Bendel Corporation supports the ASME and their wonderful efforts of promoting clean energy as industrial nations look for ways to become more energy efficient, engineers and technology leaders will convene in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to discuss topics related to climate change, sustainable processes, alternative energy and fuel cell technology during proceedings of the 2010 ASME International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition, Nov. 12-18.
Set against the backdrop of one of the world’s greenest and most energy efficient urban centers, the ASME Congress will gather engineers and scientists at the Vancouver Convention and Exposition Centre to assess new advances in energy production and utilization and the role of these technologies in pollution control and environmental sustainability.
Topics will include hydrogen energy, solar and wind power, bio-fuels, energy conversion, and emerging technologies.
In addition, the 2010 Congress will include a tour of the Clean Energy Research Centre (CERC) and National Research Council Institute for Fuel Cell Innovation (NRC-IFCI) at the University of British Columbia. Both organizations lead research in clean energy technology, with NRC-IFCI focused on building collaborations with Canadian universities, companies, and government agencies to promote the growing hydrogen and fuel cell businesses.
In addition to energy, the multidisciplinary technical program of the ASME Congress will address the latest advancements in aerospace technology, manufacturing, dynamic systems, safety engineering, and transportation, among other subjects.
The seven-day conference also will include an exposition and poster session featuring advanced research and applications in micro devices and nanotechnology. A highlight of the Congress will be the ASME Honors Assembly, “A Celebration of Engineering,” a tribute to distinguished service and outstanding achievement in mechanical engineering.
