The hard cover iNEER Special Volumes (click to view details) has been published every year since 2002. The series has an International Standard Serial Number ISSN number 1553-9911 and a U.S. Library of Congress Control No. 2004215784, and each book is identified by a distinct ISBN number. Past issues are still available from purchase through the iNEER website. Each paper is peer reviewed.
Please consider disseminating your innovations if you have recently updated the courses that you teach, helped establish new degree or certificate programs, created new courses or course modules, designed innovative programs to involve students in your research, or otherwise worked on the integration of research and education. Consider the benefits to you and your institution of disseminating and publicizing these and other innovations, sharing experiences and lessons learned, and further enhancing innovation and the productivity of your work through a dialog with members of the international peer community.
Many of you and/or your colleagues in engineering and allied disciplines have published their work in past iNEER Special Volumes. You can see examples of chapters published in Innovations 2011 by clicking here.
Focused on promoting further advances in education and research worldwide through international partnerships, the International Network for Engineering Education and Research (“iNEER Network”) is a non-profit professional organization formed by the world community in engineering and allied fields to foster communication and collaboration. The widening iNEER network of educators and researchers currently covers 98 countries, and is linked through the iNEER website, archival publications, e-mails, conferences, workshops, and retreats. The most recent event of the iNEER Network, ICEE-2011, was hosted by the University of Ulster and held in August 2011 in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Past conferences have been hosted by universities in Portugal, Puerto Rico, Poland, Brazil, Czech Republic, UK, Norway, Taiwan, and USA. In 2012, we will be hosted by Saratov State Technical University, Saratov, Russia, at ICIT-2012 in June, Turku University of Applied Sciences at ICEE-2012 in Turku, Finland in July-August, and by Hong Kong Polytechnic University at iCEER-2012 in November. Copies of Innovations books will be included in the registration packages for these events. We hope you will be able to join us.
