ICMERE 2021

It is our privilege to cordially invite you to the 6th International Conference on Mechanical Engineering and Renewable Energy (ICMERE 2021) to be held on 12 - 14 December 2021 in Chattogram, Bangladesh. The Department of Mechanical Engineering, Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET) is organizing the conference in association with the Mechanical Engineering Division, Institution of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB).The event will be adorned with the participation of renowned keynote speakers, invited speakers, scientists, researchers, experts, and participants from industries through oral presentations in different keynote and technical sessions. This conference will provide opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas, to establish relations of business or research as well as to find global partners for future collaborations. We hope that the outcome of the conference will lead to significant contributions to core technology through exchanges of up-to-date scientific knowledge in these fields. CUET is one of the leading engineering universities in Bangladesh situated alongside the Chattogram Kaptai Road, 25 km far away from the main city. It is noteworthy to be mentioned that the natural beauty and landscape around a valley with precious varieties of flora and fauna making the campus a natural arboretum. CUET sets its guiding principle to foster the best professional competence by coupling pedagogy and research in relevance to the real-world problems. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I would like to invite all the scientific communities to participate in this conference and present the papers. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the conference will be in hybrid mode (both online and offline).Looking forward to welcoming you to ICMERE 2021.
