The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade and the conventional software company KISSsoft AG have successfully renewed their collaboration, enabling students to gain direct access to one of the leading software tools for transmission system and gearbox design – KISSsoft®. For educational purposes, KISSsoft AG has granted the faculty 40 five-year licenses for the use of this software. These licenses are primarily intended for students enrolled in the “Design in Mechanical Engineering” module, within the course “High-speed Machine Design”, but the software is also available to other interested students and faculty members for use in their respective courses. KISSsoft AG developed KISSsoft® as a comprehensive tool for the calculation of individual machine elements, as well as complex subassemblies and systems,… опширније…

Serbia holds strong potential for the development of the aerospace industry. This was clearly demonstrated by second-year Master’s students from the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Recently, they presented their final projects from the course “Aircraft Design” to a large audience. Through a range of innovative solutions – from agricultural aircraft and business jets to unmanned and sport aircraft – these young engineers proved they can play a key role in the modernisation of domestic aviation. During the winter semester, students worked in teams to develop various aircraft concepts, applying knowledge across all stages of the design process – from defining technical requirements, through aerodynamic and structural calculations, to engine selection and cost estimation. Each… опширније…
