Event: 3rd International Conference of the
Institution of Engineering and Technology
Brunei Darussalam (IETBIC 2012)
Date: 17-18 September 2012
Place: The Rizqun International Hotel,
The Mall Gadong, Brunei Darussalam
Theme: “Smart Technology and Beyond”


INTRODUCTION:

Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) has deep impact on our
everyday life. SET has changed and evolved the way we work, play
and live. From Stone Age, through the Steam Age to current Digital
Age, the discovery of science and invention of new technology have
significantly improved the living standards and conditions for mankind.
However, such improvements often come at the expense of exhausting
natural resources and generate by-products that depreciate habitability
of our mother earth. Recent nuclear incident has again reminded us the
potential risk of modern technologies.

We have long realized that technological advancement has brought along
depreciation of natural resources at an alarming rate and threatened
the habitability of the earth. However, it will be imprudent to cease
technology development and disregard the benefits of technology.
Development of technologies for energy resources, healthcare,
transportation and communication does not improve merely our
lifestyle but also our livelihood. Technological advancement shall
continue however with consideration and awareness to ensure
sustainability into future. Apart from the environmental issues,
future technology shall enhance human’s ability instead of merely
assisting and replacing human’s ability. Future technologies will
be smart in that they will safeguard the living condition of future
generations while improving our quality of life.
