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.
On November 13, 2025, the ceremonial awarding of the Science and Technology Award 2025 took place in the Winter Riding Hall of Bratislava Castle. One of the laureates was our colleague from the Department of Automotive Production, Assoc. Prof. Michal FABIAN, PhD. He received the award in the category Science Popularizer. The award was granted to him for his “exceptional lifelong contribution to the popularization of technical and engineering sciences, especially in the field of computer-aided design and development in mechanical engineering”.
We warmly congratulate our colleague and all the awardees.
