DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT, INDUSTRIAL AND DIGITAL ENGINEERING OF THE FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OF TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY (ÚMPaDI SjF TU) IN KOSICE MANUFACTURES A MULTIPLE APPLICABLE RESPIRATOR WITH 3D PRINTING
Research team of prof. Ing. Petra TREBUŇA, PhD. composed of: Ing. Juraj KOVÁČ, PhD., Ing. Marek KLIMENT, PhD., Ing. Jozef TROJAN and Ing. Marek MIZERÁK used ABS material for 3D printing for printing. The respirator uses a multilayer cotton insert, which can also be enriched with silver fibers, resp. o other antibacterial ingredients. The fabric can be cleaned and reused. In the manufacture of a respirator, we use a filter that is able to catch the virus in both directions, both when inhaling and when exhaling. Work is currently underway to improve the design and functional properties of the respirator. It is possible to expect that the institute, based on frequently asked questions about the supply from the ranks of health professionals and medical staff, will start distributing this device free of charge, of course. The shape of the respirator is not the work of ÚMPaDI SjF TUKE. A 3D model was used, which is freely available in the database for users of 3D printers, and the public shares their ideas in it.
At the same time, for the third week in a row, ÚMPaDI SjF TUKE has been continuously printing protective shields from the public call https://pomoznemocnici.sk/.
As at the end of the interview added prof. Peter TREBUŇA current global problems related to the spread of the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus forced his institute to reconsider scientific research activities in the field of deployment of reverse engineering and additive technologies, purchased from the institute's own resources, precisely to help medical facilities and ensure occupational health and the subsequent regional distribution of these devices.
On April 13 and 14, 2023, the ŠVOČ department round was held, which was attended by students completing the 3rd B.Sc. and 2 Ing. years of the Industrial Engineering study program both in full-time and in combined form of study.
Final theses were presented, which our students are working on and in a few weeks they will defend them at the state final exams at our department.
We believe that the advice of the committee will be taken to heart by future bachelors and engineers and will help them to successfully defend their defense.

Hello,
we would like to inform you about the relaunch of the YESlab educational program, which follows on from a very successful pilot year. The program is intended for full-time students of all levels of study (bachelor, engineering, master and doctoral) at TUKE, UPJŠ and UVLF universities who have an original idea and want to develop it into a startup.
The program participants will be guided by experts in practice during several phases - from defining the problem (Design Thinking, Jobs To Be Done), through idea validation, creating MVP (product designs, UX, software prototypes), to testing with users, building a brand and working with intellectual property.
The program will run from March 1 to the end of April and will include a kick-off, a series of workshops, mentoring, networking and a final presentation of the projects in front of a professional jury. Selected teams can receive financial support of up to EUR 5,000 after meeting the set milestones.
Registration of student teams is open until 17. 2. 2026.
All information about the program is available on the website: https://ickk.sk/yeslab/

Dear students,
we pay attention to changes in some grades and in the teaching process. The changes will take effect from the following week 21.03.2022. Please check your schedule in Maise.
Since classes on Mondays were canceled several times in the current semester, taking into account public holidays, the following public holidays also falling on Monday, May 1 and 8, 2023 will be replaced in the schedule as follows:
- 01.05.2023 Monday (Labor Day) the lesson will be replaced on Wednesday 03.05.2023,
- 08.05.2023 Monday (Day of Victory over Fascism) the lesson will be replaced on Tuesday 09.05.2023,
this means that during these days, classes will take place according to the Monday schedule.
