1. Introduction

The 3rd International Conference on Modern Technologies in Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MTME-2025) was held on 16–17 April 2025, at the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, Topi, Pakistan. MTME-2025 focused on four core thematic areas: thermo-fluids, design and manufacturing, drives and control, and materials science and engineering. The conference brought together participants from diverse academic and professional backgrounds—including mechanical, materials, and chemical sciences—to exchange cutting-edge ideas and research developments.
The primary objective of MTME-2025 was to provide a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration, nurturing innovation and critical thinking, especially among young researchers and students. The conference received an encouraging response, with presenters from across the globe attending in person in Pakistan, fostering the exchange of technological insights, cultural perspectives, and collaborative problem-solving approaches.
This year, we received 66 submissions, of which 27 papers were selected through a rigorous peer-review process for inclusion in this issue. The topics span a wide range of emerging areas, including advanced materials, nanotechnology, thermal and fluid systems, structural analysis, digital twin technologies, robotics, sustainable engineering, and energy and environmental materials.
A highlight of MTME-2025 was the industry-academia panel discussion held on April 17, focusing on the theme: “Academia-Industry Preparedness in the Era of AI.” Key representatives from leading organizations such as Fauji Fertilizer Company, Fatima Group, KSB Pumps, OGDCL, Dawlance, and Fauji Cement Company, joined academic leaders from notable institutions including IIUI, UET Taxila, COMSATS, PAFIAST, and GIK Institute. The panel addressed critical themes such as future skill requirements, institutional roles in shaping the AI transition, the impact of digital transformation, and strategies for lifelong learning.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all contributors, reviewers, panelists, participants, and organizers for making MTME-2025 a successful and intellectually stimulating event.
