Faculty of Transportation Engineering
The Faculty of Transportation Engineering was established
in 1951 as an independent Faculty based in
the city of Szolnok. It dealt with different branches of
transportation and offered specializations in railway
engineering and transportation operations.
By 1956, it functioned as the University of
Civil and Transportation Engineering. After several
reorganizations, it merged with the Budapest
University of Technology and Economics in 1967.
The current organization of the Faculty was developed
in 1970, and the Faculty of Transportation
Engineering now offers degree programs with
concentrations in transportation and mechanical
engineering.
The transportation engineering program provides
the essential scientific foundations and the
most up-to-date technical knowledge available so
that engineers who graduate from this Faculty can
go on to design road, railway, waterway, air, industrial
and trade transportation systems. Graduates
of this Faculty will also be able to develop
and monitor these systems reliably and economically,
using the latest in management theory and
informatics.
Within the framework of education in transportation
engineering, students can make their choice
from the following specializations:
• railway transportation;
• road transportation;
• waterway transportation;
• air transportation;
• industrial and trade transportation.
The mechanical engineering concentration
aims to give students a thorough scientific foundation
for development and design work, production
control and the operation and maintenance of
mobile machines at an advanced level. Further
specializations are offered in vehicle engineering
and in mechanization engineering.
Vehicle engineering offers five areas of specialization:
• Road vehicles – cars, vans, lorries, and buses.
• Railway vehicles – locomotives, rail cars, and
carriages.
• Ships – inland waterway vessels and sea-going
ships.
• Aircraft – airliners, air freighters and helicopters.
• Manufacturing and repair of vehicles
Areas of specialization in mechanization engineering
focus on the following machines:
• Materials handling machines – cranes and
conveyors.
• Building machines – earth work machines and
concrete mixers.
The Faculty of Transportation Engineering
offers a four year B.Sc. program, a two year M.Sc.
program, and postgraduate courses that cover
certain subjects thoroughly and allow for the pursuit
of a Ph.D. degree.
