It is with great sadness that JEE reports the passing of Professor Edmund I. Ko. Ed was a senior associate editor of JEE and a leader in the engineering education community. Most recently, Ed served as the Director of the Center for Engineering Education Innovation and Adjunct Professor of Chemical Engineering at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Ed's contributions in many different arenas will be missed.

The Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions (LACCEI) invites paper or extended abstract submissions by March 1, 2012 for review for acceptance to the 10th Latin American and Caribbean Conference for Engineering and Technology to be held in Panama City, Panama on July 23-27, 2012. The theme of the conference is "Megaprojects: Building Infrastructure by Fostering Engineering Collaboration, Efficient and Effective Integration and Innovative Planning." The refereed papers are subjected to double-blind review, the accepted papers will be published archived online, and the best pedagogical papers will be invited to submit extended versions to the LACCEI Journal on Engineering Education, indexed by LATINDEX.

Call for Participation, Second Seminar of Nordic Network in Engineering Education Research (NNEER), Mustion Linna, Finland, 25-27 May, 2011 The goals of the seminar include identifying joint research questions, which could be tackled in international collaboration and/or with different methodological approaches, so that the strengths of different research groups or individual researchers could support each other. We also aim to discuss how we could jointly support research training and Ph.D. work instruction in the area.

The 2011 Research in Engineering Education Symposium to be held October 4 - 7, 2011 in Madrid, Spain. The call for papers is available and an extension of the deadline is anticipated. This is the continuation of the series previously held as ICREE in Honolulu (USA) and REES in Davos (Switzerland) and Palm Cove (Australia). In contrast with many other engineering education conferences, this meeting promotes extended discussion of a smaller number of research works in progress.
