Papers to be considered for inclusion in the World Transactions on Engineering and Technology Education should be submitted directly to the Editor-in-Chief. Original papers, not previously published, will be considered for publication on the basis of referee reports from at least two independent international referees. Authors of papers accepted will be required to transfer copyrights to the publisher. All contributions must be in English. Papers must follow the Journal’s style, as per the stylefile and instructions for authors. The journal follows the International System of Units (SI), and the standard UK English spelling. Papers will be fully edited and English corrected to ensure standard English form and expression.

The publisher reserves the right not to return original manuscripts submitted for publication. Contributions in the form of a paper should comprise three identical printed copies, and an MS Word file on a 3.5" diskette suitable for an IBM PC. In preparing their papers, authors are kindly asked to strictly adhere to the stylefile and instructions for authors.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

The UICEE aims to produce a volume of the World Transactions on Engineering and Technology Education with as uniform an appearance as possible, and it is therefore requested that you conform to these instructions when preparing your article.

DEADLINE

As indicated in the call for contributions, original manuscript (camera-ready copy printed on white A4 paper) plus two copies and save on disk, as an MS Word document file must reach the UICEE by the deadline to ensure that the article is immediately forwarded to the referees. The documents and disks must be sent to:

Monash University - UICEE

Building 70

Wellington Road

Clayton, Melbourne, VIC 3800, Australia

Late contributions may be considered for inclusion in a future issue of the World Transactions.

ARTICLE SIZE

The maximum length for articles is four (4) pages and these must be submitted in camera-ready form, arranged on white paper, A4 size (210x297mm). The Transactions will not be reproduced from original submissions but the fully prepared article is needed for editorial work. Articles exceeding 4 pages in total length will be charged a levy of $A100 per page.

TYPEFACE AND LINE SPACING

Those with laser printers should select a Times Roman font of 10-pt size on 12-pt line spacing (6 lines per inch). Articles must be fully justified, with the text in single-line spacing, and one-line spacing between paragraphs. Do not indent paragraphs. Before submitting your final copy to the UICEE, please copy your article into the required stylefile, available from the UICEE. In brief, the correct page layout settings are as follows:

Page Setup Margins: Top:     0.9 cm Bottom: 1.5 cm Left:     1. 1 cm Right:    1.1 cm From Edge Header: 0.8 cm Footer: 0 cm

Format Columns Number of columns: 2 Width and Spacing Width    Spacing 9 cm     0.8 cm

TITLE, AUTHOR AND ABSTRACT

The title should have only the first word capitalised (along with any proper names). Author(s), affiliation(s), city and country should use first capital letter and lower case. Do not abbreviate the affiliation.

ABSTRACT

Please provide a concise abstract of the article in not more than 10 lines in single column format. After the abstract, there must be two lines left open between the abstract and the actual text.

THE TEXT

The text of the article should be arranged in two columns. The text (or first heading) of the article must start two lines beneath the abstract. The second and consecutive pages must start from the top of the new page. Do not leave space at the top of the new page. Make sure that the left-hand and right-hand columns of text are balanced, top and bottom. Please ensure that the columns on the last page of the article are evenly balanced.

HEADINGS

Section headings must be in upper case and should not be in bold. For subsection headings, use Title Case (also not in bold). Leave one line between headings and text.

TABLES, FIGURES AND CAPTIONS

Please number illustrations consecutively, ie Figure 1, 2, 3, etc, and place the captions underneath the figures. The numbering of tables should be arranged as Table 1, 2, 3, etc, with the captions placed above the tables. Both figures and tables should be incorporated in the body of the text.

REFERENCES

References should be listed as they appear in the text. List and number all references at the end of the article. Refer to them in the text with a corresponding bracketed reference number. Arrange references as follows:
