In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful It is with great pleasure that I welcome the participants of the International Conference of Mechanical Engineering Research 2013. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said acquire knowledge and impart it to the people (Al Tirmidhi). The quest for knowledge has been from the beginning of time but knowledge only becomes valuable when it is disseminated and applied to benefit humankind. It is hoped that ICMER 2013 will be a platform to gather and disseminate the latest knowledge in mechanical engineering. Academicians, Scientist, Researchers and practitioners of mechanical engineering will be able to share and discuss new findings and applications of mechanical engineering. It is envisaged that the intellectual discourse will result in future collaborations between universities, research institutions and industry both locally and internationally. In particular, it is expected that focus will be given to issues on environmental energy sustainability. Researchers in the mechanical engineering faculty at UMP have a keen interest in technology to harness energy from the ocean. Lowering vehicle emission has been a primary goal of researchers in the mechanical engineering faculty, and the automotive engineering centre, including developing vehicles using alternatives fuels such as biodiesel and renewable sources (such as solar). Finally I would like to congratulate the organising committee for their tremendous efforts in organizing the conference. I pray to Allah S.W.T that the conference will be a successful event. PROF.
