Evaluation of the study programme quality by employers
Reference of supervisor Slavomír Basarik: Ľuboš Ďuracka, a graduate of TUKE in the field of automotive production, put his knowledge acquired during his university studies to practical use. He is part of the R&D team for the implementation of existing and the development of new car seat mechanisms. The field of study fit into our production profile within the general overview of production processes, but also CAD literacy. Its main contribution is in the field of creativity, the ability to propose and innovate the existing design according to the customer's needs so that manufacturability is taken into account either at the supplier or in our production processes. From my point of view (supervisor L. Duracka), this field of study has great potential not only for the automotive industry but for the entire Slovak industry. Supervisor Slavomir Basarik: Lear Slovakia, Prešov Ing. David Vaněk +420732 296 664. david.vanek@skoda-auto.cz 01.06.2022 Subject: References for the accreditation of the TUKE Automotive Production program, based on the assessment of the success of graduates. Based on your request to provide references based on experience with graduates of TUKE, field 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. IT IS A PITY Ing. David Vanek Head of the EBA department Conceptual dimensioning and accompanying design ŠKODA AUTO a.s. References of the manager Ing. Jan Vajda František Vdovjak certainly put his knowledge from the field of automotive production to practical use at TUKE. Although he works in a relatively specific field, which was not taught at universities, he built on knowledge from other areas and subjects that were discussed. He brought to practice an overview of production processes, the possibilities of construction and technology, he knew how to use the programs he used at university in practice. Of course, in practice he had to adapt to the conditions of a specific employer and individual projects, and he managed it without any problems. I cannot assess how much the teaching at the university had an influence, what influence personal qualities (reliability, ability to cooperate, friendly dealings) have on work and further development, the result is that František Vdovjak is an indispensable member of our team, we can also use his skills for the guidance and accompaniment of other colleagues. 24.5.2022 Ing.

Šimon Sirý, a graduate of TUKE in the field of Automotive Manufacturing, is currently employed as a member of the EBS department team. Thanks to good preparation and his own initiative, he currently took over the coordination of the design of wheel discs for the complete model ranges of our cars. He is well-versed in languages and independent in work negotiations. Ing. Maroš Gerda coordinator of the EBS department

Characteristics of the information provision
Access to study literature and information databases is provided through the TUKE University Library: http://www.lib.tuke.sk/Library/Home/DigitalLibrary The library fund of UK TUKE consists of its own funds (books, scripts, anthologies, magazines, theses and electronic media). In 2022, the library fund consisted of 172,878 book units. The annual addition to the library is over 3,000 book units. The study room contains basic and supplementary study literature, magazines, anthologies, encyclopedias, language and educational dictionaries. Users have free access to them. As part of the lending services, users borrow approximately 5,000 book units annually. The university library has barrier-free access to 2 elevators and 2 barrier-free toilets. There are 650 study places and more than 300 places with electrical sockets for charging laptops and mobile phones. The library has 32 desktop computers with Internet connection, intranet, Wi-Fi network and access to databases of electronic periodicals. Through the library's Copycenter, students have access to printing and reprographic services provided on 12 printers, 3 of which are large-capacity for oversized printing. The library also has its own digitization workplace with a scanning robot, as well as a book scanner for the public, which is located in the study room. Currently, the library fund is being built not only on a physical level (print and USB, CD, DVD), but also a repository of digitized books from the library fund on the MediaINFO platform, containing over 600 titles, is being developed. Access to information technologies is ensured through ÚVT TUKE: https://uvt.tuke.sk/wps/portal/uv/software
