The American Association of Bangladeshi Engineers and Architects (AABEA) Biennial Convention - 2016 organising committee invites papers from the graduate or undergraduate students studying engineering/ architecture/ computer science in public or private engineering schools in Bangladesh.
The organising committee is particularly interested in papers that are of value to the practicing professionals, with an emphasis to solutions to practical problems pertaining to Bangladesh. Papers are solicited on any subject pertaining to the scope of the convention that includes, but is not limited to, the major topics listed below.
