CONFERENCE SCOPE
The Advances in Mechanical Engineering are the order of the day with the rapid industrialization and
urbanization seen in developed and developing nations. Rapid population growth and the global pursuit
of sustainability are creating new demands for engineers who can design products, services and
infrastructure to improve the quality of life for the billions. Innovative design and new practices are
challenging tasks to the researchers and working engineers to meet the ever growing demands of
society.
The conference is the premiere forum for the presentation of new advances and research
results in the fields of Mechanical Engineering. The Conference will provide a leading forum for sharing
the original research contributions and practical development experiences among students,
researchers, academicians, industry professionals and application developers in Mechanical
Engineering. This conference will also provide opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and
application through face-to-face discussions, to establish business or research relations and to find
global partners for future collaborations. We hope that the outcome of RAME-2015 will yield significant
contribution to the knowledge in the emerging areas of Mechanical Engineering.
