Brunei International Conference on Engineering and Technology (BICET) is the flagship international conference series organised by the Faculty of Engineering of UTB over the past two decades. The inaugural BICET was held on 9-10 October 2001, and this was followed by the 2nd BICET (15-18 August 2005), the 3rd BICET (3-5 November 2008), the 4th BICET (25-26 January 2012), the 5th BICET (1-3 November 2014), the 6th BICET (14-16 November 2016) and the 7th BICET was held on 12-14 November 2018. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 8th BICET was held online on 8-10 November 2021. The 9th BICET is scheduled to be held on 23-25 October 2023. BICET has been a successful forum for academics, researchers, scientists, technologists, and engineers to interact and present their research findings in an international forum.



Rationale

We are in an era of continuous challenges faced by society due to population growth, the industrial revolution and their linked impacts. This necessitates finding amicable solutions through technologies where the role of academics and industries is immense. Innovation in thinking, developing ideas, research and development, engineering implementation and technological capabilities will yield solutions for most unsolved problems. Continuous developments are ongoing in all engineering and technologies where interdisciplinary collaboration has brought economically impactful processes/products to meet current and future demands. On this, it is essential to share the recent trends and developments in research from different regions/countries as well as diverse experts will assist in knowledge exchange and open many opportunities and collaborations to speed up the overall developmental process.

As a leading technological university, UTB nurtures socially responsible talents committed to building a global and entrepreneurial society in pursuit of innovation, and industry-relevant capabilities, towards the fulfilment of Brunei Vision 2035. In this capacity, UTB is an influential institution of higher learning, especially in Civil, Electrical & Electronics, Mechanical, Mechatronics and Petroleum & Chemical Engineering.

As such, the BICET 2023 will provide an important platform for academics, researchers, engineers, students, and experts to exchange ideas to strengthen innovative and interdisciplinary research on cleaner and greener technologies towards achieving wider social, economic and environmental impacts.
