After two successful workshops, in Portorož,
Slovenia in 2002 and Madeira, Portugal in 2003, the meetings of the teachers
devoted to Construction Informatics took root. The third workshop will be
organised in conjunction with the ECPPM
conference in Istanbul, in the second week of September 2004.
Workshop Aims
The rapid development of Information Technology (IT) has provided great
potentials for improving the building and construction process as well as
the built environment itself. To realise this potential, we need to equip
new graduates and building professionals with the right IT skills through
education and training. What to teach, when to teach and how to teach IT has
become a hot discussion topic in many building and construction departments
and faculties. In addition, the emergence of multimedia and on-line teaching
and learning systems has changed the way teaching is delivered.
In recent years, more and more papers appeared on topics of teaching IT and
teaching using IT in many construction IT conferences. Now we would like to
move this question onto the stage. The aim of this workshop is to provide a
dedicated forum for people with common interests in Construction Information
Technology in Education.
Expected Audience and Call for Papers
Academics, researchers, industrialists, professionals policy makers, funding
bodies concerned with Construction Information Technology in Education are
encouraged to participate and contribute with their knowledge and experience
to the workshop.
Papers are invited for topics related to Construction Information Technology
in Education. Themes of interest include, but are not restricted to the
following ones:
-
IT subjects in building and construction curricula
-
IT subjects in Architecture
-
IT training and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
courses
-
IT skills demand and supply
-
