PhD in Production Processes and Materials
The graduates are research, scientific and managerial workers with complex education who can deal with a broad scale of problems concerning materials used in mechanical engineering, processing technologies (machining, forming, casting, welding) as well as tool and machine design for these technologies. They have knowledge of the application of classical and non-traditional processing technologies and they have mastered modern ways of research, using problem simulation on the models, for which they can verify the boundary and initial conditions in order to obtain the required precision of solution. They can work in research organizations and in the management of engineering enterprises as well as in the sphere of technical and quality control.
-
PhD in Quality of Production
The graduates from the Production Quality study program possess knowledge in tool application and planning methods, ensuring and management of production quality. They have mastered scientific methods of management and the philosophy of a complex approach to quality management (TQM); have acquired the principles of independent and team work. They are able to analyze existing, and design new, progressive processes of quality improvement, and to implement quality management systems within the Standards STN EN ISO 9001:2001 or other models (EFQM and others). They can work in applied research and the development of new processes and products, as well as in top management. As quality managers or auditors they find application in all areas of economic life connected with marketing planning and quality control - personnel management.
-
