Faculty of Engineering

Education

• the history of the Faculty of Engineering dates back to 1965, when the Technical College was established

• in 2005, the Bologna System was introduced, which aids the compatibility of the qualifications received at the University of Debrecen with universities all over Europe

• the Faculty has over 3.000 students and a highly-qualified and enthusiastic teaching staff of about 100 members

• students are provided with practical knowledge, training and field practice with the help of the numerous prestigious domestic and multi-national industry partners

• internship periods are excellent opportunities for students to experience theory put into practice at the most renowned industry representatives and to become more successful in the labor market in this highly competitive sector

• the Faculty offers a great variety of BSc, MSc courses and post-graduate training courses tailored to suit the rapidly changing world of engineering

• in 2011, the Faculty launched engineering trainings in English

• the Faculty has been a pioneer in the introduction of the Quality Management System at a faculty level, to measure and evaluate the efficiency of its education and teaching staff in order to improve the quality of education and training from the feedback received

• the Faculty was awarded the Quality Prize by the Ministry of Education in 2011 as a recognition for its efforts in this field

 
Research 

• the fields of research of Faculty members are very comprehensive, including

  • the examination of the time-dependant mechanical properties of certain engineering materials (silicatebased materials, polymers, metals)
  • the transport processes of the built environment (building physics, building energy performance, the protection of the built environment, environment-oriented engineering, dynamic examination of transport processes)

• also significant is research in

  • quality and maintenance management
  • applied mathematics and IT
  • architecture and architectural history.

• a new field that emerged a few years ago concerns intelligent machines, which involves research in the field of

  • production informatics and
  • building automation as an application of mechatronics
