Abstract

ASME’s International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition (IMECE) is the largest interdisciplinary mechanical engineering meeting in the world. More than 4,000 participants will share their research about current mechanical engineering advancements and future developments from researchers in representing more than 20 mechanical engineering subspecialties. IMECE attracts the most diverse group of mechanical engineers in the world. Among the attendees from 75+ countries are mechanical engineers currently involved in advanced manufacturing, aerospace, advanced energy, fluids engineering, heat transfer, design engineering, materials and energy recovery, applied mechanics, power, rail transportation, nanotechnology, bioengineering, internal combustion engines, environmental engineering, and more. IMECE plays a significant role in stimulating innovation from basic discovery to translational application. It provides ground for new collaborations that engage stakeholders and partners not only from academia, but also from national laboratories, industry, research settings, and funding bodies.
