| Research |
– Research areas At the Department, research is conducted across a broad spectrum of areas related to the construction, design, and operation of machinery, tribology, industrial robotics, technical diagnostics, and machine dynamics. The work includes, among others, strength analyses of structural components, durability testing of machine assemblies, modeling and laboratory testing of tribological systems, design of machines and technological systems, robotic-supported geometric measurements, diagnostics of technical conditions using vibroacoustic and thermal methods, computer simulations of dynamic phenomena, as well as laboratory studies of rock cutting and material handling processes.
A detailed overview of the research areas is available at: |
– Projects At the Department, a wide range of research projects is carried out, funded by national research programmes and implemented in collaboration with industrial partners. These projects include the development of innovative drive system components, advanced mining and transport machinery, modern materials and surface engineering technologies, as well as solutions aimed at improving the efficiency, durability, and safety of engineering systems. The projects are financed mainly by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) and focus on applied research, prototype development, and verification of new technologies in operational conditions.
Detailed descriptions of all projects are available at: |
| Education |
The Department provides teaching and thesis specialisation pathways within the study programme Geoengineering and Mineral Resource Exploitation. The Department offers the following specialised pathway: – Engineering Machinery and Industrial Robotics – taught in Polish. This pathway covers topics related to the design, construction and operation of engineering machinery, industrial robotics, modern CAD/CAM/CAE design methods, technical diagnostics, as well as technologies used in mining and industrial engineering.
At present, the Department does not offer thesis specialisation pathways in English. |
