Pedagogical process
At the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the pedagogical process on levels 1 and 2 takes place in the form of lectures and practical work or in the form of a seminar. The lectures are led by a professor who teaches the subject matter. The lectures take place in the mornings in lecture halls. The practical work is led by an assistant who transfers the theoretical material into practical examples. The practical work take place both in the morning and in the afternoon in lecture halls or laboratories. At the beginning of the academic year, students are divided into groups determined by the Faculty. The practical work groups are published at the Faculty website under the heading Notices to Students.
At present, the following study programs are carried out at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering:
Level 1:
Professional higher study program of level in 1 Mechanical Engineering - project application program lasts 3 years, is practice-oriented and is divided into 5 basic areas of study in the second year and fields of study in the third year. Graduates obtain the title of graduate Mechanical Engineer (Professional higher education- VS).
| Year 1 | Year 2 - areas of study | Year 3 - fields of study |
single | Energy, Process and Environmental Engineering - EPO | Energy Engineering Household and sanitary engineering Process engineering |
Design, operation and maintenance - SOV | Transport and working machinery Mobile technology Management of technical systems | |
Production engineering - PRS | Production technologies Production management Merging technology | |
| Mechatronics - MEH | Mehatronics | |

University study program of level 1 in Mechanical Engineering - Research and development program lasts 3 years and is not divided into areas of study. Students acquire theoretical knowledge to continue their studies at level 2. Graduates obtain the title of graduate Mechanical Engineer (Academic higher education - UN).
Level 2:
Master’s study program of level 2 in Mechanical Engineering - Research and development program lasts 2 years and is divided into 4 basic and 7 interdisciplinary areas of study. Graduates obtain the title of Master of Mechanical Engineering.
