Trends in Educational Activity in the Field of Mechanism and Machine Theory (2018–2022)

This book presents content from the Third International Symposium on the Education in Mechanism and Machine Science (ISEMMS 2022). Among others, the chapters report on mechanical engineering education, mechanism and machine science in the mechanical engineer curricula, methodology, virtual laboratories and new laws. Special attention is given to MMS experiences in Pandemic times. The chapters discuss the current problems in MMS education with the aim of providing solutions and identifying appropriate trends for a modern world common vision in the Engineering education field.
