More than 50 Fontys student groups, all up-and-coming technicians in the final year of their college education, present the results of six months of research and development. This will take place during the online symposium 'Engineering & Technology in Practice', on Wednesday afternoon, February 3. The event is organized for the fourth time by Fontys Hogeschool Engineering and Fontys Centre of Expertise High Tech Systems and Materials (HTSM).
Getting to know you
An important goal of the event is to show the business community and organizations in the area what it means when companies and students work together on the (applied) technology of the future. In addition, there is plenty of room to talk to the students, a great opportunity for the market to get acquainted with the new hires of the near future.
