10 Industrial Excursions Once per semester the programme will arrange excursions to visit leading Finnish mechanical engineering industries. These are optional but they will give students the opportunity to become aquainted with international leading companies. For example: STX Europe (design and build passenger ferries) Konecranes (industrial cranes) Ruukki (SSAB) (steel and engineering products Kone (lifts) Wärtsilä (large diesel motors) ABB (motors, generators, propulsion systems) Valmet (paper machinery) Metso (automation equipment)
