About

Join us at the Engineering Mechanics Institute Conference 2023 (EMI 2023)—the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) premiere annual mechanics conference. This conference will be hosted at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, Georgia, with organization led by Professors Chloé Arson and Yang Wang.

The conference will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners, where the fundamental and applied advances in engineering mechanics will be on display.  At the conference, learn about the latest discoveries in the field of engineering mechanics, disseminate your own contributions at topical sessions, support our students engaged in various EMI activities, listen to distinguished plenary lecturers and participate in discussions, panels and networking events to advance engineering mechanics education, research and practice.

About the Engineering Mechanics Institute

The Engineering Mechanics Institute (EMI) was created on October 1, 2007 to serve the engineering community through the development and application of engineering mechanics by anticipating and adapting to new challenges that will face tomorrow's engineers, and to provide a home not only for those involved in the traditional disciplines but also for those involved with emerging areas of mechanics.
