This is a so-called basic education course, „since always” present within the Mechanical Faculty. The basic subject blocks like mathematics, physics, informatics and foreign languages shape the general student’s knowledge in this course. A student acquires a directional speciality by studying mechanics, material strength, materials science, thermodynamics, mechanisms and machines theory, principles of machine design, computeraided engineering techniques, manufacturing techniques etc. Specialities in this course provide a graduate with detailed knowledge on e.g. hydraulic machines, land vehicles, operation and diagnostics of 10 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering The offered education courses Control Engineering and Robotics: artificial intelligence permits a graduate unconstrained • 1 degree studies – engineer’s degree (7 semesters) cooperation with specialists from various fields.

Studies in this field belong to the most difficult and, at the same time, the most fascinating because of their interdisciplinary nature.
