It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 7th KKU International Engineering Conference 2021 (KKU-IENC 2021) with the theme of  “The 21st Century Technology and Innovation for Socio-Economic Changes”.

Faculty of Engineering of Khon Kaen University organize this conference in order to provide a platform for active and dynamic researchers and engineers in multidisciplinary engineering fields to exchange and disseminate new knowledge as well as create mutual linkages among the participants.

The Faculty of Engineering, Khon Kaen University has been hosting the International Engineering Conference since 2006. The 7th KKU International Engineering Conference 2021 (KKU-IENC 2021) is the seventh in the series of conference previously known as Technology and Innovation for Sustainable Development (TISD), which was held every other year. The Conference was renamed to indicate affiliation with and to honor Khon Kaen University.

Approaching the 21st century, there are several changes in many aspects such as physical, biological, sociological and environmental. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare ourselves to encounter these challenges. As one of the country’s best Engineering schools in the country, the Faculty of Engineering, KKU, realizes that the knowledge in engineering plays an essential role in the ongoing changes. Thus, we have created this conference as a platform for academics, researchers, and the public to exchange ideas and update knowledge which will be a guideline for developing crucial skills in the 21st century.  

KKU-IENC will provide opportunities to enrich their professional knowledge and benefit their society for all participants.  We hope that the participants will find the conference both enjoyable in the architectural, cultural and natural beauty of Khon Kaen and its neighbors and also valuable in academic perspectives.   

Thank you and looking forward to welcoming you in person at KKU-IENC 2021.
