Global Engineering Education (GEE) Forum is an engineering education centered division of the Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Society International (IEOM). This two-day virtual conference will focus on engineering education during the disruption caused by the world-wide COVID pandemic, and intended to bring together researchers and practitioners with interest in online and virtual learning environment and techniques used in teaching in these modes.

IEOM Society has been conducting international conferences with primary focus on industrial and systems engineering as well as operations management and related subject over the past decades. The IEOM conferences have been attended by over 15,000 from over 65 counties. In each of these conferences there has always been a separate track on GEE. However, this virtual conference will be IEOM’s first attempt in offering a conference dedicated solely to GEE.

Track Themes

The 2020 Global Engineering Education Conference invites researchers and educators to deliver virtual presentations on any of the following track themes:

Challenges in effectively instructing technical subjects (both lecture and laboratory) during the COVID pandemic disruption
Investigation and comparison of the effectiveness of various online/virtual delivery modes
Teaching/learning tools, hardware/software, and methodologies used in online/virtual environment, and their suitability in delivering online/virtual classes
Methods and techniques for measuring and comparing the effectiveness of online/virtual vs face to face classes

Gil graduated with a BSME from Purdue University in 1985. Upon graduation, he worked for General Motors, starting his career at the CPC Powertrain Manufacturing site in Pontiac Michigan. His first assignment was to develop a test stand to measure engine noise in the factory. After 4 years in manufacturing, he moved into product engineering, focusing on powertrain noise and vibration development. During this time, he received his MSE degree in 1996 from Purdue University with a focus on mechanical sciences. In 1998, Gil changed his career path to join a small software company, LMS International, as a sales engineer. As a senior account manager, he was responsible for managing the Asian Automotive OEM’s based in the US, including Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and Hyundai, with a focus on selling highly technical solutions and services for NVH, ride & handling, durability, and system development. Gil remained in sales after LMS was acquired by Siemens in 2014. In 2016, he left corporate sales to finish his career in academia. Over the past 4 years, he has been a program manager with the strategic university program. In this current role, he works with academic partners of Siemens to promote curriculum change and workforce development to address the needs of industry.
