EDITEC

EDITEC a system created to allow the sharing of experiences, documents etc. concerning the education of IT to civil engineering students or practitioners. This is a new field of teaching which is growing in importance. It is no longer sufficient to teach civil engineering students FORTRAN and have them do some exercises using AUTOCAD, but they need to get a more comprehensive picture of what IT is and how it can be used for automating information processing tasks in construction and for reengineering the process as a whole.

In this field there is a lack of textbooks and other teaching material in the form of demo applications,selfcontained presentation slide shows, videos etc. IT technology itself could be used for teaching by setting up demonstartions of concurrent engineering over distances. Techniques such as the INTERNET and CD-ROMS could be used for the dissemination of teaching and self-study material.

In other areas teachers have opted for starting associations (such as eCAADe and ACADIA for architectural schools). Today an email network and a WWW home page seem appropriate.

EDITEC member database

A member database which may be searched by email or through a HTML form was set up to store static information about EDITEC members - mailing, fax and phone addresses, a few paraghraphs on member's interests, vitae, expectations form this list and the topics he/she teaches.

Please write to editec@audrey.fagg.uni-lj.si to get help on how you yourself can add your personal record to this database and how to use it by email.

PLEASE NOTE: The mailing address of the database is not the same as the address for the mailing list !

EDITEC was initiated by Bo-Christer Bjoerk, Professor of Information Technology in Construction
Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden (bjork@ce.kth.se) with some help from Ziga Turk .
