Simon Stevin

We are W.S.V. Simon Stevin: the study association for Mechanical Engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. Counting more than 1600 members of which about 150 participate actively in 25 committees, organising all kinds of events interesting for mechanical engineers.

Our association is named after Simon Stevin Brugghelinck, the first ‘Mechanical engineer’. He lived from 1548 till 1620. Stevin was broad oriented, for example he proved that force is a vector with his clootkrans-proof. Just like Simon Stevin we think broadly in order to help our members as good as possible.

Our association has approximately 1600 members. Around 150 of them are active in 25 committees. There are many committees, from the beer tapping committee to the symposium committee. This diversity makes Simon Stevin one of the most active associations of Eindhoven.

The committees and the Board organise activities every week, based on the following three pillars: education, development and relaxation. We try to find a good balance within these three pillars. There is something for everyone!
