ICEED 2009 and the Rasch Model....

The 2009 IEEE International Congress on Engineering Education (ICEED 2009) was officially launched today. The Two-Day Congress focuses on Eight themes namely (i) Accreditation and Evaluation; (ii) Industry and Education Collaboratyion; (iii) New Technologies in Education; (iv)Academic Knowledge VS Industrial Needs (v)New Technologies (vi)Outcome-Based Education (vii) Engineering Education Reforms and (viii) Research & Development in Engineering Education. With some very interesting set ups, the Congress began with some keynote addresses in the morning. This is followed by parallel paper presentations based on the eight themes. Then, there's tutorial on OBE. The paper titled "Modern Measurement Paradigm in Engineering Education: Easier to Read and Better Analysis Using the Rasch-Based Approach" by Hamzah Ahmad and Mohd Saidfudin Mas'odi won the overall best article. Seriously, a lot of the papers could easily be adopted by other accounting and management-based programs.
