The China–Europe International Symposium on Software Industry Oriented Education was initialized from an international education project, EMERSION project (Education to Meet the Requirements of Software Industry and Beyond— Establishing, Implementing and Evaluating an Industry Oriented Education Model in China), which is supported by the ‘‘Asia-Link Programme’’ of European Commission, with the collaboration of Dublin Institute of Technology (DIT) in Ireland, Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in China and University of Wolverhampton (UOW) in the United Kingdom. During the EMERSION project, the project members would like to share the educational achievements and experience with more universities and institutes in Europe and in China. In January 2005, launched by the members of the EMERSION project, the 1st China–Europe International Symposium on Software Industry Oriented Education was held in HIT, Harbin in China. The initial short name of the symposium was CEIS-SIOE. In January 2006, the 2nd CIES-SIOE was again held in HIT, Harbin. In that conference, it was decided that this conference should be held every year in exchanged sides of either China or Europe. Then the 3rd China–Europe International Symposium on Software Industry Oriented Education was held in DIT, Dublin in Ireland, in February 2007. The initial short name of the symposium was changed from CEIS-SIOE to CEISIE. The 4th CEISIE symposium was held in Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou in China, in January 2008. The 5th CEISIE symposium was held in University of Bordeaux 1, Bordeaux in France, in May 2009. The 6th CEISIE symposium took place in Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an in China, in May 2010. The 7th CEISIE symposium was held in University of Northampton, Northampton in UK, in May 2011. Then it was decided to change the name of the symposium from CEISIE to CEISEE (China– Europe International symposium on Software Engineering Education), in order to ix x CEISEE Objectives extend the scopes of the conference and to emphasize the development of discipline on software engineering. The 8th CEISEE symposium was held in Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai in China, in May 2012. The CEISIE/CEISEE symposiums have been very successful and attracted great attention from educators, industrialists, and governmental officers, who are interested in software engineering education, across China and Europe. Until now, more than 570 participants from 16 countries, e.g., China, Ireland, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Russia, USA, Australia, Tanzania, and South Korea have attended the symposiums. The CEISEE aims at exploring new approaches to develop the software engineering discipline and software engineering education in both China and Europe, according to the changing tendency of technical development of software engineering and educational requirements of the software talents all over the world. The CEISEE is a good platform for educators, industrialists, and government officers related to software engineering education to exchange their ideas, to share their experience, and to develop their academic community in this domain. CEISEE 2013: Topics The 9th CEISEE symposium was held in Milan, Italy, in May 2013. It was organized by the University of Pavia. Pavia is among the oldest European universities, and it was founded in 1361 by the Duke of Milan. Differently from most Italian universities, Pavia is a University city, with 25 colleges and student halls, like Oxford or Cambridge. The University of Pavia has been always ranked among the top Italian universities, and had Professors such as Volta (the inventor of the electric pile), Cardano (the inventor of the cardanic joint and of cubic equations), Golgi (a Nobel Prize in Medicine), etc. In cooperation with Pavia, the symposium was organized by the University of Milano Bicocca, the youngest university in Milan, founded in 1998, and Politecnico di Milano, the largest technical university in Italy, founded some 100 years ago. The symposium was hosted by AICA, the Italian Society for Information Technology, which is associated to ACM. The theme of CEISEE 2013 was Software Engineering Education for Global E-Service Economy. In general terms, the topics of CEISEE 2013 included: • Education model for software engineering • Development of discipline on software engineering • Innovation and evaluation of software engineering education • Curriculum for software engineering education • Requirement and cultivation

  • Past and Future: the Development of Animation Education in China
    Vol. 8(2), pp. 13-17, February, 2016 DOI: 10.5897/IJPC2015.0357 Article Number: A45C2FE57451 International Journal of Psychology and ISSN 2141-2499 Copyright © 2016 Counselling Author(s) retain the copyright of this article http://www.academicjournals.org/IJPC Full Length Research Paper Past and Future: The Development of Animation Education in China Henry Ma The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. Received 13 August, 2015; Accepted 9 October, 2015 The rapid development of cultural and creative industries in China induces a growth in the development of intellectual property. Some of the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are gradually transforming themselves into original design manufacturers (ODMs) and original brand manufacturers (OBMs). The animation industry also benefits from the Government’s policy support and starts to develop and produce original titles animation. The change of production direction creates a great demand for creative workers, and naturally, the educational institutes become the obvious source for this creative talent. In 2014, the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China released a new General Higher Education Undergraduate Major Study Catalogue. This new catalogue put animation under the Theatre, Film and Television category. The changes made by all those institutions that do not focus on film and television study stop offering animation program as a major study. As animation industry is considered as a major developing area in China, a cut back of animation education programs will certainly affect the number of graduates in the coming years. By studying substantial literature on animation education development in China and interviewing a total of 48 teachers and students from 10 animation programs in Beijing, this paper traced the historical development of animation education in China, commented on the recent issues identified in the animation education and further argued about the changes that will actually benefit the future growth of animation education in China.

  • “ROBO RUGBY 7S”
    ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest 2020 Suva, Fiji THEME & RULES “ROBO RUGBY 7s” August 2020 ABU Asia-Pacific Robot Contest 2020 Suva, Fiji Host Organising Committee http://aburobocon2020.com.fj 1 1 ABU Robocon 2020 Suva Contest Theme “ROBO RUGBY 7s” The concept of the contest: The ABU Robocon 2020 Suva contest is to play rugby 7’s game using two robots and five obstacles as five defending players. The highlight of this game is how the two robots collaborate to score Try and the Goal Kick. The main and unique challenge of this game will be Goal Kick, kicking the Kick Ball over the cross bar of the conversion post because of the unique shape of the rugby ball. The audience will be fascinated if the robot made all the Goals successfully. We are looking forward to witnessing exciting games of unique robots built by the young budding engineers in Suva, Fiji. Based on this concept, ABU Robocon 2020 Suva is designed to promote the idea of “Rugby 7’s”. A game is between Red and Blue teams. It lasts three minutes at most. Each team has two robots known as Pass Robot (PR) and Try Robot (TR). The two robots can be either manual or automatic. The PR starts from the PR Start Zone. The PR picks up one Try Ball from the Ball Rack and passes the Try Ball from the Passing Zone to TR located in the Receiving Zone. The TR starts from the TR Start Zone and moves into the Receiving Zone to receive the Try Ball from PR.
