Department of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture

About the department

44 members of staff, 15 laboratories, 9 chairs and 12 projects

Areas of interest of the department are design of mechanical engineering structures, thermal engineering and shipbuilding structures and design. In the department laboratories you can observe applications of fascinating motor fuels and systems and development of vehicles of the future, or carry out aerodynamic flow simulation. And if you still need to cool down, plunge into marine hydrodynamics and underwater engineering structures.
