The Faculty of Engineering under the Mechanical Engineering programme area hosted the virtual 3rd International Conference on Materials and Manufacturing Engineering Technology (CoMMET 2021).
The CoMMET 2021 was part of the international conference series of the 7th International Online Conference on Science, Technology, and Interdisciplinary Research (IC-STAR2021), 4th International Materials, Industrial, and Manufacturing Engineering Conference (MIMEC2021), and 1st International Conference of Industrial, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering (ICIMEE2021).
The joint conferences were co-hosted by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Curtin University Malaysia, SEGi University, and Universitas Lampung.
The series was intended to provide a global platform for researchers and engineers from the fields of engineering and applied sciences to share their research results among their peers. The event saw six keynote speeches, parallel sessions, and presentations from 19 countries across three world continents. After editorial and peer review processes, the manuscripts will be submitted and eventually published in partner journals and conference proceedings (indexed in Scopus).
During the opening ceremony, a welcoming remark was delivered by Professor Ir. Dr. Ramesh Singh, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering (FEng) as the Advisor for the joint committees of the conference series. He expressed his gratitude to the sponsors of the conference series: Materials (an open-access journal published by MDPI Publisher) and Sarawak Convention Bureau (Malaysia), who supported the conference series as part of promotional activity towards the upcoming 16th Global Congress on Manufacturing and Management which will be held in Sarawak, Malaysia in 2023.
The event then concluded with a remark by Pg Dr. Seri Rahayu binti Pg Yaakub, Deputy Dean (Academic) of FEng as the Co-Chair of CoMMET 2021.
