Program Outline
The program provides sufficient in-depth theoretical knowledge for students to continue their training in a second-cycle program. The program is a Bachelor of Sciences (BSc) leading to the qualification of Mechanical Engineer. It focuses on equipping graduates with the skills to design and construct machinery, apparatus, equipment, and structures; develop production and assembly technology; develop diagnostic testing, maintenance, reliability, and repair technology; control engineering processes; organize servicing of mechanical equipment; operate and develop logistics and material handling systems; apply environmentally friendly technologies; create industrial environments; and design, manufacture, and operate vehicles and mobile machinery. The program includes specializations in Integrated Agricultural Technologies and Organic Farming Management.
Outline:
The program is structured across 7 semesters (3.5 years) and comprises 210 ECTS credits. The curriculum is divided into three main areas:
- Basic Natural Scientific Knowledge (45 credits): This includes mathematics, mechanics, technical representation, engineering physics, general mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and technical chemistry.
- Economic and Human Knowledge (21 credits): This covers economics, entrepreneurial economics, management, quality and environment management, occupational safety and security, energy management, economic law, and human resources management. An obligatory 6-week internship at a suitable organization is also part of the program.
Careers:
Graduates with a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering can pursue careers in designing and constructing machinery, apparatus, equipment, and structures; developing production and assembly technology; developing diagnostic testing, maintenance, reliability, and repair technology; controlling technological processes; organizing the servicing of mechanical equipment; operating and developing logistics and material handling systems; applying environmentally friendly technologies; creating industrial environments; and designing, manufacturing, and operating vehicles and mobile machinery.
