Aims

Undergraduate university study in Mechanical Engineering shall prepare students for the graduate university study in Mechanical Engineering, and shall also provide opportunities for employment at appropriate professional positions. The aim of the study is to train students to apply basic and specialist knowledge in mechanical engineering, to recognise, form, and solve practical problems, to apply other acquired knowledge in engineering, mathematics, and computer engineering, to use modern engineering tools, to understand teamwork and effective communication, to understand ethics and ethical responsibility, and to understand the influence of engineering solutions on the society and the surroundings. Graduating students must be capable of pursuing lifelong learning and professional development, and they must have a broad education (being familiar with topics outside engineering). If students decide to continue their study, they shall be able to enrol into the graduate university study in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Engineering, or same study at other universities in Croatia.
