Recently, a team of eight mechanical engineering students won the Grand Prize of the Seventh “Mitsubishi Electric Automation Cup” National Automation Contest and Automation Innovative Design Contest for College Students co-organized by the Chinese Association of Automation and Mitsubishi Electric (China) Co. Ltd.
