Aim and Scope

The Zede Journal of Ethiopian Engineers and Architects bridges the gap between science and engineering. It aims to provide a high-level platform to report progress in engineering science, discuss hot topics, areas of interest, challenges, and prospects in engineering development.

The journal provides a broad scope covering, but not limited to civil engineering, architectural and urban issues, material and mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, geotechnical and mining engineering.

We are interested in: engineering news from a global perspective; comments on some comprehensive engineering issues; and research results in forms of research articles, reviews, perspectives, and short communications regarding critical engineering issues, and so on. Our journal is considering for publication related to the a vast array of engineering disciplines and divisions.
