TIME 24.5.2023 at 09.00-14.30
PLACE Presidentti auditorium, BioCity,
Tykistökatu 6, 20520 Turku
This IAP event introduces Mechanical Engineering at the University of Turku and invites collaborators to learn about our degree programmes, the research we do, and our vision for the research infrastructure and how it could serve the local industry. This event is an opportunity to influence the direction of the department — join us in a shared mission of strengthening the mechanical engineering community in Turku.
Our mechanical engineering has three focus areas: Smart Systems, Digital Design and Digital Manufacturing; and additionally two new emerging fields: Computational Engineering and Electric Drives. We are seeking a dialog on the industry’s needs and interests as we are building our curricula, infrastructure and research expertise.

Workshop tracks
This workshop looks for best practices and collaboration methods for industrial partners to give feedback and share insights on engineering competencies valued by industry. It will also seek to form an Industrial Advisory Board. We hope the board will begin its work swiftly, so that it can influence the design of the Fall 2023 Mechanical Engineering Bachelor’s curriculum.
We develop our mechanical engineering research infrastructure to support our core research needs but also to be valuable for the local industries. This workshop identifies the demand for services, testing, instrumentation and prototyping requirements in the area.
We want to introduce our mechanical engineering students to our industry partners early on in their studies. The presence of industry is integral throughout the studies in the form of visiting lectures, student projects, excursions and theses done to industry. This workshop identifies the best practices for industry collaboration in teaching and for industrial partners to engage with students.
