Aachen University and End of the K-Show

Our K-Show experience is now over, but as a result of the two days spent there we were able to take with us exposure to several new advances in energy savings in the plastics industry, the growth in silicones, expansion of the medical plastics industry, and amazing automation. All of these relate to many of our senior projects.

Today was a very nice day in Germany. We woke up and packed our bags at our hostel in Aachen, and then proceeded to get on the bus to Aachen University. We spent a couple hours at the university as we toured their plastics engineering department and facilities. The fun fact of the day was that tuition there is only 700 euros per semester. We all decided that we just might move to Germany and finish our studies over here! After leaving the university we boarded a train to Munich where we will see classic Germany settled down near the Bavarian Alps.
