Objectives
This  International Conference  on  Applications  and Design in Mechanical Engineering (ICADME 2012) aims to provide a platform for participants from diverse field of Mechanical Engineering backgrounds to exchange ideas and findings to promote cooperation, networking as well as knowledge sharing in both engineering practice and research in higher education. The theme “Innovation and Evolution in Mechanical Engineering” hopes to explore new ideas in Mechanical Engineering in the 21st Century. 
In the face of challenges in the next generation, there are currently unified global efforts to transform engineering knowledge to produce engineers of the future. As part of this effort, ICADME 2012 aims to gather engineering practices, educators and stakeholders, to disseminate knowledge and discuss innovative solutions to enhance the quality and efficiency of engineering applications.

Furthermore research in mechanical engineering has played a vital role in providing a platform for young researchers for mutual exchange of knowledge towards improving the academic, scientific and research programs. ICADME 2012 aims to bring academics together to share and exchange perspectives and ideas on matters related to research in higher education. Manuscripts having focus on theory, applications, design and/or experimental studies relevant to the conference theme are invited. Other related themes include, but not limited to:

Applied Mechanics and Design
Solid and Fracture Mechanics, Machinery Dynamics, Condition monitoring, Machine Design, Concurrent Engineering, Finite element analysis, Noise and Vibration analysis, Computer aided engineering design, Manufacturing, Rapid Prototyping, Tribology and Reverse Engineering.

Energy and Thermofluids
Energy conversion system, Renewable energy, Fluid Dynamics, Heat Transfer, Heat exchangers, Refrigeration and air conditioning, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Alternative energy, Internal combustion engines.
