CALL-FOR-PAPERS
TALE 2012
IEEE International Conference on
Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering 2012
20–23 August 2012, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
The IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment,
and Learning for Engineering (TALE) will be held each year
in the Asia-Pacific region (IEEE Region 10) beginning in
2012. It is intended to complement existing conferences
sponsored by the IEEE Education Society, most notably
Frontiers in Education in North America (IEEE Regions 1–7)
and EDUCON in Europe/Middle East/Africa (IEEE Region 8).
The aim of TALE 2012 is to provide a forum for
academicians and professionals from various educational
fields and with cross-disciplinary interests to network,
share knowledge and engage in dialogue around the theme of
fostering innovation and excellence in engineering
education. To this end, both research and
practice-oriented papers are invited that encompass all
aspects of education in the engineering fields (including
computing, computer science, information technology and
cognate disciplines). The conference will feature
traditional paper presentations, workshops, as well as
keynotes by renowned educational experts and authorities.

PAPER SUBMISSION, REVIEW AND PUBLICATION
Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of four
(4) to six (6) A4 pages (including tables, figures and
references) in standard IEEE double-column format. Papers
will be accepted only by electronic submission through the
conference website, from which submission guidelines and a
template for papers are available. A blind-review process
will be used to evaluate all submitted papers. Each full
registration for the conference will cover a maximum of
two papers; each student registration will cover a single
paper only. All accepted and registered papers that are
presented at the conference will be published in the
conference proceedings (CD-ROM/USB) and uploaded to the
IEEE Xplore database, which is indexed by Scopus. The
proceedings will also be submitted for possible indexing
to EI Compendex, ISI Thompson Conference Proceedings
Citation Index (CPCI) and INSPEC.
Awards will be presented to authors of the best papers
presented at the conference. These authors, along with
authors of other selected papers, may be invited to submit
revised and expanded versions for potential publication in
the IEEE Transactions on Education, and/or other refereed
international journals. (The content of the expanded paper
must be substantially different to that of the version
submitted to the conference, and publication is subject to
peer-review acceptance in accordance with the relevant
journal's editorial policies and guidelines.)
