II International Congress of Mechanical Engineering and Agricultural Science (CIIMCA 2015)

Abstract

The 2nd International congress of Mechanical Engineering and Agricultural Science (CIIMCA 2015) looked to exchange new scientific knowledge on mechanical engineering, agricultural science, materials science and related topics. The CIIMCA 2015 was organized by the Mechanical Engineering Faculty of the 'Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana' of Bucaramanga. It was held from 7th to 9th October 2015 at 'Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana' of Bucaramanga, Colombia. The meeting aimed to provide a high level international conference for researchers in mechanical engineering and related themes.The CIIMCA brought together the latest results and discussed new advances over a broad range of topics dealing with vibration modeling & testing, renewable energy and thermofluids analytical, science and drying technology, materials science, automation and agricultural science and engineering education as well as case studies. We did our best to provide the delegates with an environment conducive to the exchange of knowledge, networking and making new friends.We want to thank our colleagues who contributed considerably to the event by organizing topical symposia and by helping us to launch this important meeting. We are truly grateful for their efforts.PhD. Aduljay Remolina-Millan.Chairman, International Congress of Mechanical Engineering and Agricultural Science Congress -CIIMCA 2015.PhD.
