VISIT OF DEMINERS BY STUDENTS

Six groups (of 2 students each) of students of the department of mechanics (génie mécanique et productique) of the "institut universitaire de technologie" of MULHOUSE are performing their "project" on themes concerning mine clearance, as proposed by ARTID.
On november 27th, 2001, ARTID went with these students and their professor, Bernard SCHLEGEL, to the "1er Régiment du Génie" (Engineering Corps Regiment) in ILLKIRCH (in the vicinity of STRASBOURG).
A lot of informations concerning the landmines, the mine clearance (military as well as humanitarian) were given to the students. They had also the opportunity to see the different mine clearance techniques which were demonstrated.
