The “Meeting of the Business and New Engineer” program is held twice a year, at the time when the final year students have just finished the final thesis, completing their academic assignments to officially become a new engineer. Held for the twelfth time, this program is an effective bridge to help employers find the best candidates and suit the human resource requirements of the business, as well as create real opportunities for students to learn and explore the working environment.
