Conference on Engineering Research, Innovation and Education (CERIE 2011)

Abstract

The School of Applied Sciences and Technology, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet, organized a Conference on Engineering Education, Research and Innovation (CERIE), which held on January 11-13, 2011. The organization of the conference was a result of whole-hearted and devoted labor of the teachers, officers and employees of all the departments under the school. This conference provided a platform for exchanging ideas, knowledge, experiences and research works in various areas of engineering and technology among academicians, scientists, technologists and engineers. Around 200 research papers were presented in different sessions. The subject-matter of the papers cover vast area of engineering research and education including computer science and engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, telecommunications, industrial management, architecture, different branches of civil, environmental and chemical engineering. Besides delegates from different institutions

in the country, representatives from different education and research institutions from Australia, Japan, Korea and UAE participated in the conference with technical papers. Within the program-schedule of the conference, two round table discussions were arranged. The discussion brought forth fruitful suggestions for improving engineering education and research in the country.

The conference closed on January 13, 2011 successfully with high ambition and determination for organizing it after every two years with massive participation from home and abroad. With the publication of the papers presented in the proceedings, the organizing committee is finally reaching the ‘Finish’. We strongly believe that through the proceedings, the readers will have access to recent development in engineering research and education. We would like to thank for their spirit, enthusiasm and efforts, with which they brought the publication of the proceedings to a successful end. We are also indebted to sponsors for their help in the conference. CERIE will be held every year regularly and proceedings will appear with updated information in various fields of engineering.
