Science and research at the faculty

The scientific - research activity of the faculty, in accordance with its strategic intention, is based primarily on the solution of grant projects and projects for specific requirements of technical and production practice. The results of the solution of these activities, documented by their direct implementation in practice, form the potential for follow-up activities of the faculty, which include in particular publishing activity, activity in the field of inventions and implementation of scientific research results into practice:

• intensification of technical capability of heavy load-bearing structures
• risk management in complex logical systems
• plasma waste disposal
• hydrogen technologies (storage of hydrogen in metal hydride)
• modernization and automation of gas boilers
• reconstruction and innovation of engineering products - separate applicationsnew
• technologies of production and operational processes - separate applications
• new applications and use of CA technology and software products - independent activities
• preparation for innovation in engineering companies and technology
• rehabilitation system for paraplegic patients
• handling systems for handling immobile individuals
• test and test stands, test methods for drive systems and modules
• new constructions and materials for sports cars - research and development
• research and development of tailor-made implants using additive technologies
• non-traditional forms of propulsion principles - tire
• research in the field of internal combustion engines to minimize fuel consumption (Eco Shell)

The Faculty supports publishing activities with its own edition of scientific and professional literature. The edition is governed by the operating guidelines approved at the meeting of the Scientific Board of the FME TU in Košice.

The awarded grant projects are divided into domestic, which include: KEGA, VEGA, APVV, AV and state projects. A significant part of the projects are solutions with practice. Foreign projects include: FP6, MVTS, mobility projects. Scientific research activity is periodically checked and evaluated at the appropriate management levels of the faculty.

These include representation of faculty staff in international committees for organizing conferences and congresses, membership in international editorial boards, membership in international advisory bodies for coordination and preparation of projects, and membership in international expert commissions for strategy in the field of scientific research activities and practice.
