The Ethiopian Society of Mechanical Engineers (ESME) has recently held its 15th Annual Conference on 31
October 2010.
Both the Business and the Technical Session have served as a forum to evaluate the performance of the
society and to use the panel discussion as an opportunity to get insight on the theme of the Conference
which is “Mechanical Engineering Design and Manufacturing in Ethiopia.”
The journal published by ESME is of paramount importance in promoting the theme of the Conference.
The assessment of the journal writers which addressed different topics could be a valuable input for
professionals who have joined the field recently and also a way to find a solution in alleviating the
problems encountered.
In general the Conference has proven to be very educative and informative and ESME can use this
opportunity as a springboard to accomplish its next task.
