  • self-critically assess and responsibly design, plan, construct, manufacture and maintain products, machines and systems;
  • take into account professional excellence, social utility, ethical responsibility, a commitment to professional ethics and criteria for the environmental integrity of their creations;
  • plan, design and build products, machines, devices and complex installations in such a way that they will meet functional, design, quality, cost and environmental criteria, applying systemic concepts and principles of universality;
  • carry out an independent technical assessment on the basis of scientific analysis and synthesis;

(subject-specific competences)

  • design and construct mechanical elements, assemblies, devices, machines and installations;
  • use and develop computer-aided construction;
  • use and develop procedures and tools to model, optimise and simulate processes, machines, devices, manufacturing processes, products and manufacturing installations;
  • plan and develop machines, devices and systems for energy, process and environmental engineering;
  • devise, develop and use modern production technologies, automation of production and new production concepts;
  • manage information, material and energy flows in the planning, design, construction, building, assembly, disassembly and maintenance of products;
  • manage existing production processes and technologies, analyse, assess and evaluate them, and update them as necessary;
  • organise and manage the production process;
  • assure the appropriate quality of products by performing relevant quality measurements and checks;
  • ensure measures for the faultless operation, maintenance and environmental integrity of products throughout their life cycle;
  • demonstrate interdisciplinary understanding of activities in production systems;
  • continuously develop skills in the application of knowledge in a specific professional field;
  • use modern computer, information and communication technologies and systems in the professional field;
  • demonstrate familiarity with and understanding of the history of mechanical engineering and its disciplines.

Assesment and completion:

Students' knowledge is assessed by means of practical exercises and seminar papers, and also via products, projects, performances, services, etc. and by examinations. Examination performance is scored as follows: 10 (excellent); 9 (very good: above-average knowledge but with some mistakes); 8 (very good: solid results); 7 (good); 6 (adequate: knowledge satisfies minimum criteria); 5–1 (inadequate). In order to pass an examination, a candidate must achieve a grade between adequate (6) and excellent (10).

Progress:

In order to progress to the second year, students must pass first-year examinations totalling at least 45 ECTS credits.
If a student fails to meet all progression requirements, the studies committee of the relevant university member may approve enrolment in the second year at the student's request provided he or she has completed more than half of the first-year course units (more than 30 credits), was unable to complete the course units for justified reasons, as laid down in the Statute of the University of Maribor, and may be expected to complete the course units.
In order to progress to the third year, students must have passed all first-year examinations (60 credits) and second-year examinations totalling at least 40 credits.
