Mechanical Engineering students in Leuven Visit

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) recently welcomed back a group of final year students from the B.Eng. (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering course. This group of students got a fantastic opportunity to further develop their innovation and employability skills with this three-day visit to Belgium.

The student’s trip was based out of the Irish College in Leuven, the trip incorporated sessions in a variety of high-tech design companies, a visit to KU Leuven (currently ranked number 42 university in the world and Reuters most innovative university in Europe) and a visit to the European Commission. Students had the opportunity to meet and share ideas with experts in robotics and vision systems, drone development, machine design and renewable energy.
