organization of frequent study trips. Learning
by Seeing is stressed through the visits to
different scales of farms, municipalities and
MA English 10
rural development agencies and projects, as
well as to our partner universities in
neighboring Slovakia and Romania. The wide
range of management and rural development
skills enable the graduates to pursue different

Knowledge of a mechanical engineer is
determinant in the designing and controlling of
production processes. The mechanical
engineer contributes to develop new systems
and to make good use of his/her knowledge in
the distribution and adaptation of different
equipment and technologies. The primary
purpose of the training is to ensure an engineer

knowledge. Through this knowledge the

engineer is able to perform technical
development, design and control tasks.
Specialization: APPLIED INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY BSc English 10
Several characteristic applications of the three
dimensional modeling and design, the model
analysis (material and technical properties,
finite element methods, motion simulations),
the design of tools (e.g. cast and mold design),
the NC technology (lathe and mill strategies,
tool path computations, machining simulations,
post-processing) are shown. The students
learn the basics of the use of applied
CAD/CAM systems.

The faculty maintains a dynamic program
structure, continuously changing to meet the
demands of the labor market and to meet new
technological challenges. We see it as our duty
to keep up with these changes and provide our
students with the most up-to-date education. All
countries with developed economies struggle
with a lack of engineers. A degree in
engineering and natural sciences can offer
students a competitive edge and long term
security in the labor market. As a result of the
training they will be prepared to successfully

solve problems of different technological,
planning, manufacturing, constructing and
Szent Istvn University

operating tasks. The employability and

competency of our graduates is of the utmost
importance to us. We realized that their
knowledge is not only representative of them,
but also of us as a school. For this reason, we MSc English 10
strive to train the best and brightest minds of
tomorrow's engineering workforce. The mission
of the Faculty is to educate mechanical
engineers and experts who respect and protect
natural resources and cultural values, work in
the spirit of sustainable growth and participate
in rural development. Specialization:
TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT
During the specialization, possibilities in the
technical development, manufacturing
technology, mechanical engineering
technology, standards, brands, patents,
investment knowledge are discussed. Aim of
the specialization is to give a complex
technical-economical way of looking at things.
