Overview
About the Program
The predictable requirement based on the developing tendency of the technical background in agriculture and food industry is that the production and application of the machines and tools should be environmental friendly, material and energy economical. On the other hand, it is important to organize the existing equipment to a logistical system and include ecological operation and recycling in the strategy of the research. In the strategy of the research some promoted new topics should be emphasized which serve the same up to-date production technologies while having less contact with the living world.
The global increase of agricultural production has to be realized in an ecological balance with a decreased volume of applied chemicals and energies. For sustainable development, it has a basic interest to decrease the polluting materials that are loaded in the environment and economize with resources.
The Mechanical Engineering program of the Szent István University is divided into two main orientations: Basics of Agricultural Machine Engineering orientation and Energetics of Agriculture and Environmental Technology orientation.
Programme Structure
Some typical research topics of these orientations are given below:
- Mechanizations of animal husbandry and plant growing
- Vehicle and tractor techniques, the off road running theory
- Mechanics of structural and agricultural materials
- Energetic and physics of buildings
- Energy and mass transport processes
- Research of the energy sources in agriculture and in forestry
