Submit your Full Paper

Full paper submissions are now CLOSED.

Please click on the 'Submit a paper' button to the right to go to TE2024 ConfTool full paper submission and conference registration site.

All papers will be double-blind peer reviewed and we aim to get reviews done in 2 weeks. The sooner you submit the sooner the notification should arrive.  

You will need to generate a PDF of your full submission, in the TE format. To help with this, we have provided a template you can use. 

Topical areas of research at TE2024

You will also be asked to classify your submission in relation to one for the topical areas of that TE research tends to fit into. These are:

Collaboration and Teamwork: Any studies where the focus is on how engineers collaborate or operate in teams (especially across academic boundaries or across academic-industrial divides), or how engineering analysis, tools, technologies or techniques can better help understand effective collaboration or teamwork.

Education and training: Any studies looking at how transdisciplinary engineering concepts can be embedded into education practices at university or in professional training provision. This can be both empirical studies as well as theoretical or conceptual contributions.

Social studies of engineering: This incorporates any empirical research or conceptualisation of engineering and engineering practice generally by social scientists, philosophers, historians, or ethicists looking at the role of engineers and addressing key questions on justice, governance, marginalisation through engineering and how to address these challenges.

Engineering modelling & simulation: This covers computer-based approaches, digital twins and related decision-support tools. The main focus on this is about the way in which modelling is carried out and how it supports or prevents effective transdisciplinary practice in engineering, and how transdisciplinary engineering can make better models and simulations.

Product design & development: This covers any studies looking specifically at product design and how transdisciplinary engineering - working across engineering boundaries between academia and industry or wider society, and/or across academic disciplines in product design leads to challenges or opportunities for better outcomes.

Industry 4.0/5.0: This covers any studies looking at the major trends in the way industry is developing and incoporating new technologies to create "smart systems" including the deployment of IoT devices with a view to generating greater human-centricity or sustainability outcomes.

Value chain management: This covers any studies focusing on exploring the role of transdisciplinary engineering around risk in the value chain, how to be agile as well as operation and system management. 

NEW TOPICS

Conceptual issues in transdisciplinary engineering:  This covers any theoretical or conceptual reflections on what TE is or could be, how it relates to other concepts across or outside engineering in or out of educational contexts. Especially encourage interdisciplinary collaboration here.

Relfections on engineering practice: This covers any study looking at how engineers work and exploring critically what that means in terms of outcomes - for the product or process, for the organisations or communities involved or wider society.

Decision-making and analysis: This covers any approach seeking to understand or deploy engineering decision-making tools or practices ideally in other situations or combining approaches or techniques across or outside engineering. Especially welcome those that combine across engineering and other disciplines.

Technology, engineering and society: This covers any study looking at the novel application of a specific technology or technical process in an engineering context, ideally with some consideration of the wider human or social (i.e. inter-human) or societal (i.e. groups or community-level organisation and political power) reflections or considerations. 

Environment and sustainability: This covers any study looking at how engineering and/or engineering techniques, collaborating with other disciplines and/or stakeholders helps address environmental and sustainability challenges facing society.

Can't see which one to submit into? Don't worry, as long as your paper is focused on Transdisciplinary Engineering - that is, it is in scope for the conference - we can consider it. Choose the closest option above and use the keywords to target it further. Or you can add a note to the review committee indicating how you would classify it.
