WVII covers Northeast Agricultural and Biological Engineering Conference
WVII (Channel 7) reported on the Northeast Agricultural and Biological Engineering Conference (NABEC) hosted by the University of Maine. The multiday conference aims to promote engineering as it relates to agriculture, biology and related applications. This year’s conference theme is sustainable agriculture and renewable energy. About 75 participants from UMaine along with researchers from other universities, as well as engineers and science professionals from the private sector and government agencies, were invited to share research, watch technical demonstrations and listen to guest speakers. “It’s a chance for them to exchange ideas and see what everyone else is doing,” said conference organizer Dan Baumert. “It will help them in their work to get new ideas and help them in what they’re trying to do.”
