STATEMENT ON ENSURING THE SYSTEM OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAM: The system of monitoring and evaluation of the study program includes the processes of obtaining feedback and provides sufficient information on the progress and outcomes of the education so that adequate measures can be taken to maintain and improve the quality of the study program. OVERALL COMMENT: The study program fulfills sector-specific expectations, requirements of practice and the labor market. For the evaluation of the study programs Materials, Materials Engineering and Materials Science, a questionnaire was prepared and sent to selected employers and industrial partners. Representatives of five employers participated in the questionnaire survey (two representatives of SAS institutes and three representatives of industrial partners). The evaluation of the individual parameters of the study programs was mostly positive. Questions related to the focus, content and content of the study programs and their importance for practice were answered positively, respectively. rather positive. They also answered questions related to the employment of graduates and their perspective in industrial practice. Those partners who employ graduates of evaluated study programs evaluated their readiness, practical skills and creativity for performance in their company mostly positively, or rather positive. A specific evaluation of the statements and proposals of authorities from practice and employers from the survey questionnaires are given in the appendices of the minutes of the meeting of the Joint Board of Study Programs Materials No. 1/22.

List and characteristics of the study programme classrooms
To ensure the educational outcomes in the study program, classrooms and laboratories are available on the grounds of the Technical University in Košice (FMMR, UMIK), which have both classical and special technology, devices and instruments, intended for teaching and research, especially in the field of material sciences. For the provision of lectures, computational exercises and seminars, or laboratory exercises, classrooms for a larger number of students are available in the premises of the Institute of Materials and Quality Engineering (PK11). The specialized laboratories of the Institute of Materials and Quality Engineering (UMIK) are used for practical teaching and the implementation of experimental subject programs and students' final theses, the list and equipment of which can be found on the UMIK website: https://umik.fmmr.tuke.sk/laboratoria-a-ucebne/ For the teaching of other subjects of other specializations, classrooms and specialized laboratories of other FMMR institutes are also available, the list and equipment of which can be found on the website: https://urt.fmmr.tuke.sk/index.php?hm=ustav&sm=laboratoria&lang=svk https://umet.fmmr.tuke.sk/Home/LabsHaZ https://umet.fmmr.tuke.sk/Home/LabsTTaP https://umet.fmmr.tuke.sk/Home/LabsNM Within the scope of excursions and teaching of selected topics in material science subjects, in cooperation with SAV institutes, UMV SAV laboratories are also used, the list and equipment of which can be found on the website: https://websrv.saske.sk/imr/vedecke-divizie/divizia-kovovych-systemov/vyskumne-oblasti/
