Graduating in the CSoME study programme provided me with a general overview of the issues of technology and the use of CAD programs in production support as well as 3D modelling. As a candidate for the job of a product designer, I had a great advantage thanks to my ability to control the aforementioned CAD programs. I have also used the acquired knowledge of plastic injection technology, which I am currently working with.

I hold the team of teachers at KPPT in high regard, as well as the opportunity to gain experience in engineering companies (Magna, Škoda Auto, etc.), especially if the student has the determination, interest and the opportunity to participate in the Škoda DISK project. The extracurricular activities organized by the A-team within the faculty are always a positive addition.
