The Fundamental Programme Objectives and General Competencies
- To provide graduates quality knowledge, based on solid fundamental skills of knowledge and understanding a wide range of mechanical engineering topics, thus providing the graduates the adequate competences skills for appropriate employability, in the case of completion of the study. When they decide to pursue further studies, the acquired knowledge will be an adequate basis for studying on the postgraduate research cycle.
- To develop the ability for critical analysis and synthesis, and to exercise professional engineering responsibility.
- With acquired knowledge from a wide range field of mechanical engineering, comparable with similar study program in Europe, the graduate of certain program will be capable of linking up different interdisciplinary fields.
The structure of the Study Programme
The Study Programme is the same for all students (no specified direction).
