ICEC
The 16th International Civil Engineering Conference (ICEC-2026), jointly organized by the NED University of Engineering & Technology and The Institution of Engineers Pakistan, will be held on 6th and 7th November, 2026, in Karachi, Pakistan. The theme for this year's conference, "AI-Driven Transformation of Civil Engineering: From Design to Digital Infrastructure," reflects the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in reshaping the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of civil infrastructure.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology that is revolutionizing every aspect of civil engineering. From AI-assisted structural analysis and generative design to digital twins, Building Information Modeling (BIM), computer vision, robotics, structural health monitoring, and predictive maintenance, intelligent technologies are enabling engineers to develop infrastructure that is safer, more resilient, sustainable, and efficient.
ICEC-2026 aims to provide an international platform for researchers, academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and technology innovators to present cutting-edge research, exchange ideas, and discuss emerging challenges and opportunities in AI-enabled civil engineering. The conference welcomes contributions spanning structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources, environmental, construction, and materials engineering, with a particular emphasis on integrating artificial intelligence and data-driven technologies into engineering practice.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between academia, industry, and government, ICEC-2026 seeks to accelerate the digital transformation of civil engineering and contribute to the development of intelligent infrastructure capable of addressing the demands of rapidly urbanizing, climate-resilient, and sustainable societies.
