John of University College London

Biography:

John E. Mitchell is a Professor of Communications Systems Engineering in the UCL Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and Co-Director of the Centre for Engineering Education in the UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences. His research is focused on optical and wireless access systems, considering optical fibre access, millimeter-wave radio access, as well as systems that combine these two areas, specifically to support mobile front/back haul systems. This work has been funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the European Union (FP7, Marie-Curie), the UK Technology Strategy Board (TSB) and industry (including BT and SELEX ES). Between 2012 and 2016 he led the introduction of the Integrated Engineering Programme, a major revision of the curriculum across the engineering faculty. He has published widely on curriculum development, active learning and issues of diversity within engineering education as well as in optical and wireless access systems including work on optical fibre access, millimeter-wave radio access and radio-over-fibre technologies to support mobile front/back haul systems.

Ann of Miami University

Abstract: The Education Society’s premier education research journal supports a venue that members working in academia can use to disseminate innovations in post-secondary engineering education. Published innovations are rigorously assessed to ensure the validity of claimed learning outcomes in their classroom application. For those members who are outside of academics, consulting our journal for cutting-edge topics in their engineering discipline provide the benefit of keeping on top of the latest developments, thereby supporting lifelong learning.

Sambit of National Institute of Technology Rourkela

Abstract: The lecture on "The art of research publishing: A tour for early career researchers" attempts to address early career researchers helping them with a comprehensive guide to improve their ability to publish their research. Due to lack of some basic understandings, excellent researchers miss out opportunities of publication or fail to create the impression they deserve. This talk helps to grasp the basic fundamentals and methods that makes a research appealing to editors and readers and thus makes the chance of acceptance and visibility higher.

Minjuan of San Diego State University

Abstract: This presentation will provide an introduction to this growing journal and an overview of its scope and focus. The Editors (Wang and her associate- Zappatore) will zoom into the “trendy” topics, upcoming special issues, the review process, and the author resources center. They will also share tips for successful publishing a research paper in this journal, from submission to revision to effective communication with the editorial board.

Biography:

As of July 2022, the IEEE Education Society’s Board of Governors appointed Dr. Minjuan Wang, Professor of Learning Design and Tech at San Diego State University, and iLRN’s VP in International Relations, as the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies (TLT).

Established in 2008, IEEE-TLT currently has a high impact factor and is considered a top-tier journal by several international academic journal ranking systems. It is one of the very few journals that are indexed by SSCI, SCI, and EI. Mark J. W. Lee, who is a current member of the EdSoc BoG and iLRN board, served as its EiC from January 2019 - June 2022. View IEEE TLT on IEEE Xplore.
