look for a job anywhere – application martphones have become a ubiquitous part of everyday life, and the days when the mobile phone was only used for text messaging and conversations are long gone. When the job portal Jobindex decided to jump on the bandwagon in order to be able to offer jobseekers an optimal service, irrespective of where they were, it was a perfect challenge for KEA students who eagerly threw themselves into the development of the new application for Android mobiles. Yet another great example of KEA solving the kinds of challenges that the students will face when they join the real world of employment.

new ideas pushing trolley design – cooper ation Teamwork and reality are keywords for a team comprising Peter Nielsen and Rasmus Hansen, who are both students in KEA’s production technology faculty. When a TV programme revealed the numerous problems DSB’s catering trolleys caused to employees, the two students immediately saw an opportunity and threw themselves into the
task of designing a new catering trolley for trains that takes account of real-life situations and the challenges they present. Together they have developed a trolley which, with its customised drawers, brakes and coffee pots, glides effortlessly through the narrow aisles. Safe, practical and workable in the real world.
