Mekaunikum is the student association for mechatronic students at the University of Agder. We are a volunteer organization that made its establishment in 2009. Our goal is to create a social and professional arena for all mechatronic students, by promoting academic interest and creating a social community. Moreover, we are working to optimize the student life by offering social events throughout the year. In addition, we want to be the link between students and companies. Mekaunikum want students to gain an insight into what their future employment opportunities have to offer, and is therefore working to arrange presentations and company visits in order to improve the network of the students.
