GENERAL INFORMATION: Faculty of Machine Technology prepares specialists in the field of
engineering and technology with the spirit of the forefather of technical education in Bulgaria. From the first
academic year in 1945/1946 up to now it is prepared thousands engineers, who found career as in the
industry in our country as in many other countries in all over the world. Faculty of Machine Technology is
always been a leading national centre in the field of scientific research and applied activities.
STRUCTURE : Faculty of Machine Technology included:
Department of MATERIALS SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
The department leads education courses on "Material Science and Technology for the students of FA, ЕE,
FPEPM, FEET, MT, ME, FM and FT. Department lecturer hold courses in the Faculty of German
Engineering Education and Industrial Management and in the Faculty of English Language Department of
Engineering.
The department has a scientific research laboratory of Electro physical technologies for heat treatment of
metals and research laboratory Mechanical testing of Metals.
Department of TECHNOLOGY OF MASHINE BUILDING AND METAL CUTTING MACHINES
Department lecturers teach the students from 9 faculties of Technical University (MF, МE, FT, FPEPW, FM,
FEET, FCSC, FGEEIM, branches in Plovdiv and Sliven and the College of Mechanical Engineering at TU
Sofia in Bulgarian, German and French. The Department holds 32 courses in the bachelor's degree and 16
courses in the Master's degree.
The department has two laboratories:
- Scientific practical lab of Technological preparation of metal cutting machines with CNC;
- Scientific research lab of production equipment and tools testing.
Department of THEORY OF MECHANISMS AND MACHINES
