INTRODUCTION
In 2013, Mapúa University hosted the ICSET 2013 and now Mapúa is organizing the ICSET 2018. This conference originated
from the Asian Pacific Regional Conference (APRC) organized and held first in 2003 at Chia Nan University of Pharmacy
and Science, Taiwan. Delegates from Thailand, Philippines, Japan and Korea participated in this international
conference. Following this kickoff conference, the APRC was continually organized at different locations of
different countries. The organizing of this APRC was passed to the University of the Philippines, Diliman, in 2006.
In 2007, the APRC was rotated to Khon Kaen University, Thailand. Because the University of the Philippines celebrated
its 100 - year foundation in 2008, the 6th APRC became a centennial conference held at the main campus in Diliman,
Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. Afterwards, the APRC was hosted by Hanoi University of Technology, Hanoi,
Vietnam in 2009, and by Ubon Ratchathani University, Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand in 2010. In 2011, APRC became the
International Conference on Sustainable Environmental Technologies (ICSET) and was upgraded into international level.
Seoul National University, Korea hosted the ICSET 2011, and King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi, Thailand
hosted the ICSET 2012.
Papers submitted to ICSET 2018 would be reviewed and accepted papers will be submitted for publication to several
