Graduate profile

Description
A graduate of the 2-nd degree of the study program "Environmental Engineering" is able to use exact methods of simulation, measurement and monitoring to evaluate and to assess the quantitative and qualitative properties of the living and working environment, as well as machines, devices, equipment and products, including customer-oriented parameters of these products. Subsequently, he/she can optimize these parameters and can propose technical solutions not only for the area of reducing the environmental burden of these products, but also for increasing their complex technical quality. He/she is able to solve challenging environmental tasks independently and has acquired both theoretical and practical knowledge with creative utilisation. The graduate can analyse, optimize and propose technical solutions covering a wide area of environmental quality and quality of technical equipment with a high degree of creativity and independence. With utilisation of knowledge in the given field the graduate can manage teams of workers and lead large projects, as well as take responsibility for complex solutions. He/she applies a scientific approach into solved problems, modern methods and techniques in the field of monitoring, evaluation and optimization of product and environment properties. The graduate finds and presents own solutions to problems in research, development, design and using of engineering products and creatively applies acquired knowledge in practice. The cross-sectional nature of environmental engineering does not exclude the employment of graduates in other sectors, including the economical - social sphere.

Employability

Evaluation of the study programme graduates employability
The main areas of application on the Slovak and European labor market are: - in the area of product quality management, - in the field of organization management as managers of quality, safety and environment management systems, - in business in the field of technical, informational, economic, entrepreneurial and managerial, assurance in relation to the quality of products and the environment, - consultancy-expert activities in the mentioned area, - establishing own research and design companies in the field of environmental protection and management and design of production operations. The first graduates of the Environmental Engineering study program in the engineering degree are registered as of June 2022, when they completed their studies by defending their diploma thesis and state exams. The official employment of graduates has not yet been evaluated.
Evaluation of the study programme quality by employers
Due to the fact that this is a new study program and the first graduates completed their engineering studies in academic year 2021/2022, it is not possible to evaluate their applicability, because there is no feedback from potential employers yet.

List and characteristics of the study programme classrooms
In addition to the classical lecture halls, the following laboratories are also available to ensure the study program (see: http://www.sjf.tuke.sk/kip/sk/veda-a-vyskum/laboratoria-katedry): 1. Laboratory of environmental and chemical analyzes (PK5/S02) - for advanced chemical analyses, quantitative and qualitative analyses, spectrometric and spectrophotometric analyzes and the development of methodology for the objectification of environmental chemical factors, analysis of their impact on humans in the working and living environment. 2.Laboratory of computer modeling and environmental simulations (PK5/004) - focused on modeling and simulation of physical and environmental factors and creation of mathematical models and predictions of individual physical factors through the use of top software tools. 3.Laboratory of physical environmental factors I. (PK5/001) - serves to objectify physical factors, mainly noise, vibrations, electromagnetic field, and solid aerosols. 4.Laboratory of physical environmental factors II. (PK5/007) - has modern instrumentation and measuring technology, including computer equipment, necessary for analyses, expertise and subsequent evaluation of the investigated environmental parameters.
Characteristics of the information provision
