Detailed information in Serbian



ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT

Mechanical engineering in Serbia began within the framework of the Faculty of Engineering of the Superior School (Velika [kola), with the introduction of the course Science of Machines (1873). The Machine Engineering Department of the Faculty of Engineering was founded in 1897, and twenty-five years later its name was changed into the Mechanical and Electronical Engineering Department. The Department was active under that name until 1946, when mechanical engineering studies were separated from those of electrical engineering. Two years later, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was founded as part of the Superior School of Engineering. After the School was abolished in 1954, this Faculty entered the structure of the University of Belgrade.

The Faculty moved into a new building in the 1960/61 academic year - its present-day location.

Since its foundation, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade has turned out 14,075 graduate mechanical engineers, 877 holders of the M.S., and 433 of the Ph.D. degree in the field of mechanical sciences.

The Faculty has provided eleven full members of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.



INTERNAL ORGANIZATION

Educational, scientific and expert activities at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering are carried out within the framework of 25 chairs: the Chair of Production Engineering, the Chair of Materials Handling and Machine Design, the Chair of Agricultural Mechanical Engineering, the Chair of Aeronautical Engineering, the Chair of Mechanics, the Chair of Theory of Mechanisms and Machines, the Chair of Thermal Engineering; the Chair of Thermal Power Engineering, the Chair of Processing Engineering, the Chair of Thermomechanics, the Chair of Hydroenergetics, the Chair of Mathematics, the Chair of Automatic Control, the Chair of Physics and Electrical Engineering, the Chair of Fluid Mechanics, the Chair of Naval Architecture, the Chair of Engines, the Chair of Motor Vehicles, the Chair of Railway Mechanical Engineering, the Chair of General Machine Design, the Chair of Material Technology, the Chair of Theory of Structures, the Chair of Military Mechanical Engineering, and the Chair of Industrial Engineering.



TEACHING STAFF

Teaching and research activities at this Faculty are carried out by 49 full professors, 37 associate professors, 50 assistant professors, 79 assistants and 54 junior assistants.



UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES

Tthe UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES enrollment capacity of the Faculty is about 750 first-year students.

Studies last five academic years, i.e., ten semesters.

In the course of the first and second years, instruction is carried out according to a uniform curriculum and beginning with the third year, it branches into the following majors: production engineering, materials handling, internal combustion engines, machine design and mechanization, thermal power engineering, thermal engineering, hydroenergetics, naval architecture, automatic control, processing engineering, aeronautics, military engineering, railway mechanical engineering, motor vehicles, agricultural mechanical engineering and industrial engineering.

Laboratory

In addition to the above majors the Faculty organizes studies in the Aeronautics Center in @arkovo. The first two years of these studies are effected according to a uniform curriculum, and beginning with the third year they branch into two sections: aeronautics, and air force armaments.

After having completed studies at this Faculty, graduates acquire the title of graduate mechanical engineer, with the indication of the major field taken.



POSTGRADUATE STUDIES

The Faculty organizes M.S. studies in the following areas: engineering mechanics, thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, combusion, engineering materials, welding, fundamentals of machine design, theory of machines and mechanisms, effectiveness of mechanical systems, tribology, production engineering, technology and cybernetics, internal combustion engines and compressors, pumps and fans, automatic control, motor vehicles and trailers, aeronautical engineering, mechanical handling, thermoenergetics, hydroenergetics, agriculture and forestry machines, civil engineering and mining machines, processing engineering, facilities layout and materials handling, railway mechanical engineering, naval architecture, military mechanical engineering, bioengineering, robotics, protection of the environment, food processing mechanical engineering, supporting structures of machines, industrial engineering in the field of mechanical engineering.

The following specialized courses are offered in the current academic year: Production Engineering, Technology and Cybernetics, Mechanical Handling and Machine Design, Agricultural Mechanical Engineering, Engines, Motor Vehicles, Aeronautical Engineering, Factury Layout Designing, Internal Transportation and Warehousing, Informatics Biotechnology, Mechanism Design, Tribology, General Mechanical Consultations, Quality Management, Railway Mechanical Engineering, Automatic Control, Industrial Engineering, Combustion, Flexibile Production Technologies and Robotics, Information Biotechnologies, Welding.

A Ph.D. degree may be obtained at this Faculty in Engineering Sciences in the field of mechanical engineering.



PUBLICATIONS

The Faculty publishes the periodical "Presentations" twice a year (in Serbian).



LIBRARY

The Faculty library consists of 70,000 units. Students use a large reading room (108 seats), while a smaller one is primarily reserved for the TEACHING STAFF of the Faculty.



STUDENT LIFE

Within the Mechanical Engineering Student Union, the students have their Social Club and Sports Society comprised of volleyball, lesser soccer, handball, table tennis and karate sections.
