Scope
Aims, scope and focus
IEEE Transactions on Education is published by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. and is in Zone 4 of Education in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Experimental Learning in Engineering, Engineering Education and Pedagogy and Engineering Education and Curriculum Development, together about 42.6% of its articles. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The IEEE Transactions on Education (ToE) publishes significant and original scholarly contributions to education in electrical and electronics engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and other fields within the scope of interest of IEEE. Contributions must address discovery, integration, and/or application of knowledge in education in these fields. Articles must support contributions and assertions with compelling evidence and provide explicit, transparent descriptions of the processes through which the evidence is collected, analyzed, and interpreted. While characteristics of compelling evidence cannot be described to address every conceivable situation, generally assessment of the work being reported must go beyond student self-report and attitudinal data.
