After many years and several attempts, the IFToMM Executive Council has supported the organization of ISEMMS, IFToMM Symposium on Education of MMS since 2010thankstotheeffortsbyProf.Juan-CarlosGarcía-PradainhispositionofPC chair. The team at the Carlos III University in Leganés, Spain, as coordinated locally by Prof. Cristina Castejón did a great job attracting several interesting contributionsinthemanyaspectsofMMSEducation.Authorsfromallaroundthe world have presented their views and information about current situations and possible future perspectives.

This is to congratulate the organizers and authors for this book giving an overview of problems and situations on MMS Education with several points for future discussions and possibilities of improvements of our future.

Pàmies-Vilà and P. Català Calderón Introduction The First International Symposium on the Education in Mechanism and Machine Science (ISEMMS 2013) is the first event of a promising series of symposiums focused on Mechanism and Machine Science (MMS) education. In the 1970s of the last century, Prof. Artobolevsky proposed a first seminar about ‘Education in MMS’.Today,manyyearsafterthispioneerseminar,thePermanentCommission (PC) of Education of IFToMM has established these new series symposium. This first conference has been held at Madrid on June 13–14 of 2013. TheaimoftheISEMMSsymposiumistoestablishaforumwhereteachersand researchers interchange experience in the field of MMS. We have received 44 abstracts by authors from all around the world. After the review process 32 contributions were selected for presentation and publication in thisbook.TheprogramofISEMMS2013hasincludedtechnicalsessionswithoral presentations, two plenary sessions and social activities that enhanced to share experiences, discussions and let all the participants to start new collaborations among them. The contributions cover topics related with new trends and experiences, mechanical engineer curricula, methodology and virtual labs. We would like to express grateful thanks to the members of the steering committee for ISEMMS 2013 who have collaborated for the success of the symposium, especially Professors Pietro Fanghella, Joerg Bauer and Olga Egorova. xi
