8 tures, water supplies for residential areas and industrial establishments, the technical–economic aspects of hygienic and public services (drainage, irrigation, sewage treatment and utilization), the design, construction and operation of hydraulic engineering structures and also environmental engineering. • Graduates from the Branch of Geoinformatical Engineering can spatially locate and map natural and artificial configurations, set out designed engineering structures, determine deformations of erected constructions, develop control point networks, perform astronomical and gravitational measurements and determine the Earth‘s geodynamical processes. Graduates in surveying engineering can design and manage economic solutions for geodesic problems at a high engineering level. They can also develop relevant technologies and perform significant scientific research. Erasmus Mundus Master Course: EURO-Aquae EURO-Aquae: Euro Hydro Informatics and Water Management. The Master Course is supported by the European Commission Directorate General for Education and Culture through the actions 1&2 of the Erasmus Mundus framework. The partner universities issue the M.Sc. (Master of Science) academic degree according to the local situation. The degree is recognized by all participating countries. The consortium tries to establish a joint european degree named “Master of Science in Hydro-Informatics & Water Management”. Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences General Information The Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences was established in 1998 in the framework of a restructuring project of BME. On one hand the University returned to its historical traditions: as one of the educational tasks of the former József Nádor University of Technical and Economic Studies was to provide high quality training for future economists. On the other hand for meeting the rapidly changing requirements of contemporary economy the scope of training at the University has been strengthened fundamentally by the introduction programs in Engineering Management as well as in Business Management. The total number of students of different graduate, postgraduate and distance learning forms of training launched by the Faculty is about 5000. Research is conducted in 3 doctorate (Ph.D.) schools. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the University, science and engineering subjects for future economists are taught by the staff of different engineering faculties as well as the subjects of the Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences’ are present in the educational programs of all other faculties. Parallel to the traditional five-year university training, in 2006 according to the Bologna model, the two-cycle system (for B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees) was introduced at the Faculty. The final year of graduation for students of the traditional five-year training is scheduled for 2010. The language of the above programs is Hungarian but both full time international and exchange students of the University have the possibility to study different subjects in business and economics in English. Hungarian and Central European Studies, Hungarian as a foreign language courses are also offered. Degree programs in English will start in 2007/ 2008 academic year. B.Sc. program in Business and Management will start in 2008/2009 academic year. From 2008 a full-time B.Sc. program in Business and Management in English is to be introduced. Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics The Faculty of Electrical Engineering founded in 1949 has been renowned for excellence in research and education throughout the years of changes in the scope of engineering. Over this period, the Faculty has earned a wide-spread international reputation for its high academic standards and scientific achievements. Spearheading the movement to establish a modern education system, it has offered a comprehensive English curriculum since 1992. Nearly the same time, the name of the Faculty changed to Faculty of Electri-
9 cal Engineering and Informatics in order to give recognition to the growing importance of computer science. The English education package includes a 3.5-year B.Sc., a 2-year M.Sc. and a 3-year Ph.D. program in the fields of electrical and software engineering. The undergraduate B.Sc. program aims at providing a comprehensive knowledge with sound theoretical foundations in two areas: (1) Electrical Engineering including more specific studies in electronics, computer engineering and power engineering; and (2) Software Engineering dedicated to the major domains of computer science. The major specializations in Electrical Engineering are computer networks, control and robotics and power engineering. Studies in Software Engineering include specialization in infocommunication and software technology. Each specialization contains three courses focusing on the field of interest followed by a laboratory course and a project laboratory. In order to pursue studies in a given specialization the number of students must exceed a certain threshold, otherwise the interested students are kindly directed to another specialization. The graduate M.Sc. program further advances the knowledge obtained in the undergraduate programs in the same two fields: (1) Electrical Engineering, thrusting in communication, computer, and control engineering; (2) Software Engineering dealing with system and software development. The post-graduate Ph.D. program is available in all domains offered in the M.Sc. program. Since research and development requires innovative engineering expertise, one of the major concerns of the Faculty is to endow students with high level mathematical skills in modelling complex engineering systems. This objective implies the use of system and algorithmic theory in addition to a thorough knowledge in physics. The search for optimal solutions in the highly complex architectures of electrical and software engineering necessitates not only engineering but economical considerations, as well. As a result, the scope of the program must include design, research and management expertise at the same time. Several strategies have been designed to help students develop high level skills in mathematics, physics, and computation. Besides theoretical knowledge they need to carry out design and development activities in the fields of communication, instrumentation and power industries to further perfect their practical skills. The curriculum also includes solving tasks in the fields of production and operation. Scientific groups are formed to encourage the students to do independent but supervised laboratory work. Project laboratory is one of the core parts of the studies which are dedicated to independent problem solving with the armory of modern work stations and SW packages. The expertise of handling these tools are inevitable in pursuing an engineering career. In order to strengthen the transfer of knowledge and know-how between the University and industry, the Faculty maintains close contact with well known multinational companies in the field of communication and computer industry. As a result, many industrial experts offer their experience and knowledge as part-time lecturers, project supervisors, members of examination committees. Faculty of Mechanical Engineering The Mechanical Engineering Program at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics began in 1863, and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering was established soon afterward, beginning official operations in the 1871/72 academic year. The Faculty is justly proud of its continuous and progressive 120-year history and now offers undergraduate and graduate programs in both Hungarian and English. Since the 1985/86 academic year, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering has offered a four-year undergraduate B.Sc. degree program in English. The two-year graduate program in English, leading to an M.Sc. degree in refrigeration and air conditioning or production engineering, was launched in September 1989. Another way to earn M.Sc. degree is to enrol into the Integrated Engineering Course, offered since 1996/97. The course includes essential subject areas of materials and software engineering, advanced mechanics, manufacturing,
