Program Overview

Program Overview

The Mechanical Engineering BSc program at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) is designed to train proficient mechanical engineers with a comprehensive foundation in both theoretical principles and industrial practices. The program's primary objective is to equip students with the expertise necessary for involvement in the design and production of entire machinery systems or individual machine components.

Program Structure

• The program is offered by the Faculty of Informatics, Savaria Institute of Technology, and Savaria University Center in Szombathely.
• The program is taught in English and has a duration of 7 semesters (3.5 years).
• The program requires 210 ECTS credits to complete.
• The minimum number of students required for the program to run is 15, and the maximum number of students is 48.

Program Description

The Mechanical Engineering BSc program provides students with fundamental knowledge in Mechanical Engineering within the context of Production Technologies. The curriculum encompasses rigorous core subjects such as Applied Solid- and Fluid Mechanics, complemented by advanced computational tools such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE), and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Students are exposed to both theoretical underpinnings and practical methodologies, preparing them for the creation and implementation of complex engineering systems and structures.

Strength of Program

The program's strength is underpinned by a highly qualified academic faculty committed to maintaining a high standard of education. Modern infrastructure, including equipment such as tensile testers, CNC machines, SEM microscopes, and robots, as well as well-equipped computer labs featuring software like Ansys, Solid Edge, Inventor, ADAMS, and Matlab, support the teaching and research activities. The Faculty's extensive library houses thousands of volumes, enriching the learning experience.

Career Opportunities

Mechanical Engineers are welcome in several sectors of engineering both in Hungary and anywhere in Europe. Jobs are offered by large international companies, outstanding Hungarian firms, large enterprises, state institutions, vehicle producing companies, research institutes, and universities. Graduates may be engaged in the preparation of computer-aided design, structural analysis, quality management's issues and their solutions, production efficiency enhancement, or management tasks.
