Introduction
PhD in Construction and Production Machines and Equipment
The Construction of Production Machines program aims to educate researchers in the field of machine design and sophisticated production technologies, whether they are basic structural elements and nodes, or complex projects of large machinery. The program consists of several specializations. These specializations cover a relatively large area of construction and calculations of both machines and their parts and groups. Another area is the issue of machine drives, both mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic. Other specializations are transport and material handling, earthmoving, mining and construction machinery. Within the complexity of the program, knowledge in the field of maintenance and diagnostics is deepened for all the above-mentioned devices. The whole study is highly professional and the latest knowledge of the field is applied in it. Top designs and optimization methods are used in designs and calculations. Of course, work with modern 3D CAD applications and FEM systems. Students design machines and machine parts with regard to load-bearing capacity and required service life. Graduates acquire these resources on a professional level. They become experts in individual specializations and at the same time their knowledge is sufficient to be able to work as designers or calculators in other design fields.
This field offers the study of one of several specializations in the field of construction and calculations of both machines and their parts and groups. In the field it is possible to study the issue of machine drives, both mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic. Furthermore, in the field it is possible to gain knowledge from transport and material handling, earthmoving, mining and civil engineering machines, production machines, etc. The whole study is highly professional and the latest knowledge in the field is applied in it. Top designs and optimization methods are used in designs and calculations. Of course, work with modern 3D CAD applications and FEM systems. Students will design machines and machine parts with regard to load-bearing capacity and required service life. Graduates will learn to manage these tools at a professional level as designers or computer scientists in all fields of engineering.

Program Outcome
Graduate's skills
Graduates of doctoral studies in the field of Construction of Production Machines and Equipment will gain theoretical knowledge, practical skills and experience necessary for independent scientific work in various specializations of the field, which reflect the design directions of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the needs of industrial practice.
The basic skills of the graduate program include:
- Orientation in engineering standards and in technical documentation of machines, devices and equipment.
- Management of construction work and projects on a complete type of product from design to introduction into production.
- Independent processing of design solutions for more demanding engineering products.
- Elaboration of design documentation of engineering products and their parts.
- Communication in production, design, technology, economics, etc.
- Selection of suitable materials and semi-finished products for designed components, design of methods of their heat treatment and surface treatment.
- Strength calculations of complex stressed machine parts and metal structures.
- Elaboration of procedures, instructions and other documents for testing, use and technical conditions of the product, documents, etc.
- Carrying out economic evaluation of the product and more.
