BME Faculty of Mechanical Engineering

🎓Researcher of our faculty mentored the Hungarian medalist of ISEF
💡Laura Ivánka, a student at the British International School in Budapest, won a medal at the ISEF (International Science and Engineering Fair), often referred to as the world science championship for high school students. ISEF is closely watched by major American universities, from MIT to Stanford.

Laura Ivánka prepared for the competition with the professional support of Josh Davidson, an assistant professor in the Department of Fluid Mechanics at BME.

🙌Congratulations to Laura and Josh!

At the EELISA TDK conference held in Madrid lastThursday, GPK student Csenge Dremák, won first place in the ’Chemical and Bioengineering II.’ section, while high school student Szabolcs Kövesi received a special award in the ’Smart Production’ section. Both of them were supervised by Dániel Gere.

Congratulations!

Researchers of the Department of Energy Engineering at BME Faculty of Mechanical Engineering contributed, among others, to the development of BDN Powertrain’s hydrogen-diesel engine and new platform, which was presented at BME.

The university’s test environment was established through the project ’National Laboratory for Renewable Energy’, (RRF-2.3.1-21-2022-00009), which is being implemented under the Széchenyi Terv Plusz program.

☀️🔥💥⚡️Undergraduate Energy Engineering students from the Technische Hochschule Ulm, accompanied by two professors, visited the Department of Building Services and Process Engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). With associate professor Dr. Balázs Bokor, the guests toured the department’s Macskásy Comfort and Air Conditioning Laboratory and the Stokes Laboratory.

“Don’t hesitate to take the initiative, whether you come to BME or another university: student research groups are supported everywhere,” – advised Gábor Hornyánszky, associate professor and chair of the University’s Talent Support and Career Guidance Council, to the students of the STEM Academy at the closing event of the talent development program.

BME first announced the program for the 2024–2025 academic year with a grant of 12.75 million forints from the National Talent Program, targeting 11th-grade high school students interested in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). The 20 students selected from 114 applicants received a monthly scholarship and mentoring support while working on a scientific project.

“We are proud of the academy students; it was a great pleasure to work with them,” said Szabolcs Berezvai, assistant professor at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the main organizer and coordinator of the STEM Academy, and vice-chair of the BME Talent Support and Career Guidance Council. He added that what they gained through the STEM Academy will certainly prove useful when they begin their university studies.

The latest edition of the EELISA European University campaign presents Professor Rita Kiss, chair of the Student Equal Opportunities Committee at BME, the "engineer shaping equal opportunities in higher education."
