Universitatea Politechnica - Facultatea de Inginerie Mecanica Si Mecatronica, Bucureşti

The Faculty of Mechanics was a division of the Faculty of Electro-mechanics founded in 1921. Some of the outstanding professors who have carried out their activity over the years are: Gheorghe Manea, Dorin Pavel, Gogu Constantinescu, C. Ionescu Bujor, George Baranescu, Traian Demian, Alexandru Selesteanu, Constantin Arama. Students in Mechanics and Mechatronics are trained to function as both engineers and managers or businessmen due to a rich educational curriculum. Students are first acquainted with the use of computers and modern software design (CATIA, ProEngineer, FLUENT, MATLAB, MATHCAD) necessary to design and simulate mechanical systems functioning (engines, central and local heating boilers, air conditioning installations, robots, optical components and computer parts, process equipment, thermal and hydraulic turbo-machines, antipollution equipment and mechatronics) meant to ensure professional insertion onto the labor market and skills development in the field of industrial management. Due to high quality education, including special courses on professional communication, presentation and legislation, most of graduates of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mechatronics manage to land a job in the shortest time after graduation, and some of them (almost 10%) benefit from employment contracts while still students. Hence, the employment requests issued by companies operating in this field of activity are sometimes even higher than the number of students graduating each year.
