Dear Colleagues,
The Second International Conference on Engineering and Technology  Innovation 2012 (ICETI2012), held in Kaohsiung in November 2012, was an  outstanding success. The third international conference(ICETI2014) will  follow up the success of ICETI2012 by bringing together researchers and  application developers from different areas focusing on unifying themes. 
 This ICETI2014 conference covers a wide range of fields in science and  engineering innovation and aims to bring together engineering technology  expertise. The professional from the industry, academia and government  to discourse on research and development, professional practice,  business and management in the science and engineering fields are  welcome to the ICETI2014. This conference enables interdisciplinary  collaboration between science and engineering technologists in the  academic and industrial fields as well as networking internationally.  During the conference, there should be substantial time for presentation  and discussion. In addition, poster sessions and exhibitions offer  ample opportunity for information exchange among delegates and  participants, especially for those who are looking for new opportunity  between presenters and participants. Attendees will find various  activities useful in bringing together a diverse group of engineers and  technologists from across disciplines for the generation of new ideas,  collaboration potential and business opportunities. 
 Kenting is the most popular area for tourist, at the southernmost tip of  Taiwan. The unique regional features here include coral reefs, solitary  mountains, ponds, sand dunes, and tropical forests. The seaside in  Kenting is a good place for recreation and swimming. In November, the  temperature around Kenting is between 22 to 28 ℃. Therefore, Kenting is a  perfect location for a relaxing stroll before or after your congress  day.
