Since 1987, the Thai Society of Mechanical Engineers (TSME) has been holding national conferences in Mechanical Engineering yearly. These conferences are called Mechanical Engineering Network of Thailand (ME-NETT). The objectives of the conferences are to encourage students, researchers, and interested persons to present their works, to create researching networks, to publish the research works for industry sectors, to find the needs of public and private organizations, to fulfill these demands to enhance the growth of country, and to be a hub in the field of Mechanical Engineering for anyone with an interest.
In 2010, with collaboration from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME), and the United Kingdom's Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), TSME started to hold yearly international conferences under the name of the International Conference on Mechanical Engineering (ICoME).
In 2018, the 9th TSME-ICoME will be hosted by Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME), Faculty of Engineering, Thammasat University (TU).
