Science and Research at Faculty of Engineering

Science and research work is an important activity at any university or faculty. The CULS Faculty of Engineering (FE) has been achieving long-term positive results both in the field of research as such (theoretical and applied), as well as in education and in reserach development.

The faculty workers have been involved successfully in a variety of grant projects, and the Faculty has been cooperating particularly with the major grant agencies such as NAZV, FRVŠ, GAČR, and has been involved even in the Ministry of Education research task. More than 30 grant projects have been dealt with recently. The Faculty has its own Internal Grant Agency aimed particularly at the support of the PhD students and young workers who have so far been limited in winning a major external grant.

The research results have been regularly published in scientific and specialist periodicals, in the book form namely in scientific monographs, and they have been presented at scientific conferences and published in conference paper collections. A number of faculty members have acquired international reputation.

In research and science the Faculty has been cooperating with other research-oriented institutions, namely with partner universities and research institutes at home and abroad.

The Faculty of Engineering has an intertwined and follow-up system of accredited fields of doctoral studies and habilitation and professorial proceedings. The accredited fields of doctoral studies are as follows:

Power industry
Technology of production processes
Technical equipment and mechanization in agriculture
Marketing of machinery and technical systems
Quality and dependability of machinery and equipment

The accredited fields for habilitations and professorial proceedings are

Power industry
Technology and equipment for the processing of farm materials and products
Technical equipment and mechanization in agriculture

The PhD students can study on-campus or in the combined form (while employed). The increasing number of applicants for PhD studies indicates the growing interest in the PhD studies at CULS Faculty of Engineering. Foreign students are equally interested in the PhD

studies at FE.

The Faculty has been supporting its staff qualification development, the number of professors guarantees a high level of education and research.

The Faculty of Engineering history and development and the strategy of further work are described in ´Further Information´ (click here).
