New Trends in Educational Activity in the Field of Mechanism and Machine Theory [Hardcover]

The First International Symposium on the Education in Mechanism and Machine Science (ISEMMS 2013) aimed to create a stable platform for the interchange of experience among researches of mechanism and machine science.
Topics treated include contributions on subjects such as new trends and experiences in mechanical engineering education; mechanism and machine science in mechanical engineering curricula; MMS in engineering programs, such as, for example, methodology, virtual labs and new laws.
All papers have been rigorously reviewed and represent the state of the art in their field.
