Globalization has created severe competition for the consultants from
developing countries. It is still unknown how WTO opportunities could
be utilized for the benefit of developing countries. Thus the theme of "
Making Globalization Work: Role of Consultants " has been selected
for the conference, which we expect will provide a platform and opportunity
for reviewing and setting pragmatic and effective role and identifing the
future direction for consultants for promoting their business. Following
are the sub-themes of the conference:

   * Capacity Building in WTO Context.
   * Challenges in Engineering Education in 21st Century.
   * Professional and Business Integrity.
   * Harmonizing Development with Environment.
   * International Partnership for Engineering Ventures.
   * Consultants' role in Economic Development.
   * Any other subjects of interest.
