The current energy crisis confirmed the views of the expert public that the world cannot rely only on fossil fuels and encouraged the leading industrial countries to accelerate the process of energy transition towards „sustainable energy sources“. It is all about ecologically clean energy, the production of which pollutes the environment the least, whose supplies are not limited, and which ensures energy independence for countries. In addition to solar, wind, geothermal and biomass energy, the most dominant renewable source in the world is certainly hydroenergy. In recent years, the issue of building small hydroelectric power plants (SHPPs) has been brought up again. However, this question has divided both the expert and the general public, not only regarding the impact of… опширније…

Studying at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade may include much more than just acquiring formal academic knowledge. The students who are eager to gain teamwork experience through the design and manufacturing of a formula car, a ship, an aircraft or a robot, to enter competitions with the best student teams from around the world or who are interested in biomedical engineering and the creation of products that increase the quality of human life and health, can now pursue their interests at the Student Excellence Centre, located in a modern equipped space of 300 square meters. опширније…

The Beoavia university team is a part of the “Students’ Technical Tournaments” association and was started in June 2018. The team deals with design, construction and manufacturing of radio-controlled aircraft in order to participate in various European and global competitions and to interact and exchange experiences with other universities as well as to widen the knowledge and skills. опширније…

The bionic arm that restores the sense of touch to the people with an amputated limb has transcended the realm of science fiction and the stories about cyborgs. Scientists have taken a step further in implementing knowledge in the neurophysiology of human touch. In the near future, we will also be able to achieve touch via a mobile phone or tablet. It is only a matter of days that robots will start interacting with their environment only via touch. We talked with Dr Calogero Maria Oddo from Sant Anna School of Advanced Studies (SSSA) in Pisa about the advance of the age of “artificial touch” and everything that it brings. Dr Oddo is one of the world leading researchers in… опширније…

Last year, the students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering returned with a gold medal from the Hydrocontest 2018, the international competition of naval architecture students, where they won the Mass Transport category race. Their conceptual design, blueprint, calculations, project design and the small remote-controlled cargo vessel they made on their own were the most innovative and with the best features. The vessel reached its destination in the shortest possible time. Thanks to this success, our student team was invited to Monaco for an even more inspiring competition, the Solar & Energy Boat Challenge, which demands building a larger man-operated vessel. Besides student teams, shipbuilding companies also participate in the event, and the competition is organized in three categories. опширније…

Is it posible to resist the challenge of working on the desing, construction and driving of a small racing car that vill compete in a world-wide competition called the Formula Student?   Faculty of Mechanical Engineering provided this opportunity to the students of the University of Belgrade by opening up their workshops and providing mentoring support to develop a student formula. Side by side with the university teams from around the world, the team of the University of Belgrade Road Arrow, has participated in the Formula Student Competition since 2010.   опширније…

In the midst of the campaign against global warming, switching to renewable energy sources is no longer a choice but a necessity. We talked to the Dutch academician, Dr Willibrordus Petrus Maria van Swaaij from the University of Twente about the biggest challenges in the field of green energy in the upcoming period and whether “zero emissions” are an achievable goal. Professor van Swaaij is a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAV), ACTI Netherlands Academy of Technology and Innovation and the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities. As a Professor of chemical engineering, he has managed numerous studies in the field of multiphase reactors, the development of new reactors and energy conversion technologies. Since the late… опширније…

Another success of the students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. Dušan Babić, Lazar Popović, Radovan Đurović, Đorđe Trampa and Nikola Popović, students of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade who work on the Aurora project, won the first place in the first round of the international student competition Airbus Sloshing Rocket 2019 for the conceptual design of the rocket with a tank which minimizes the sloshing effect. This design was declared the best among 50 competing teams from the whole world. This opened up the team’s way to Patras, Greece, where the second round of this competition will be held in July. In this round, the team’s technical solution will be assessed, i.e. the design, range and time… опширније…

The German Accreditation agency for study programmes in the field of technical sciences, informatics, natural sciences and mathematics (ASIIN) has extended its accreditation of the study programmes at the Bachelor and Master level to the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Belgrade until 2025.   The ASIIN accreditation serves as a confirmation of the international quality of studies at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Belgrade, which makes it the only officially internationally recognized faculty in Serbia for all its study programmes at the Bachelor and Master level, says Professor Miloš Nedeljković, the coordinator of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering for the process of ASIIN accreditation. This is a great recognition not only for the Faculty of Mechanical… опширније…

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Belgrade has accredited a new study programme at the level of Bachelor studies entitled Information Technologies in Mechanical Engineering. The first generation of students will be enrolled in the school year 2019/2020. A total of 60 first-year students will be enrolled in the first year, 20 of them financed from the state budget and 40 as the tuition-paying students. The study programme Information Technologies in Mechanical Engineering lasts for three years and carries 180 ECTS points. The study programme IT in Mechanical Engineering is a continuation of the decade-long keeping up with the trends of contemporary and own research of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and its implementation in high quality state-of-the-art… опширније…
