About this program
PhD in Construction of Production Machines and Equipment
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.
