Evaluation of the study programme quality by employers
The field of study Automotive Production is highly current and highly valued in the conditions of the Slovak industry. Students will find employment in both production and development spheres of the industry. Creativity, communication and up-to-date technical knowledge, which they will be able to apply in real technical projects in practice, must be expected from the graduates. An important part of studying automotive production at the Faculty of Engineering, in addition to the technical subjects themselves, must be world languages ​​(at least one) and CAx systems, with which Automotive production is closely connected, and which are necessary for application in this industry. From a development and design point of view, I would recommend specializing in CATIA and NX systems. During bachelor's studies, it is necessary for students to focus on technical education itself - technical drawing, CAx systems, physics, mechanics, dynamics, elasticity and strength, but also other subjects that are important for automotive production. The conclusion of the bachelor's study should be a thesis devoted to technical areas, which contains at least a technical analysis of the chosen automotive topic with maximum use of the technical knowledge acquired during the first years of study. General topics with no technical added value should be avoided. Ing. Michal Dúbravčík, PhD., - member of the study program board Position: Engineering Supervisor Lear Corporation Seating Slovakia s.r.o. 080 01 Prešov Dear Mr. professor. First of all, I would like to thank you for the opportunity to be a member of the commission for the bachelor's state exams - automobile production. I have to state that the course of the exams itself in terms of organization was managed at a high level. During the students' answers, it was clear that a high-quality and qualified teaching staff works with them during the course. However, I would like to point out possible improvements: - all theses should undergo a language proofreading and only then should they be printed and published (this is also necessary because there are more and more foreign students lately). - students should improve the graphic presentation of final works (image formatting, arrangement, display...). - it should be mandatory for foreign language students to complete at least a six-month course in the Slovak language and only then enroll them in classes. They had a problem responding to questions in the Slovak language. Ing. Marek Výrostek, PhD. - member of the study program board Executive director ZASTROVA, a. with. Spišská Stará Ves Ing. David Vaněk +420732 296 664. david.vanek@skoda-auto.cz 01.06.2022 Subject: References for the accreditation of the TUKE Automotive Production study program, based on the assessment of the success of graduates. Based on your request to provide references based on experience with graduates of TUKE, study program of Automotive Production, I inform you that our experience with your students is positive, the overall level of students is excellent, at the level of the requirements of the time. Outstanding are those students who, beyond the scope of their study duties, participated in the joint program "Disk", where they tried the application of acquired skills and extra-professional abilities on a real problem. Those who went on to complete an internship and diploma thesis for Škoda Auto get a job an average of 2 years faster than their colleagues from the standard study program. We believe that after the effects of Covid-19 restrictions and current socio-economic problems have subsided, we will be able to return to this regime at least partially. We appreciate your graduates' knowledge of the Catia 3D system, in which we work productively, the ability to effectively communicate with colleagues from related departments, such as FEM calculations, creation of surface data, construction, technology and design. The knowledge in the field of metals (forming and machining) is at a high level, it would help us to supplement the knowledge in the field of plastic production (especially injection molding). Your graduates excel in their ability to constantly learn new things. Your graduates need to strengthen their communication in a foreign language, for our environment a combination of English (negotiated) supplemented with colloquial/professional knowledge of German is ideal. I believe that the accreditation process will recognize your permanent and realistically achieved results, especially evident over the last decade, and we will be able to continue to rely on you as a long-term stable, solid partner. Best regards. ŠKODA Ing. David Vanek Head of the EBA department
