letters, bold, and 
numbered. Subheadings should be in small letters, except for the 
first, bold and numbered. Figures and Tables should appear next to 
where they first mentioned, numbered as Fig. (1), for example, with a 
caption appearing below the Figure or Table and centred. References 
should be referred to and cited in a standard IEEE format.

Copyright and Conference Language: The copyright of all contributions 
will be transferred to the IEEE, and authors must sign a declaration 
to this effect. The official conference language is English. Papers 
written in other languages will not be considered. Authors from non 
English speaking countries are advised to consult a translator for the 
preparation of their manuscript.

Assessment Procedure: Three copies of full papers should be sent to 
the conference Secretariat by 31 January, 1994. Authors of accepted 
papers will be notified by 14 March, 1994. The notification letter 
will be accompanied by, among other material, a registration form. 
Authors must fill out these forms and send them back with the final 
paper and a cheque to the Conference Secretariat by 9 May, 1994. It 
must be stressed that under no circumstances will a paper be further 
processed if it is not accompanied by a completed registration form 
and fees.
