3RD INTERNATIONAL ENGINEERING CONFERENCE (IEC 2019)

Abstract

The School of Engineering and Engineering Technology, Federal University of Technology, Minna, organized the 1st and 2nd International Engineering Conference in 2015 and 2017 respectively. With the emergence of the new School of Electrical Engineering and Technology and the School of Infrastructure, Process Engineering and Technology, the two schools came together to organize this 3rd International Engineering Conference (IEC 2019) with the theme: “The Role of Engineering and Technology in Sustainable Development” considering the remarkable attendance and successes recorded at the previous conferences. The conference is aimed at offering opportunities for researchers, engineers, captains of industries, scientists, academics, security personnel and others who are interested in sustainable solutions to socio-economic challenges in developing countries; to participate and brainstorm on ideas and come out with a communiqué, that will give the way forward. In this regard, the following sub-themes were carefully selected to guide the authors’ submissions to come up with this communiqué. 1. Engineering Entrepreneurship for Rapid Economic Growth. 2. Regulation, Standardization and Quality Assurance in Engineering Education and Practice for Sustainable Development. 3. Solutions to the Challenges in Emerging Renewable Energy Technologies for Sustainable Development. 4. Electrical Power System and Electronic as a Panacea for Rapid Sustainable Development 5. Promoting Green Engineering in Information and Communication Technology 6. Reducing Carbon Emission with Green and Sustainable Built Environment 7. Artificial Intelligence and Robotics as a Panacea for Rapid Sustainable Development in Biomedical Engineering 8. Petrochemicals, Petroleum Refining and Biochemical Technology for Sustainable Economic Development. 9. Advances and Emerging Applications in Embedded Computing. 10. Traditional and Additive Manufacturing for Sustainable Industrial Development. 11. Emerging and Smart Materials for Sustainable Development. 12. Big Data Analytics and Opportunity for Development. 13. Building Information Modeling (BIM) for Sustainable Development in Engineering Infrastructure and Highway Engineering. 14. Autonomous Systems for Agricultural and Bioresources Technology. The conference editorial and Technical Board have members from the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Malaysia, Australia and Nigeria. The conference received submissions from 4 countries namely: Malaysia, South Africa, the Gambia and Nigeria. It is with great joy to mention that 123 papers were received in total, with 0.9 acceptable rate as a result of the high quality of articles received. Each of the paper was reviewed by two personalities who have in-depth knowledge of the subject discussed on the paper. At the end of the review process, the accepted papers were recommended for presentation and publication in the conference proceedings. The conference proceedings will be indexed in Scopus. On behalf of the conference organizing committee, we would like to seize this opportunity to thank you all for participating in the conference. To our dedicated reviewers, we sincerely appreciate you for finding time to do a thorough review. Thank you all and we hope to see you in the 4th International Engineering Conference (IEC 2021).
