Students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics of TUKE have gained access to state-of-the-art technologies for education and research thanks to two new electric vehicles provided by KIA Slovakia.
The KIA EV4 electric vehicles were handed over by the Rector of TUKE, Peter Mésároš, to the Dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Jozef Živčák, and to the Head of the Department of Power Engineering at Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics TUKE, Roman Cimbala.

We thank KIA Slovakia for their support.

On November 26, 2025, an expert workshop titled ŠKODA Auto, dedicated to the vehicle design process, was held under the auspices of the Department of Automotive Production at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Košice.

The lectures provided a detailed overview of the individual stages of automobile development – from the initial vision and pre-development, through surface data processing and engine design, to aerodynamic analyses and strength calculations.

A representative of the Human Resources department also informed students about opportunities for summer internships, part-time jobs, as well as available topics for diploma theses. The student project Disk, intended for first-year students of the second level of study, was also introduced.

We would like to thank the experts from the ŠKODA Auto Development Center team, who were willing to travel more than 700 km to share their experience in automotive development.
