LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BRAZILIAN SOCIETY OF ENGINEERING AND MECHANICAL SCIENCES (ABCM)


The Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering - ABCM is making a great effort to increase the participation of its members in the activities it promotes. When you think about how participation takes place you observe that members participate both as recipients of other members' efforts or by directly making things happen. Members make things happen when they organize congresses, edit journals, review papers, teach courses…, and in this way attend other members' needs of having congresses to attend, proceedings to consult, journals to which submit papers, courses to refresh or expand knowledge…

Accordingly, the 17th edition of COBEM - International Congress of Mechanical Engineering, the major scientific congress in the area, held in Latin America, is brought to you through the collective effort and participation of many people led by the Polytechnic School of University of São Paulo and the Research Technological Institute of the State of São Paulo, IPT.

In our turn, let's participate of COBEM by taking the utmost advantage of the many opportunities this unique event offers! And make a point to accompany the activities connected to the thematic motivation of this congress - Engineering and Society, which will explore the many aspects involving the relevance of Engineering in our Society.

It is this participation in several fronts and levels that allows ABCM to fulfill its commitment to the development of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering. For the member who participates, in a way or another, the participation makes up an effective opportunity for technical development and personal growth.

We welcome you all!

Leonardo Goldstein Jr.
ABCM, President
