Innovation and Application of Engineering Technology contains the proceeding of International Symposium of Engineering Technology and Application Convocation (ISETA 2017, 25-28 May 2017, Montreal, Canada). The Symposium provided an international forum for discussion and communication of engineering technology and application of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Mining Engineering, Risk and Occupational Engineering and other fields related to engineering. Sponsored by Concordia University, International Joint Research Laboratory of Henan Province for Underground Space Development, Henan Polytechnic University and IJSS, Innovation and Application of Engineering Technology will be useful for researchers, engineers and graduate and Ph.D. students in related Engineering fields.

As societies continue to grow and develop, the demand for energy has increased worldwide. In China, coal is still one of the principal energy resources and it is expected that more coal mining projects are needed in the future. As mining operations continue to increase their production rates and discover more ore reserves, mine safety issues have become more urgent. Even more than in the past there is a greater need to understand these issues better. Progress in Mine Safety Science and Engineering II discusses mine safety techniques and technologies, methods and approaches, as well as problems and issues. The contributions cover a wide range of topics: * Coal mine safety * Metal and non-metal mine safety * Mine product testing technology and safety symbol management * Mine rescue tools and techniques * Mine safety management and standardization * Mine safety science and theory * Occupational health and safety in mines * Petroleum and natural gas exploitation Progress in Mine Safety Science and Engineering II will be invaluable to academics and engineers interested or involved in mine safety issues.
