This proposal by Tim Anderson and Marc Hoit from the University of Florida focuses on a learning-centered education approach and meeting engineering community needs effectively. Conference proceedings will be peer-reviewed and available on the web and CD-ROM. The event aims to foster collaboration and present selected papers in a special issue of an engineering education journal. The best dates suggested are in 2003 or 2005-2006, preferably the third week of August. The co-chairs, Tim Anderson and Marc Hoit, are highly qualified individuals. The University of Florida, a premier US engineering school, is proposed as the host institution due to its attractive campus and facilities. The conference venue offers state-of-the-art facilities and easy access through three international airports. Attendees can also enjoy various social and cultural events, including museum visits, tours, and trips to iconic attractions like Disney and Kennedy Space Center. The proposed conference budget includes a $400 registration fee, potentially reduced through corporate sponsorship and support from iNEER and ICEE/ISC.
