Evaluation of the study programme quality by employers
Based on the statements of authorities from practice and the knowledge gained during the discussion within the meeting of the Council of the study program Electrical Engineering, 3rd grade, full-time form (hereinafter referred to as the EP), representatives of external parties from practice welcome and support the existence and development of the EP, which is characterized not only by a narrow focus on specialization in the field of industrial electrical engineering, but also by a certain degree of interdisciplinarity within the field of electrical engineering, which is enhanced by the fact that pedagogical activity is covered by several departments of the faculty. Graduates find employment not only in various areas of industrial electrical engineering, but also in other job positions and specializations in electrical engineering. From the perspective of employers, there was, is and will be interest in the employment of graduates of the aforementioned study program in practice. There is already a serious shortage of qualified specialists in this field, which is starting to cause problems with filling vacant job positions and to some extent hinders the faster development of the industry in the field of industrial electrical engineering and related areas of electrical engineering in Slovakia and especially in the eastern Slovak region. Employers see a high need for the aforementioned study program for practice and guarantee employment for all successful graduates if they are interested in working in the given field. Statements from authorities from practice are available in the Appendix to the study program folder in the system https://res.tuke.sk/forms/osp/sp/100127
