Study programme description		The study programme places a strong emphasis on analytical engineering science and technical fundamentals, which require the ability to apply core mathematical skills, since growing demand for modern and complex industrial machinery, machine tools, robotics and computer controlled processes require highly qualified technologists for their development, manufacture, use and support. Studies are organised in the form of lectures, seminars, project works and discussion groups. Acquired skills of theoretical calculations and computer applications help to solve problems in mechanics and lab experiments creating a solid basis for a further career in industry or further studies in a master programme. Graduates can pursue a mechanical engineer career in both local and international projects as well as in various companies (e.g. automobiles, shipyards, railway transport, etc.) where there is a requirement for expertise in combustion, noise and vibration process control, robotics, quality management, biological engineering, space research, liquid mechanics, water supply, planning machine and mechanism maintenance, consumer goods design, pollution control and mechanical synthesis of new materials.
