Visualizing Change: Graphics on the Horizon

65th Mid Year Conference Call for Papers

What is the future of engineering graphics education? How are today’s educators meeting the demands of students who are technologically savvy, adept at multitasking , and accustomed to having information at their fingertips? Share your ideas and success stories at the Engineering Design Graphics Division mid‐year conference.
   
Authors are invited to submit abstracts for the conference. Two different presentation formats are available: 1) Papers, and 2) Posters.
Papers:
Abstracts and papers are peer‐reviewed. Authors of accepted papers must present their paper
at the conference. The paper will be included in the conference proceedings.
Posters:
Posters are to be presented at a media showcase. The EDGD media session is intended to be an interactive session which allows the authors to discuss their topics or illustrate/demonstrate techniques in a one-on-one interaction with the audience. Authors may choose to use a computer display and/or physical props or models in additon to the poster. Simply posting a paper does not meet the intent of the showcase. Display boards and tables will be provided. If you want your posted included in the conference proceedings, submit your poster by August 31, 2010. Materials should be submitted to norma@mtu.edu.
