The SAIMC branches are doing very well this year. If you as a member have not been able to get to a technology evening to learn something new regarding technology and network with your peers, I urge you to make a plan to get to one of them.
It has been my absolute pleasure to join the different branches for their technology evenings, where I myself could learn new things and also had the opportunity to network with everyone. I want to thank all members who have come forward with new ideas and also issues that need to be resolved. It is an honour to interact with you and hear your thoughts on how we can improve the SAIMC to be an organisation that works for you, the member.
Also, if you have not registered with the SAIMC, registration is now automated on our website. I would like to thank Johan Maartens, our COO, for the steps that have been taken in this regard. I know that with time, you as a member will have a better user experience with more automation to ensure we make it as user friendly as possible.
If you have any suggestions or comments you are welcome to contact me. We value your insights.
SAIMC: From the office of the COO SAIMC
SAIMC
The recognition of mechatronics and computer engineering has created both an opportunity and a responsibility. Recognition means little without participation, professional registration without professional conduct, and technical knowledge without the mentorship, implementation and measurable value that industry needs.
