During the aerial bombardment of Miskolc in 1944 a lot of families found shelter
in cellars around the town. My own parents were hiding on Csermoke, the hill
above the present university campus, where they hid me, too. The then
uninhabited and romantic Dudujka valley with the surrounding hills and mountains
were depicted in several paintings by the Miskolc colony of artists, followers
of the Nagybánya school.
Nobody would have thought then that the traditions of another town, Selmecbánya,
which at that time had also belonged to a foreign country for decades, would
also be adopted and cherished in Miskolc. As well as the older faculties, that
of Mechanical Engineering was established 50 years ago. During this period the
Faculty has been constantly growing, changing and developing - now in a mutually
supportive environment to which faculties of arts and social sciences also
belong. Some of the founding professors are still with us and many of our alumni
attend the student reunions held at the end of August each year. These meetings,
as well as the traditions based on those of Selmec and the departmental parties
where graduates are presented with their memorial rings, all form a long-lasting
link between engineers who graduate from Miskolc.
The transformation of the world triggered by the information technology
revolution has given decisive importance to the free movement of the workforce
in addition to the free flow of information, capital and goods. Technical
sciences, especially information sciences, mechanical and electrical
engineering, together with managerial expertise, have the undeniable advantage
that the basic laws and acquired skills can be utilised in the same way in any
country. In other words the knowledge acquired at the Faculty of Mechanical
Engineering is perfectly convertible. On the one hand, this is due to the fact
that it can be utilised almost irrespective of the actual geographical location,
and on the other hand it provides a thorough professional grounding for the
engineer to depend on with regard to lifelong learning - whether in the form of
full-time, part-time or distance learning courses. Even now we have numerous
examples of our recent graduates gaining secure positions and experiencing the
delights of creative work with multinational and Hungarian companies either
abroad or here at home.
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering provides you with an excellent opportunity
to shape your future. Take it!

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
(Founded in 1949)Undergraduate programmes
The objective is to make students of mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering, information technology, technical management and energetics
engineering capable of performing engineering tasks by giving them substantial
basic professional knowledge and by teaching them the methodology of their
chosen specialisation.
University level programmes
Mechanical engineering: The educational objective is to train engineers who
possess substantial knowledge in natural sciences and the fundamentals of
technology, and who, adapting skills developed through the specialisation, will
be able to design the production and service processes and systems of machines
and equipment, and to perform controlling, testing and development tasks. Sub-
specialisations: Material flow and logistics, electronics-automisation, the
mechanics of machines and structures, machine design, welding technology,
engineering mathematics, material sciences, energetics, mechanical engineering
technology, information processing, mechatronics, technical management,
mechanical engineering in the silicate and in the chemical industry. Information technology: The objective is to train engineers having a wide range
of knowledge in information technology. In the different specialisations our
students acquire the skills which enable them to solve problems at a high level,
in mechanical engineering, energetics, measurement technology and production-logistics,
as well as problems arising in other fields of technology, which
require different aspects of information technology expertise. Sub-specialisations:
the information technology of production processes, the
information technology of design processes, systems technology.
Technical management (a course jointly conducted with the Faculty of Economics):
The educational objective is to train experts who, having a relatively broad
grounding in both natural and social sciences, are able to prepare, run, direct
and develop companies and other corporate organisations, by applying their
technical, information technology, logistics, economic and management knowledge.
Sub-specialisations: Machine engineering, information technology, environment
protection.
Polytechnic-level courses
Mechanical engineering: The educational objective is to train engineers who
learn how to handle the mechanical, production and assembly technologies and
processes of machines, machine systems and production plants, as well as how to
solve related operation and controlling tasks, on the basis of the fundamentals
of natural and technical sciences and general machine engineering. Students
acquire the necessary skills and practice through the following sub-
specialisations: production automatization, information technology, environment
protection, mechatronics, quality control, technical management, production
process control and logistics.
Electrical engineering:The objective is to train engineers capable of solving
various electrical and automization problems arising in the implementation and
operation of production and servicing processes, as they possess the necessary
knowledge in natural sciences, the fundamentals of technology, general
electrical engineering and automatization. Sub-specialisations: process control,
information sciences, digital systems technology, output electronics, tele-
communications. Sub-specialisations: Process control, information technology,
digital systems technology, power electronics, telecommunications.
Mathematical programming: The objective of the course is to train experts of
information sciences who having a substantial knowledge about softwares based on
a thorough grounding in mathematics and computation sciences are able to
participate in software development, computational systems development and
systems management projects and go on to postgraduate training to get a
university degree in mathematical software design.
