The 2018 International Conference on Engineering, Technologies, and Applied Sciences (ICETsAS 2018) was held in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, October 18-10, 2018. ICETsAS 2018 was organized by Faculty of Engineering, University of Lampung, Indonesia in the supports from Cooperation Agency–Public Universities in Indonesia (BKS PTN) in West Region of Indonesia for Engineering Section (BKS PTN in West Region of Indonesia for Engineering Section). This conference was also held in conjunction with Annual Meeting of BKS PTN in West Region of Indonesia for Engineering Section and a global smart city workshop which was a part of BLESS U project, a joint newton fund project between University of Lampung–Indonesia and University of Bradford–United Kingdom. This conference aims to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners and decision makers from academia, industries, and government to share their excellent works in wide range of engineering and applied sciences.
