Student Symposium
Mechman

The Mechanics and Manufacturing Engineering Student Symposium (Mechman) aims at providing a new platform for the dissimation of results obtained on the second semester of the Master of Science Mechanical Engineering with the three specializations Manufacturing Technology (VT), Design of Mechanical Systems (DMS) and Electro Mechanical System Design (EMSD). Furthermore the students on the second semester of the Master of Science in Materials and Nanotechnology with the specializations in Materials Technology (MTEK) and Nanomaterials and Nanophysics (NNF) participate.
The symposium is organized as a scientific venue, where the results are presented in the form of papers, posters, and oral presentations. By applying the scientific method of presentation, it is the intention, that the students get familiar with this form of dissimation of results, thus making them able to present results in that format, and perhaps more importantly be able to use the vast amount of knowledge available in that form.
The organising committee gratefully acknowledge Grundfos for sponsoring the 11th MechMan symposium.
General information
MechMan is organized by Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Aalborg University, Denmark.
