Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to highlight the value of educational activities in the mechanism and machine science (MMS) in engineering education. It includes a description of the general contents of MMS that every engineer should take in order to have a broad knowledge of this discipline. It also highlights the work of the teacher in the learning process inspired by the tasks carried out by Professor Lopez-Cajun, a teacher very close to his students who knew how to transmit the passion for this science. Finally, the activities to be carried out to attract the talent of young people to engineering careers are highlighted, as this is a great demand of society. In the chapter we also highlight the experiences of the Student International Olympiads in MMS, one of the activities promoted by the IFToMM.
