Institute of Process Engineering

The Department of Process Engineering is one of the specialised academic units of the Faculty of Manufacturing Technologies. It provides modern education and conducts scientific research in the fields of fluid mechanics, thermal engineering, energy processes, renewable energy sources, and process engineering. Students acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in laboratories equipped with modern measurement and diagnostic instruments. The Department is responsible for the Renewable Energy Sources study programme at all three cycles of higher education—Bachelor’s, Engineering, and Doctoral. The research activities of the Department of Process Engineering focus on the efficient utilisation of energy, reducing the energy intensity of buildings and technologies, integrating renewable energy sources into heating and cooling systems, and developing multi-source energy systems. The department cooperates with domestic and international universities, research institutions, and industrial partners.

The Department of Manufacturing Process Monitoring focuses on teaching fundamental and applied engineering knowledge and skills. Its scientific and research activities focus on the study of mechatronic systems for manufacturing machinery and equipment, dimensional and strength optimisation of the static, kinematic, and dynamic characteristics of mechanisms, the analysis of loading conditions in belt transmissions, and the development of methods for monitoring and diagnosing technical equipment. In cooperation with companies and institutions, the department also provides engineering and design services for clients operating in various technical and industrial sectors.
