Notes for Structured Abstracts
- The abstract should be no longer than 250 words.
- Briefly means 1 or 2 sentences.
- Abstracts should not contain references.
- Abstracts should focus on issues in education in electrical and electronics engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and other fields within the scope of interest of IEEE. Manuscript contributions are expected to be applicable to a broad array of constituencies, from many institutions, regions, and countries, so submissions should not focus specifically on one of these classifications. Therefore, references to specific geographic regions, specific institutions, specific programs, etc. should be avoided in the abstract.
- Sections in the abstract depend on the area of scholarship.
- The entire abstract should be in bold. The section labels should also be italicized.
Scholarship of Application
For submission to the area of Scholarship of Application the following sections will be required.
Contribution: Contributions are expected go beyond description of an approach. Briefly describe what has been learned from the study and what is distinctive and/or novel about the approach described in the study.
Background: Briefly describe the rationale for the study presented in manuscript, that is, why is the study needed? The background is expected to establish context that suggests the study has broad application in many programs across the world.
Intended outcomes: Briefly list desired outcomes of the approach.
Application design: Briefly describe the rationale for the selected instructional approach.
Findings: Briefly summarize the findings of the study.
Example:
O. Vojinovic, V. Simic, I. Milentijevic and V. Ciric, "Tiered Assignments in Lab Programming Sessions: Exploring Objective Effects on Students’ Motivation and Performance," in IEEE Transactions on Education, vol. 63, no. 3, pp. 164-172, Aug. 2020, doi: 10.1109/TE.2019.2961647.

Paper submissions: The maximum submission is eight (8) pages, with mandatory page charges after ten (10) pages.
Scholarship of Discovery
For submission to the area of Scholarship of Discovery the following sections will be required.
Contribution: Briefly describe the new knowledge emerging from the study.
Background: Briefly describe the rationale for the study presented in manuscript. The background is expected to provide a rationale for the study, that is, why is the study needed? The background is expected to establish context that suggests the study has broad application in many programs across the world.
Research Questions: Briefly present the research questions that the study is intended to address.
Methodology: Briefly describe the research methodology with which the study was done. This section should briefly mention limitations of the study, e.g., small sample size, etc.
Findings: Briefly summarize the findings of the study.
