This book presents the general objective of the REV2021 conference which is to contribute and discuss fundamentals, applications, and experiences in the field of Online and Remote Engineering, Virtual Instrumentation, and other related new technologies like Cross Reality, Data Science & Big Data, Internet of Things & Industrial Internet of Things, Industry 4.0, Cyber Security, and M2M & Smart Objects. Nowadays, online technologies are the core of most fields of engineering and the whole society and are inseparably connected, for example, with Internet of Things, Industry 4.0 & Industrial Internet of Things, Cloud Technologies, Data Science, Cross & Mixed Reality, Remote Working Environments, Online & Biomedical Engineering, to name only a few. Since the first REV conference in 2004, we tried to focus on the upcoming use of the Internet for engineering tasks and the opportunities as well as challenges around it. In a globally connected world, the interest in online collaboration, teleworking, remote services, and other digital working environments is rapidly increasing. Another objective of the conference is to discuss guidelines and new concepts for engineering education in higher and vocational education institutions, including emerging technologies in learning, MOOCs & MOOLs, and Open Resources. REV2021 on "Online Engineering and Society 4.0" was the 17th in a series of annual events concerning the area of Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation. It has been organized in cooperation with the International Engineering and Technology Institute (IETI) as an online event from February 24 to 26, 2021.

The National Research Council's Panel on Engineering Interactions with Society was formed to examine the functioning of the engineering profession in the context of, and in relation to, American society. This document presents the findings of the panel. The panel's inquiry was twofold. First, it examined the impact that engineering and technology development has had on the nation, including the impact on societal demands, values, and perceptions on engineering. Next, the panel attempted to assess the structure and development of the engineering profession, and the adaptability of the profession in meeting current and future national needs. Chapters in the document deal with: (1) the evolution of American engineering; (2) the present era (managing change in the information age); (3) engineering and social dynamics; (4) maintaining flexibility in an age of stress and rapid change; and (5) conclusions and recommendations. Appendices include 23 references and a 16-item bibliography, along with an article prepared by Arthur L. Donovan, entitled "Engineering in an Increasingly Complex Society: Historical Perspectives on Education, Practice, and Adaptation in American Engineering." (TW)

This book is one out of 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes and deals with education and the professional ethics, which scientists, regulators and practitioners of engineering geology inevitably have to face through the purposes, methods, limitations and findings of their works. This volume presents contributions on the professional responsibilities of engineering geologists; the interaction of engineering geologists with other professionals; recognition of the engineering geological profession and its particular contribution to society, culture, and economy and implications for the education of engineering geologists at tertiary level and in further education schemes. Issues treated in this volume are: the position of engineering geology within the geo-engineering profession; professional ethics and communication; resource use and re-use; managing risk in a litigious world; engineering and geological responsibility and engineering geology at tertiary level. The Engineering Geology for Society and Territory volumes of the IAEG XII Congress held in Torino from September 15-19, 2014, analyze the dynamic role of engineering geology in our changing world and build on the four main themes of the congress: Environment, processes, issues and approaches. The congress topics and subject areas of the 8 IAEG XII Congress volumes are: Climate Change and Engineering Geology. Landslide Processes. River Basins, Reservoir Sedimentation and Water Resources. Marine and Coastal Processes. Urban Geology, Sustainable Planning and Landscape Exploitation. Applied Geology for Major Engineering Projects. Education, Professional Ethics and Public Recognition of Engineering Geology. Preservation of Cultural Heritage.

Virtual communities are a new frontier in the digital landscape. While these spaces are only in their infancy, it will not be long before they become a part of much of the population’s daily life. Before that becomes the case, it is important that we instill guidelines and parameters to ensure that those interacting with these digital spaces feel safe within them and are able to use them to their fullest capacity. Building Power, Safety, and Trust in Virtual Communities examines how online groups help people learn and change the way they think. In this book, different people with different academic backgrounds, methods, and personal experience with virtual groups look at this question. Case studies are included to help exemplify these findings. Together, these chapters discuss how virtual communities are built in ways that thinkers, researchers, and practitioners can understand.

Around the world, citizens in local communities are utilising ICTs to underpin the creation of a participatory and democratic vision of the network society. Embedded in the richness and diversity of community practice, a vision of a 'civil network society' is emerging. A society where ICTs are harnessed as tools to improve the quality of life and reflect the diversity of social networks; where people are viewed as citizens, not just as consumers, and where heterogeneity is perceived as a strength rather than a weakness. Community Practice in the Network Society looks at the broad context in which this is happening, presents case studies of local projects from around the world, and discusses community ICT research methodologies. Not only does it highlight the symbiotic relationship between community ICT practice and research, but it also provides evidence supporting the case for the development of more inclusive and participatory pathways to the network society.

This book is dedicated to the history and contemporary activities of IGIP that occupies a unique position among world organizations who are focused on Engineering Education. We are currently in the process of transforming education at all levels. This applies in particular to the professional and academic education and training of engineers. To face these current real-world challenges, higher education has to find innovative ways to quickly respond to these new needs. This and completely new technologies in education require specifically new and adapted approaches in Engineering Pedagogy. This book is a continuation of IGIP’s tradition to summarize and analyze intermediate results and foresee the main trends of further development of Engineering Pedagogy. It is written for the 50th anniversary of IGIP and contains valuable historic information as well as memories and opinions of IGIP members and specialists in Engineering Pedagogy. This book is intended for teachers at technical colleges and universities, students, post-graduates, administrative staff of educational institutions, staff of state educational ministries and committees, members of other societies with interest in Engineering Education, staff of personnel agencies, and everyone who is interested in Engineering Education and Pedagogy. Interested readership includes furthermore policymakers, academic researchers in pedagogy and learning theory, schoolteachers, the learning industry, further and continuing education lecturers, etc.
