Workshop on Games in Engineering & Computer Science (GECS)

Workshop Dates: June 3 & 4, 2010
Venue: Arlington, VA
Website: http://gecs.tamu.edu
Application Deadline: April 10, 2010

Applications are invited for a Workshop on Games in Engineering and
Computer Science (GECS). This workshop is intended to explore the
opportunities and challenges that are presented by and for the use of
games and game-based solutions in engineering and computer science
education.

The workshop format will be highly interactive and all participants
will have an opportunity and be expected to contribute. A variety of
sessions are planned including individual presentations, panel
discussions and group activities. The workshop has four main themes:
game design, game development, implementation and assessment.

Participation is solicited from scholars and practitioners from all
related disciplines including computer science, engineering,
education, game design and game development. Applicants can be from
academic institutions, industry as well as non-profit groups such as
foundations.

Participants will be selected by the workshop planning committee based
on their contributions to the field and potential to benefit from the
workshop. The goal of the planning committee is to get both thought
leaders as well as beginning practitioners from a broad range of
disciplines and institutions. Lodging, meals and travel reimbursement
for all participants will be provided.
