Mechanical Engineering Guild Alumni Association
In December 2020, a group of former actives signed the charter and in January 2021 an association called Koneenrakennuskillan alumnit ry was found in the register of associations.
During the first few years, the association's activities have been consolidated around two major alumni meetings, an excursion in the spring and a general meeting in the autumn. In addition to these, there are occasional afterwork meetings and webinars, for example.
The ultimate aim of the association is to keep alumni activities alumni-oriented by creating a framework and network for all kinds of alumni activities. Thus, we invite all enthusiasts to get in touch if ideas arise. For example, we could help organise and publicise class reunions for individual year groups. We are open to all kinds of ideas.
In addition to alumni events, we work a lot with LUT's Mechanical Engineering Department and the Mechanical Engineering Guild, giving alumni lectures to students and helping to develop the teaching of mechanical engineering.
Below you will find more information and dates of upcoming events.
Welcome to join us to reminisce about the good old days and make the world a better place!
Greetings,
Väinö Friman
Chairman of the board
Joining the association
If you have graduated from the Mechanical Engineering programme at LUT, please follow the Mechanical Engineering Guild Alumni Association on LinkedIn and become a member of the association. Membership is also open to alumni and anyone who feels that membership of the association would benefit them, we don't look at degree certificates!
You can join the association from this link.
Joining and the first year's membership fee now at a very cost-effective price of €0! The membership fee for future years will be decided by the annual meeting of the association each year. The annual membership fee monitors the number of active members, but the membership fee is based only on the costs of compulsory activities.

Alumni lectures
We hold several alumni lectures for students every year on various topics. Some of the topics are requested directly from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and students, but we can also suggest topics for them. If you are interested in giving lectures, you can volunteer using this form. You will receive a lecturer's fee and travel expenses for the lecture will be reimbursed. If you are interested in giving a webinar presentation, you can also sign up using the same form.
