Academic publisher SAGE has announced the purchase of International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education (IJEEE) and the International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education (IJMEE), both previously published by Manchester University Press. The purchase of both journals is effective from Volume 51, Issue 4 (IJEEE), and Volume 42, Issue 4 (IJMEE) due to be published to complete the 2014 Volume year.
The International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education, under the newly appointed editorship of Dr Geoff Rubner, Manchester University, dates back to 1948 when the world's first stored-programme digital computer ran at the University of Manchester. In 1963, the Bulletin of Electrical Engineering Education evolved into the International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education (IJEEE). IJEEE provides a showcase for international developments in the undergraduate teaching of electrical engineering and electronics, from power systems to nanotechnology.
The International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education, edited by Dr Din Wang, Brunel University, is aimed at teachers and trainers of mechanical engineering students in higher education and focuses on the discussion of the principles and practices of training professional, technical and mechanical engineers and those in related fields. It encourages articles about new experimental methods, and laboratory techniques, and includes book reviews and highlights of recent articles in this field.
