The purpose of the first International Conference on E-Learning in
Industrial Electronics (ICELIE) is to provide a forum for
presentation and discussion of modern education and electronic
learning methods for teaching in the field of industrial electronics.
This conference is co-sponsored by the IEEE Industrial Electronics,
the IEEE Region 8 and the IEEE France Section.
