About this program
Bachelors in Engineering (Hydraulics and Pneumatics)
You will become an expert in the design of machinery and elements in which liquid or compressed air plays a primary role. As a graduate you will master the laws of hydrostatics, the laws of flow of ideal and real fluids, and you will be able to use them in practice in the construction of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. You will get acquainted with the design and characteristics of individual elements and test their function on interactive simulators. You will then apply this knowledge in your profession as a designer or technician. Just look around, hydraulics and pneumatics are everywhere. If you have a talent to trade, you can not only design these devices, but also sell them. You can also find job in related fields, such as lubrication technology, transport of liquids and gases, water management, or even hydraulic and pneumatic transport.

Qualification
Graduate's skills
Using professional knowledge, the graduates are able to solve practical problems in the field, to find and organize the information needed to solve a given problem using computer support (CAD, etc.). They can design parts of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. They can read and draw functional diagrams of hydraulic and pneumatic circuits. Based on practical tasks, they are able to assemble hydraulic and pneumatic circuits, propose methods of their control, calculate the parameters of a steady-state circuit, and perform basic dynamic calculations. They can write a technical report, process specifications of used elements and devices, elaborate assembly, operation and maintenance guide of equipment. They can develop a diagnostic procedure and perform diagnostic measurements on components and systems. They also know the basic research procedures and methods of the field and can use them to solve practical problems.
Graduate's general competence
Graduates are able to present their results to the lay and professional public, defend their solutions, propose technical solutions with regard to economic, ecological, occupational safety requirements, etc. They are able to acquire professional knowledge by studying theoretical background from professional literature, but also on the basis of practical experience. They can search for the necessary data on the Internet. They can design technical solutions on the basis of a framework assignment from areas they know only partially. They prove this ability by solving individual projects in professional subjects, solving yearly projects and especially by processing and defending their bachelor thesis. They can work in a team and, to a certain extent, they can coordinate the work of a team.
Career paths
Graduate's employment
Graduates will find employment as designers or planners of hydraulic and pneumatic systems, or as technicians providing operation, diagnostics and repairs of fluid systems.
