Proceeding of 6th SONEUK Conference

Theme- "Engineering Challenges and Opportunities: Post COVID-19" The **6th SONEUK Conference Proceedings (2021)** present a collection of peer-reviewed papers from the annual conference organised by the Society of Nepalese Engineers in the UK. The theme, *“Engineering Challenges and Opportunities: Post COVID-19,”* reflects a strong focus on how engineering disciplines can respond to the disruptions and long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The proceedings bring together contributions from academics, researchers, and professionals across multiple engineering fields, with an emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and resilience in a post-pandemic context. Topics span areas such as civil and structural engineering, materials science, energy systems, and emerging technologies, highlighting both theoretical developments and practical applications relevant to global and South Asian engineering challenges. A key feature of the conference is its interdisciplinary approach, encouraging collaboration between engineers working in different subfields and geographic regions. Many papers explore sustainable solutions, including environmentally friendly materials, infrastructure resilience, and the integration of new technologies into traditional engineering systems. The proceedings also reflect a broader concern with societal impact, particularly how engineering solutions can support recovery, improve infrastructure, and promote sustainable development after COVID-19. Overall, the volume serves as both a snapshot of current research priorities within the SONEUK community and a platform for sharing applied research aimed at addressing real-world engineering problems in a rapidly changing global environment.
