Re-Thinking Engineering and Technology for Environmental Sustainability in the Face of Global Pandemic: Proceedings of the 2ND International Conference on Engineering and Environmental Scienc

PREFACE 

The second edition of the International Conference on Engineering and Environmental Sciences (ICEES 2021) was co-hosted by the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Environmental Sciences of Osun State University, Osogbo from 23rd-25th November, 2021. The Conference with the theme, “ReThinking Engineering and Technology for Environmental Sustainability in the Face of Global Pandemic” took place at a time the world is still re-adjusting to life in the COVID/post-COVID-19 era. The conference which had both on-site and online participants from within and outside Nigeria provided opportunities to foster interactions and collaborations among members of academia, industries and stakeholders across the globe, with a view to proffering informed solutions to various technological and environmental challenges confronting Nigeria and the world at large. ICEES 2021 brought to the fore, the need for a re-think on how to build our cities, especially as world is working towards exiting the COVID-19 pandemic era. Efficient technologies that make social distancing, regular hand-washing and vaccination possible with little or no stress were highlighted. The need for wider deployment of frontier technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Internet-ofThings, Drones and Unmanned Vehicles, Virtual Reality, Quantum Computing, Renewable Energy, Big Data Analytics, Nanotechnology and TechnologyEnhanced Learning in a bid to achieve quick economic recovery, growth and adaptation; combat COVID-19 and improve public health; provide high quality education as well as reduce the global digital divide was emphasized. During the conference, local, national and international participants demonstrated various approaches to the solutions theoretically, empirically and numerically. Having evaluated, revised and edited the various submissions by the participants to produce this publication, readers of this Conference Proceedings will find in it intellectual treasures. It is our hope that they will also derive from it, inspiration for areas of further research to expand the frontiers of knowledge and produce qualitative works to qualify for the next edition of the ICEES conference. Finally, our immense appreciations go to the members of the local organizing committee as well as the local, national and international participants for using their time, energy and material resources to make the event worthwhile
