Evaluation of the study programme quality by employers
1. Ing. Karol Angelovič, head of the development department, procurator of GRONBACH, k.s. Michalovce He commented on all the points: I agree. 2. Ing. Miroslav Jurčišin, PhD., manager, MCAE Systems, s.r.o., organizational component, Dubnica nad Váhom a) I agree with the comments Graduates of the bachelor's degree program - Computer support for engineering production - could benefit from completing the course - Fundamentals of programming (for example in Python or C) during their studies. This knowledge could then be evaluated in various software – for example, when evaluating measurements, when creating macros and scripts. It could also be beneficial to include a subject devoted to automation in production. b) I agree c) I agree d) I agree e) I agree Spatial and material equipment is at a high level. f) I agree g) I agree The study program meets sector-specific expectations and gives undergraduate students a strong foundation to expand their knowledge in subsequent engineering studies. 3. Ing. Ladislav Kandráč, PhD., Quality Leader, Garrett Motion Slovakia, s.r.o. Záborské a) I agree Within the Study Program Computer Support of Engineering Production, the structure and content of the Study corresponds to the outcomes and goals of the education, the foundations are laid that deepen from year to year, and the student knows how to go into detail in the given production engineering and technological issues. b) I agree with the comments I recommend introducing a foreign language as compulsory (English, German), because it is the biggest weakness of students in the framework of bachelor's studies, where often students work as interns, trainees. c) I agree with the comments I agree that students of the given field apply on the labor market, but it is necessary to focus on practice and transfer the given direction to study fields and programs. It is necessary to examine and analyze the needs of the practice and revise the curriculum. d) I agree e) I agree with the comments Within the bachelor's study, innovation is needed (excel VBA - advanced Minitab programming methods, statistics in practice) also to motivate students to stay in the given field and for Ing. the study. f) I agree g) I agree I definitely recommend the study program Computer support of engineering production, I graduated from the given program myself. I highlight the acquired knowledge from engineering technology, which I still use today. I recommend analyzing the needs for practice in the automotive industry, as this industry is highly developed in the Košice and Prešov regions and many successful graduates work in it, I can confirm this myself. I recommend introducing the Minitab program (eg the Design of Experiment tool) as an effective tool for manufacturing processes. 4. Ing. Dušan Manduľák, PhD., company manager, 1. PN, s.r.o. Prešov a) I agree Students have the opportunity to choose appropriate educational trajectories through PV subjects. b) I agree with the comments The profile of a graduate of ŠP PPSV in the first degree of study corresponds to the requirements placed on graduates with the given profile. I would consider it highly beneficial if the time span of professional practice in engineering companies and more practical teaching were increased. c) I agree Graduates of SP are successfully employed in practice. However, most of them continue in II. degree of study. d) I agree In my opinion, the staffing of the SP is satisfactory. The persons responsible for SP are erudite and competent. The teachers providing profile subjects in the study program Computer support of engineering production in the 1st degree of higher education are highly qualified experts and significantly contribute to the achievement of the set goals and outcomes of education. e) I agree Spatial, material and technical equipment of ŠP is at a very good level. Persons responsible for SP are trying to build and innovate laboratories and provide hardware and software for specialized classrooms. They cooperate with companies where students solve final theses, complete internships, part-time jobs and work experience. f) I agree g) I agree In my opinion, SP fulfills the expectations of practice and the labor market. Graduates have the necessary skills and knowledge.

List and characteristics of the study programme classrooms
The professional laboratories and classrooms of the department provide space not only for the implementation of scientific research activities of the department's staff, but also for the professional training of students, especially in profile subjects. The laboratories are equipped with modern measuring systems and devices and are constantly being expanded with new devices, stands, devices and supporting measuring means. Computer classrooms are equipped with powerful computers with regularly updated software focused on numerical calculations, FEA simulations, workshop NC programming and CAM CNC programming of production on production machines, CAD modeling, creation of technological procedures, etc. The audio-visual technique necessary for presentation purposes is standard. Students can also use the laboratories and classrooms outside the teaching process, e.g. within the framework of solving student projects, final theses or training. In addition, students have the option of remotely connecting to school computers. A complete list of the department's laboratories and classrooms, including their focus and technical equipment, is available on the department's website: https://www.sjf.tuke.sk/ktmappv/sk/studium/ucebne-katedry/20-frontpage/381-vm1-pocitacova-ucebna-cad-cam-cae https://www.sjf.tuke.sk/ktmappv/sk/studium/ucebne-katedry/20-frontpage/382-vm2-pocitacova-ucebna-cad-cam-cae https://www.sjf.tuke.sk/ktmappv/sk/studium/ucebne-katedry/20-frontpage/386-ucebna-programovania-vyroby-na-cnc-obrabacich-strojoch https://www.sjf.tuke.sk/ktmappv/sk/studium/ucebne-katedry/20-frontpage/385-s12-ucebna https://www.sjf.tuke.sk/ktmappv/sk/studium/ucebne-katedry/20-frontpage/383-s1-u
