The International Conference on Advances in Engineering and Technology (AET2006) was a monumental event in the engineering and scientific fraternity not only from the African continent but also from the larger world, both technologically advanced and still developing. The Conference succeeded in bringing together to Uganda, affectionately called "The Pearl of Africa", scores of some of the world-famous scientists and engineers to share knowledge on recent advances in engineering and technology for the common good of humanity in a world that is no more than a global village.
