IMEC 2012 - 2012 International Manufacturing Engineering Conference (IMEC)

The Manufacturing Engineering Division of AIESD is pleased to announce its 2012 International Manufacturing Engineering Conference (IMEC). The IMEC this year will be jointly sponsored and collocated with the 2nd International Symposium on Sustainable Manufacturing (ISSM). The joint meetings will be hosted in International Convention Center from April 11-13, 2012, in Shanghai, China.

The 2012 IMEC focuses on current emerging trends, problems, issues and solutions in the manufacturing engineering. Attendees will have a unique chance to new and relevant manufacturing engineering topics that will help them advance their careers, their respective organizations and the overall state of the manufacturing engineering community.
