“We live in a time when a rapid response to market demands is extremely important. Of course, product quality must not suffer. This can only be ensured with skilled and specialized personnel who keep up with the latest developments in areas crucial for the rapid and effective growth of our company. For this reason, we collaborate with research and development institutions, such as the College of Industrial Engineering, whose interdisciplinary approach makes this possible. We work with them on the development of die-casting technologies. In 2013, we planned to sign a long-term cooperation agreement for the development of a new generation of production tools for die casting.”

“As a working professional with daily obligations at both work and home, I wanted to advance my education and gain quality, practical knowledge, which led me to study at the College of Industrial Engineering — and I have no regrets. The education process is characterized by flexibility and excellent professional staff who guide you throughout your studies. As a student, I never felt like just another number. Lecturers and professors are more accessible and understanding of the industrial environment I encounter daily. Unlike other programs, where theoretical knowledge is often the only focus, here the faculty comes directly from industry, providing a solid foundation for linking theory to practice and offering practical solutions. During my studies, I gained valuable experience and knowledge that I now use successfully every day.”

“Studying at the College of Industrial Engineering has been one of the positive experiences in my life that I will never forget. As I near the end of my studies, I cannot believe how much theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as extracurricular skills, I gained in just three years. I must emphasize that the impact on my personal life was minimal. The accessibility and flexibility of the lecturers, as well as the efficiency of the administrative office, were outstanding. We applied the knowledge gained to real-life cases at work, often finding effective solutions together. Even before completing my studies, I acquired a great deal of knowledge and experience. If the opportunity arises, I would continue my education after graduation.”
