"Technical Progress in the development of new products and technologies is based on the evolution and creation of new and innovative materials as well as the processing technology. Directing this research work towards application is extremely important and needs engineers with an excellent knowledge of materials science, strength of materials as well as production engineering.
The aim of the study program of Materials Science is to supply GUC students with an important knowledge that makes them the most qualified in this field.
We are looking for interested students who can demonstrate their ability to succeed and to produce outstanding results".

About
Progress in the development of new products and technologies is based on the evolution and creation of new materials and innovative designs as well as the processing technologies using the most advanced techniques including computer controlled machines and robotics.
Directing the study program towards application is extremely important which produces engineers with excellent knowledge in materials engineering, production engineering as well as Mechatronics engineering.
The aim of the study program of Engineering and Materials Science is to supply GUC students with the knowledge, skills and tools that make them the most qualified engineers in their fields.
The study program of the Engineering and Materials Science faculty covers a markedly diverse range of disciplines such as design, modeling and simulation of materials and processes, finite element method and software, strength of materials, manufacturing processes, materials testing, as well as corrosion and wear. It also covers a wide variety of advanced manufacturing technologies as well as industrial automation, control systems and robotics.
