Successful ACCM Presence at the JKU Career Day 2011

[15 Nov. 2011] ACCM made its presence known with animated pictures and vocal eye catchers at their booth at the JKU Career Day, attracting many interested students, graduate students and other visitors, even including the organizers. Questions from many interested people on ACCM’s structure, goals and possibilities at ACCM were answered, bringing the underlying principle of the research center out into the world.

Career Day 2011 at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz took place on 15 November 2011. This year ACCM was once again represented with an information booth consisting of a mechatronic demonstration model and offering career fair visitors (mainly students and graduates of JKU) the opportunity to contact and explore ACCM as a future employer. Especially students and graduates in the mechatronics, mathematics and physics showed considerable interest in ACCM. The range of inquiries included summer internships, bachelor, master or diploma theses as well as dissertations and permanent employment at ACCM as research scientist or project manager.

Animations of simulations that were calculated at ACCM were presented at the booth with a loud installation of a speaker box behind a plexiglas pane that could be piezo-attenuated with the touch of a button. The simulation was the result of a thesis in association with ACCM that resulted in a patent. The exciting exhibits attracted a large crowd of career fair visitors.
