Activities of the department

The personnel potential, equipment and scientific research programs of the Department of Mechanical Engineering represent a significant support for the development of the domestic industry in the field of mechanical engineering. The department provides highly qualified experts for the needs of the mechanical industry and realizes scientific and research projects that are supported by the Republic's Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation, the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia, the Fund for Innovation Activity as well as the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The department maintains and expands international ties with other universities and participates in scientific meetings with the aim of improving the field of mechanical engineering, thus influencing the formation of modern research directions.

According to the latest curriculum and program, accredited in 2021, which is aligned with the programs of world universities, the Department of Mechanical Engineering unifies and implements the teaching process in basic and master academic studies in the field of Mechanical Engineering with the aim of training young engineers.

Scientific activity is realized within the framework of national projects. In addition, in the economy and industry, fundamental, applied and developmental research is carried out through the preparation of graduate, master's and doctoral theses, which contributes to the overall development of society. The scientific and research work of the members of the department takes place with the financial support of the Ministry of Science, Technological Development and Innovation (formerly the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development), the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia and the Fund for Innovation Activities and the Provincial Secretariat for Higher Education of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. The department achieved the recognition of its key results, expressed by citations in prestigious international scientific journals with an impact factor.

The general plans of the department are the development of the existing educational profile and its alignment with the needs of the labor market through the accreditation process, the development of the members of the department in the scientific and research field through research projects, international conferences and publications of scientific and research works.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering fosters cooperation with the economy both through scientific research and development activities and through the implementation of professional practice. Companies where students are provided with paid professional practice are Continental, Novi Sad and LeBelier Kikinda. The department has a successful long-term cooperation with companies from Zrenjanin: Šinvoz, Wood planet, Vrška-Press, Dijamant, Logic, Hidra, Evrobrod, Neimar, Mecaplast, Relja Junior, LMV, Termos, EING, Nemanja Mor, Petkus, VecoWelding, NovaTech 023 , Victorija Starch, Geze as well as outside the territory of the city: Termoproces, Belgrade, Zoppas, Kikinda and Metalcluster, Temerin.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering has cooperated with prominent world and European universities: University Politehnica, Timisoara, Faculty of engineering, Hunedoara, Romania; University «St. Kliment Ohridski, Technical Faculty, Bitola, Macedonia; "Aurel Vlaicu" University of Arad, Faculty of engineering, Arad, Romania, University of East Sarajevo, Faculty of Mechanical engineering East Sarajevo, Republic of Srpska, B&H, University of Giresun, Faculty of engineering, Giresun, Turkey.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering organizes the International Conference on Industrial Engineering And Environmental Protection, which has been successfully held since 2011. at TF "Mihajlo Pupin" in Zrenjanin.

Internationalization and mobility represent a significant contribution to the improvement of the scientific competence of teachers and associates, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering encourages the mobility of teachers, associates and students through Erasmus and Cepus exchanges.
