Mechanical Technologies

Characteristics

A graduate of the Engineering Technology study program has knowledge of conventional and unconventional technologies of forming, plastic processing, machining, welding, joining, and surface treatment of materials. He is able to analyze and solve the tasks of the pre-production, production and post-production stages, also with the support of CAx technologies. Can creatively apply acquired knowledge in the complex design of engineering production using conventional and progressive technologies.

Aims of education

Graduates have the ability to integrate and apply knowledge, manage complexity and formulate decisions when applying the principles of technological design of components and products, apply knowledge about the construction, structure and utility properties of materials when processing them into structural products. When applying their knowledge and making decisions, they manage complexity and formulate decisions even with incomplete or limited information in the field of forming, plastic processing, machining, welding, joining, pre-treatment of surfaces and surface treatments. They will be ready to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge in the design and construction of machines and tools for conventional and unconventional technologies.
Graduates will gain expanded knowledge about the possibility of using experimental methods in assessing the safety and reliability of machines and about methods of product quality control from the point of view of social and ethical responsibility.
Graduates are able to clearly and unambiguously communicate conclusions, findings and justifications to both experts and lay recipients using mathematical modeling methods, simulation methods, logistics and mathematical optimization.
Graduates of the study program are able to formulate relevant conclusions from realized experimental analyzes in solving scientific and technical problems of engineering practice, thus having developed educational skills that allow them to continue further self-study and are prepared for doctoral studies (third level) in the study program Mechanical Technologies and materials.

Learning Outcomes

Graduates of the Engineering Technology study program, on the basis of the acquired knowledge in the areas of materials, conventional as well as progressive engineering technologies of forming, plastic processing, machining, welding, joining, pretreatment of surfaces and surface treatments, and knowledge of a foreign language can be employed in engineering as well as metallurgical enterprises in in the functions of technologists, designers, production coordinators, quality controllers, in the administration of pre-production stages, sellers of engineering products, sales representatives of manufacturers of tools, machines and equipment.
Graduates of the program can creatively apply the acquired knowledge in the complex design of the production process and will find employment as a research and development worker, coordinator and manager of work teams in production companies in the design and development of modern production technologies and also in ensuring the operation of these technologies within the Slovak Republic, respectively. abroad.
After completing the pedagogical and psychological basics, they can also be applied in education. For graduates with excellent academic results, it is possible to continue in the 3rd stage of university studies in the Mechanical Technologies and Materials study program, which allows obtaining a scientific-academic PhD degree.
