(Havana, Cuba. June 6th to 9th , 2000)

The Department of Physics of the "José Antonio Echeverría" Higher Polytechnic Institute (ISPJAE), Havana, Cuba, is pleased to announce the "IV International Workshop on Physics Teaching in Engineering" (EFING'2000) and the "1st. Iberoamerican Workshop of Applied Physics in Engineering" that will take place simultaneously to the EFING'2000. The workshop is aimed at fostering a fruitful, long-lasting exchange of ideas and knowledge on current problems of crucial importance for the physics teaching and applied physics in engineering.

General objectives
