Editorial

In  the interest  of ensuring highest  standards of work accepted for publication, we follow stringent review procedures, which have been fully supported by our team of  distinguished international editorial  advisors.

The  Publication Board  of  the  Faculty of Engineering at The University of the West Indies takes  this opportunity to express deep  gratitude for  their  continued support. At  times,  there  are inadvertent delays in completing the reviews hence delays in the publication of the Journal.

Despite our best efforts, both the readership of  the Journal  and  the involvement of our  local practicing professional engineers, in its growth and development, continue to be limited. In an effort to expand  e Journal's readership and  provide Caribbean professional with greater  involvement in its development, we invite  you once again,  to join  us  by  way  of  writing articles/papers for possible  publications, and also by advising your colleagues in the profession to subscribe to the Journal.

The new  millennium has  posed several challenges to  us. In this period, the technology is advancing so rapidly that unless we (all) join hands and strive for closer relationships, sharing relevant information and  experiences, we cannot be efficient and competitive.It is our hope that the Journal  will foster the desired  relationships between  our  colleagues in the profession.

Finally, we wish to reiterate that the success of any Journal  such as the West Indian Journal of Engineering depends  on its readership, hence we  seek your critical appraisal as  well as constructive suggestions for its improvement.
