Dean of the Faculty: Dr.János KÖVESI Vice-Dean responsible for English Programs: Prof. Dr. Dietmar MEYER Short History: 1782: Insitutum Geometricum Hydrotechnicum founded for the education of engineers on the field of land survey, river control and road construction. 1860: Royal Joseph Polytechnic, Hungarian as language of instruction (after Latin). 1901: Royal Joseph University: Doctoral degree. 1949: Technical University of Budapest with five engineering faculties. 1984 Instruction offered in English as well as Hungarian. 1987: Faculty of Natural and Social Sciences established. 1987: International Education Center established. 1991: Undergraduate Programs introduced in French and German. 1997: Open and Distance Learning Center established. 1998: Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences and Faculty of Natural Sciences established.2000: The name of the university changed to Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Several Nobel Price recipients have been associated with the Budapest University of Technology and Economics: Dennis Gábor (Physics), George Hevessy (Chemistry), Eugene Wigner (Physics), György Oláh (Chemistry) and János Harsányi (Economics). Further notable personalities have also studied or taught at the University: Edward Teller, nuclear physicist, Leo Szilárd known on his work on nuclear chain reactions, Marcell Breuer architect, Theodore Kármán aerodynamic scientist, Ernő Rubik, inventor of the famous cube, Donát Bánki, co-inventor of the carburetor, Károly Cipernowszky, one of the inventors of the transformer, Dénes Mihály, one of the inventors of television. The first part of the present campus along the Danube was built between 1892 and 1898, this building ensemble has been part of the World Heritage since 1987 based on UNESCO declaration. Further parts of the campus were built after the I. and II. World War including academic buildings, nuclear training reactor, student hostels and cafeterias. The new section of the campus is under construction with the new building of informatics, in a joint form with the University of Science, with other new academic buildings and Sport facilities. The Central Library of the University houses 450.000 books and 120,000 volumes of professional journals. At the same time the Library has a strong technical reference section with free access to materials and the ALEPH integrated system, reading and research rooms and on-line access to international data bases. The University has an extensive computer network, organised, co-ordinated and developed through the Center for Information Systems, with access to international networks, like EARN, INTERNET, BITNET and FDDI. Besides the university wide network and electronic mail, computing services include the DEC Support Center, computer supported library services, computer supported information services (GOPHER), X 500 directory services and access to several kinds of micro, mini and mainframe computers, such as PCs, Macintoshes. VAX-es, (also with ALPHA), SUN Sparc Server 2000, Silicon Graphics Challenger, CONVEX 210 and the IBM mainframe. Many SUN, VAX and other IBM workstations are also networked in several locations at the university. Research at the University as a long standing tradition is highly encouraged and occurs on all levels from the B.Sc through to the doctoral level. The research is both individual and co-operative, scientific and industrial, national and international. The Budapest University of Technology and Economics has several well-established research relationship with Western European universities. At the same time the university fosters an extensive series of long established relationships with various branches of industry. Basic research projects are supported by the National Scientific Research Fund. The students are encouraged to participate in scientific research activities, that will prepare them to do independent work as engineers after graduation. Project laboratory courses are part of a Faculty's curriculum, requiring students to do individual design work, usually by the second year or as the first year, if the student has performed exceptionally well. The University has entered into agreement of co-operation with about 80 universities, in Europe, USA and other oversea countries. Some of these ventures are research oriented while others involve the exchange of faculty students. The University is member of the US-based International Student Exchange Program, having opportunities for studying overseas between US universities and those having membership in ISEP. The University also operates direct students exchange network and welcomes students year by year from the University of Technology (Sydney), Colorado State University, the University of New Hampshire (USA), Chongju University (South Korea), Leeuwarden Polytechnic (Netherlands), Technical Universities of Denmark, Delft, Helsinki, Norway, Vienna and the University of Karslruhe. The Tempus program of the European Union has been playing an important role in strengthening and in building up relationships through the Joint European Projects. Hungary has recently joined the Socrates program, in the frame of this program the University will have an increased opportunity for student and staff mobility. The International Students' Union was formed in 1990 to create an international family, providing environment where students are encouraged to pursue their academic work and also participate in social and recreational activities. The Club has also sought the right to represent its members and other students before the university's administration and in matters that affect them as students of the university. Presentations during the Christmas season are particularly well received, with the traditional cultural performances by student groups highlighting the event. |
