Welcome

Dear visitors,

allow me to briefly introduce you the Faculty of Production Technology and Management, J. E. Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem.

The faculty was accredited in June 2006 and established by the rector on September 1st, 2006. It has since become a successful continuation of The Institute of Production Technology and Management established in 1998. The first bachelor degree program began in 1994 through the Department of Technical Education, still part of the Faculty of Education UJEP. Considerable effort was contributed in order to develop the first technical faculty in the Ústí region. From a historical point of view, the region has been at the forefront of industrial production thus creating the need for a technical faculty at a university level.

The role of the faculty is to prepare graduates for the industrial production sector, mainly in the Ústí region, and to service the production technology and management industry. For that purpose, the Science and Technology Park of the faculty was established. Its rise and development is related to the increasing amount of work dedicated to industrial production, mostly concerned with engineering.

The faculty is still developing, thanks to the active and systematic work of academic staff and technical personnel. Since the establishment of the institute and consequently the existence of the faculty, there has been significant development in laboratories and the quality of their equipment, considerable growth in the quality of education, as well as the development of research and cooperation with industrial producers. Despite the number of activities which have been successful there are also a range of initiatives which have been problematic for a long period of time, namely the ability to provide optimal space for staff and students. This is due to the fact the faculty is spread over several locations around the town. On the other hand, the faculty has experienced success in the form of a nationwide journal Manufacturing Technology, edited since 1996. Next, it is also responsible for the establishment of a congress in Precision Machining ICPM, the foundation of a faculty industrial board, accreditation of several study programs, including doctoral degree and finally successful evaluation by The Accreditation Commission of the MEYS CR in 2008.

The intention of the faculty management and all faculty staff (academic and operational workers) is to create a pleasant environment and optimal study conditions while improving the quality of all faculty doing and the preparedness of graduates.
