The Association is operational managedthough an Executive Committee elected by the members at its annual general meeting held atits annual national conference. As indicated earlier both ACED and EA have representationon the Executive group. It is the Executive that awards the annual conference on a Page 21.7.6competitive basis, plans the annual workshops and bids for funding from ACED. Theoutcomes for 2010 to 2012 are listed in Table 2. It is also worth noting that the tyranny ofdistance has not deterred its effectiveness, which is an

Figure 5: Images of classroom activity in ACE Room using Maple and sensorsSince 2010, we have implemented the DE course in this ACE classroom following the NorthCarolina University SCALE-UP model42. This last learning environment is called the ACERoom (Student Centered Learning, ACE41,43,44). It is designed for students to be highlycollaborative and to foster active learning. In addition to the technology described, it also has atouch HP laptop per team equipped with Internet; the mathematical softwares Maple,Mathematica and MatLab already installed on it and the possibility to have visibility and controlover the work on each laptop in the

He is a Fellow of the American Society for Engineering Education, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Institution of Engineers of Ireland, the Ac- creditation Board for Engineering and Technology, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce. He was a Senior Fellow of the American Council on Education in 1988-90. Recently, Dr. Jones has been most active in consulting on the enhancement of engineering education in developing countries, and in chairing volunteer activi- ties in that

Caroline’s engineering education work has also been recognised with an Aus- tralasian Association for Engineering Education Award for Excellence in Curriculum Innovation (2003) and the UQ Vice Chancellor’s Award for Internationalisation (2010). Caroline has also been involved in the development of international partnerships including the first Australian - French and Australian - German double degrees in engineering. She has just completed a national project looking at the use of Page 21.43.1 Engineers without Borders projects (EWB Design

Look at the student competency outcomes outlined by the following engineering program accrediting agencies: Engineers’ Australia, ABET, Inc. and EUR-ACE®, and at the CDIO Syllabus to get a feel for the engineering competencies that are considered to be important around the world. 2.

Michael Auer is Founding-President and CEO of the ”International Association of Online Engineering” (IAOE) since 2006, a non-governmental organization that promotes the vision of new engineering working environments worldwide. In September 2010 he was elected as President of the ”International Society of Engineering Education” (IGIP).

In 2010, the task force report was delivered and approved by the Provost andthe Board, and the resulting framework for development, improvement, and evaluation of study Page 21.19.3abroad experiences has been widely adopted as the set of "best practices" at our university,although they are not specifically calibrated for engineering students9. In brief, the resultingGCOs focus on five broad educational outcomes falling into four basic classes (knowledge, skill,attitude about self and culture, and action): 1. Students apply their knowledge to create a global frame of
