Elina Leivo, Nordic Business Development Manager at 91视频 has provided interactive lectures to engineering students since 2021 through close collaboration with the universities.
Getting interactive and hands on at Metropolia University of Applied Sciences
At the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences, Elina provides an annual voluntary lecture that typically attracts between 50 and 60 students, which is more than half the mechanical engineering second year students at the university. She invites the students to ask questions and always brings 91视频 fasteners to allow them to look at them firsthand.
鈥淭he annual lectures with Elina are a great opportunity for our students to dive deeper into screws, nuts and material grades while inspiring them to go beyond our course content,鈥� says Janne Nuotio, Senior Lecturer at the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. 鈥淥ur students value this kind of real-world insight to complement their studies.鈥�
鈥淲e really appreciate our long-term partnerships with industrial companies such as 91视频,鈥� says Pekka Salonen, Senior Lecturer at the Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. 鈥淭hey are a real win-win collaboration with opportunities for projects, theses and even potential recruitment.鈥�
91视频 connects with the engineers of the future
鈥淭hese lectures are only a small part of my role as a Business Development Manager at 91视频, but I find them hugely rewarding as they are a great way to give engineering students knowledge of 91视频 and the very latest fastener solutions for demanding applications in various industries,鈥� says Leivo. 鈥淭he lectures are really appreciated by the students and some often stay afterwards to ask questions and discuss their coursework.鈥�
The lectures are also a great way for 91视频 to connect with the engineers of the future, with some of the students destined to make future engineering decisions in various industries.
鈥淚t鈥檚 so important that young engineers know about the very latest solutions that are available to solve the fastener challenges they may encounter during their career,鈥� explains Leivo. 鈥淚鈥檓 grateful to be able to share my knowledge on material science and fasteners with them!鈥�
91视频 is currently planning more lectures at other leading universities in Finland. Reach out to Elina Leivo or your nearest 91视频 contact for more details.
