Application of Information Technology to Engineering and Science Education

IEEE教育学会关于“信息技术在工程与科学教育中的应用”的专题提案1996年8月，IEEE教育学会将出版一期《汇刊》特刊，并附一张CD-ROM，标题为“信息技术在工程和科学教育中的应用”，以演示工程和科学学会如何使用WWW/CD -ROM技术来审查、传播，最重要的是，存档软件和多媒体材料。虽然CD-ROM可能包含印刷文章的电子版本，但其主要作用是允许分发和存档与印刷文章有关的特殊材料，例如软件、彩色图形、录像文件、声音文件和附言文件。毫无疑问，这些材料将成为今后所有出版物的一个组成部分。EEE负责出版的副总裁已经批准将这期特刊放在一个广泛宣传、仔细监测的WWW服务器上，从出版前两个月开始，为期四个月，以评估在出版档案期刊方面使用信息技术的成功程度。将CD-ROM视为万维网服务器，以便在Microsoft Windows机器、macintosh或X-Windows机器上运行的万维网浏览器（如Mosaic、Netscape等）可以查看同一张CD-ROM上的文件，从而实现跨平台兼容性。这种实现跨平台兼容性的方法利用了最近WWW的爆炸性使用所产生的跨平台事实标准。尽管Ii4.141教育学会是这项工作的领导者，但EEE计算机学会、美国机械工程师学会和其他学会和实体也被邀请作为共同发起人加入这项工作。共同赞助者将确保这项工作的多学科范围，保证特刊实验得到广泛的关注和分发，并回答目前提出的关于以这种方式使用信息技术的好处的许多问题。然而，由于该问题的制作有额外的成本，因此需要共同发起人和国家科学基金会的财政支持。预计需要基金会的财政支持为$10,000.00。

IEEE Education Society's for Proposal a Special Issue on the "Applications of Information Technologies to Engineering and Science Education" 1. Executive Summary In August of 1996, the IEEE Education Society will publish a special issue of its Transactions, accompanied by a CD-ROM, tided "Applications of Information Technologies to Engineering and Science Education" to demonstrate how WWW/CD ROM technology can be used by engineering and science societies to review, disseminate, and most importandy, archive software and multi-media material. Although the CD-ROM may contain electronic versions of the printed contributions, its main role is to permit distribution and archiving of special material related to the printed articles, such as software, color graphics, video files, sound files and postscript files. There is no doubt that such material will become an integral part of all future publications. The EEE Vice President for Publications has already approved placing the special issue on a widely publicized, carefully monitored WWW server for four months starting two months before publication to assess the success of dhe use of information technology in publishing archival journals To maxirnize the usefulness and impact of dhe special issue, cross-platform compatibility will be achieved by treating the CD-ROM as a World Wide Web (WWW) server so dhat WWW browsers (such as Mosaic, Netscape and others) running on Microsoft Windows machines, Macintoshes or X-Windows machines can view the files on dhe same CD-ROM. This approach to cross-platform compatibility exploits the cross-platform de facto standard that has been generated by dhe recent explosive use of the WWW. Although the Ii4.141 Education Society is leading dhe effort, dle EEE Computer Society, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and other societies and entities are being invited to join the effort as co-sponsors. Co-sponsors will i nsure dhe multidisciplinary scope of the effort will guarantee that the special issue experiment receives widespread visibility and distribution, and answers many of the questions now being posed about dhe benefits of using inforamtion technology in this way. However, since there are added costs for the production of the issue, financial support from the co-sponsors and the NATIONAL SCENCE FOUNDATION is needed. The projected need for financial support from the Foundation is $10,000.00.
