Engineering Building and Communication Techniques. As you can see, we had many lectures which can made us feel tired, and we needed to wake up. That is why it was “Time to go to Hamam, now”! After we were the incredible relief, we were on our way for a trip to MAN which is one of the biggest factories on Automotive Research and Development. In MAN, we had a chance to discover and see the steps of manufacturing with our bare eyes. They explained us their strategy to stay strong in that market and what their purposes are. Also, they gave information on how many trucks and buses are produced in a year and how many species they have. Following that, unfortunately we were in the last day. METU Metallurgy and Materials Society also gave a presentation about their hydrogen cars, their principles of working, which material can be useful for producing such vehicles. Furthermore, Ali Turan, Administrator of Implementations of Industrial Accumulator, from İNCİ AKÜ gave a really informative presentation. It was about electric and hybrid vehicles, what the advantages and disadvantages are for using these vehicles, why area of usage of these vehicles cannot get larger now, startstop technology, why we should use gel accumulators, and more. This was the most interesting presentation which also taught us the most. After Ali Turan was finished with his presentation, our participants from LC Budapest gave information about Bio Fuel Cells. Sadly, this is the end of the story. This was an amazing week for all of us with the greatest participants! We hope we will have a chance to see each other again soon and they are always welcome to Ankara. Thank you for coming here, thank you for being such nice participants and thank you for everything. See you soon! 37
