M.E.Auer

Prof. Dr.sc., Dr.-Ing. Michael E. Auer


Michael E. Auer received his Ing. degree (1971) and his Ph.D. degree (1975) with a thesis on “Design and Analysis of ECL Circuits” from the Dresden University of Technology. From 1974‑91 he was an assistant professor at the faculties Electrical Engineering and Informatics of this University. From 1991-95 he was with F+O Electronic Systems GmbH, Heidelberg (Head of software department).

His research was related to high-speed digital circuits (ECL), real time and network programming, embedded control systems, programming in C, C++, PERL, system- and network administration of heterogeneous networks, telelearning/teleteaching, remote working environments.

In 1995 Michael Auer was appointed Professor of Electrical Engineering of the School of Electronics at Carinthia Tech Institute, Villach, Austria and has also a teaching position at the University of Klagenfurt. Furthermore works as a visiting professor at the Universities of Amman (Jordan), Brasov (Romania) and Patras (Greece).

He is a senior member of IEEE and member of VDE, IGIP, etc., author or co-author of more than 150 publications and leading member of numerous national and international organizations in the field of online technologies. He is founder and general chair of the annual International Conference “Interactive Computer aided Learning” (ICL, www.icl-conference.org), chair of the steering committee of the annual International Conference “Remote Engineering and Virtual Instrumentation” (REV, www.online-lab.net/rev ) and chair or member of the Program Committees of several international conferences and workshops. In 2009 he was appointed as member of the Advisory Board of the European Learning Industry Group (ELIG, http://www.elig.org )

Michael Auer has experience in leading of several national and international projects in the fields of remote engineering and technology supported learning. Under his guidance international teams developed a Joint European Master Study Program “Remote Engineering” (EU project MARE) and a Joint European Bachelor Study Program “Information Technology” (EU project BIT2010).

He is editor-in-chief of the International Journals of “Online Engineering” (iJOE, www.i-joe.org ), “Emerging Technologies in Learning” (iJET, www.i-jet.org ) and “Interactive Mobile Technolgies” (iJIM, www.i-jim.org ). Furthermore he acts as an associated editor for Middle and Eastern Europe of the “European Journal of Open and Distance Learning” (EURODL, www.eurodl.org ).

In June 2006 Michael Auer was elected as President and CEO of the “International Association of Online Engineering” (IAOE), a non-governmental organization that promotes the vision of new engineering working environments worldwide.
