Objectives and Perspectives

The aim of the Mechanical Engineering BSc program is to train professionals who possess

- a well-grounded and broad knowledge that graduates of this Faculty can apply immediately in their

work and also use as the basis for further studies on master level

- an ethical philosophy of engineering and a respect for the human element respectively

Our students acquire practical knowledge in technology, in system engineering, in designing software i.e.

CAD, CAE, CAM and FEM.

The evaluation system of the participants’ performance

The checking system of knowledge is made up from the seminar marks and the exam marks of

the – partly connected, partly independent – subjects of the curriculum, the making and defending

of the chosen graduate thesis and the successful final examination.

The diploma work

The diploma work is the solution of a mechanical engineering task which the student should

solve relying on previous studies and secondary literature under the guidance of a tutor in one

semester. The diploma work must prove that the author can apply the acquired theoretical

knowledge. The student can choose any topic for the diploma work suggested by the faculty or in

occasional cases individual topics acknowledged by the head of the department. The topics of the

diploma work should be given in completely uniform manner and based on the system of

requirements set up by the head of the institute and the head of the department responsible for the

training. The diploma works are written with the close collaboration of the candidate and the

tutor.

The formal requirements of the diploma work are detailed in the “manual for writing diploma

works” which is handed out to every candidate when they decide upon their topic. The diploma

works must be handed in to the department responsible minimum ten days before the beginning

of the final exam period. The thesis paper is evaluated by an external graduate professional who

gives a grade as well as a short written comment on it. The head of the department makes a

proposal for the final evaluation of the diploma work based on the comments. The diploma work

receives a grade from the final exam committee.

The final examination

The conditions for taking the final examination

- 210 credit points as put down in the curriculum

Code: MFITE31G03-EN

Lectures+Practice: 2+0 hours

ECTS Credit Points: 3

Prerequisites: None

Topics: The course is intended to introduce students to the study of ethics, the branch of philosophy that aims to

understand what actions are right and wrong, what states of affairs are good and bad, and what traits of

personality are desirable and undesirable. Our central question will be “What should I (morally) do?”

Similarly, although it is impossible to separate discussion of ethical theory from its application to

particular moral problems, this course will emphasize the former. The most well-developed and carefully

formulated ethical theory that addresses our central question is utilitarianism: what I should do is to make

the world a better place. In the second half we review of the growth and development of the profession,

engineering ethics, obligations to employers and peers, limits of professional responsibility, codes of

ethics and enforcement. Traditional function of engineering societies. Ethical engineers and the low, the

public interest. Case studies.

55. Automotive Constructions (Optional Subject I.)

Code: MFACO31X02-EN

Lectures+Practice: 2+0 hours

ECTS Credit Points: 2

Prerequisites: None

Topics: This series of lectures is based on the fundamental machine constructions taught in machine elements

course. It reviews the build-up of a road vehicle and the construction of the main units such as drive train

in a vehicle with rear-wheel and front-wheel drive and its parts (transmission, transaxle, clutch,

differential), the suspension and steering systems, the braking system (disc brake, drum brake, brake

booster). After that it discusses the operation principle of the internal combustion engines (four stroke-

power cycle of gasoline engine and diesel engine), the fuel management, the cooling and lubrication

system and exhaust system. After discussing the main structural members the course reviews the basic

electrical system, the starting and ignition system and the power supply respectively.

(former Voyager) since 1992. The Library lays special emphasis on collecting modern

information carriers beside the traditional printed documents. Either by being a member

of national consortiums or by local subscription the library ensures the citizens of the

University to be able to search in the bibliographic and full-text databases of the most

important scientific periodicals of each discipline (EBSCO, WEB of Science, Elsevier

periodicals, Biological Abstract, PsycINFO, Jstor etc.) It collects processes and services

the specialized literature of the taught and researched fields of the sciences. It stores

about 40,000 specialized books, textbooks and notes, 140 Hungarian and 25 foreign

specialized journals, thousands of standards, extra materials for teaching and planning,

product catalogues and brochures.
