Study at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering offers a wide range of opportunities for a personal professional development, mainly in the theoretical but also in the practical area. Within my doctoral studies, I was allowed to develop my own professional creativity during preparation of my dissertation thesis. A great advantage for me was also my participation in solving of many significant, scientific-research oriented projects.
