The 33rd Annual Tire Mechanics Short Course will be held concurrently with the International Tire Exhibition and Conference (ITEC) (9/16-9/18) and Tire Society Conference (9/15-9/16) with the aim of having the tire industry and the tire community together in one place at one time.

This five-day course will provide engineers and scientists with an in-depth, intense study of developments surrounding tire engineering.

The course is designed for practicing engineers, chemists, and scientists concerned with tires and vehicles who have an engineering or science background at the Bachelor of Science level. The basic aspects of the mechanics of pneumatic tires will be introduced by internationally renowned experts in tire mechanics.

Over 1000 pages of course notes prepared by the instructors will be provided for all participants. Those who complete this course will receive a certificate from The University of Akron.
