The evaluation system of the participants’ performance
The checking system of knowledge is made up from the seminar marks and the exam marks of
the – partly connected, partly independent – subjects of the curriculum, the making and defending
of the chosen graduate thesis and the successful final examination.
The diploma work
The diploma work is the solution of a mechanical engineering task which the student should
solve relying on previous studies and secondary literature under the guidance of a tutor in one
semester. The diploma work must prove that the author can apply the acquired theoretical
knowledge. The student can choose any topic for the diploma work suggested by the faculty or in
occasional cases individual topics acknowledged by the head of the department. The topics of the
diploma work should be given in completely uniform manner and based on the system of
requirements set up by the head of the institute and the head of the department responsible for the
training. The diploma works are written with the close collaboration of the candidate and the
tutor.
The formal requirements of the diploma work are detailed in the “manual for writing diploma
works” which is handed out to every candidate when they decide upon their topic. The diploma
works must be handed in to the department responsible minimum ten days before the beginning
of the final exam period. The thesis paper is evaluated by an external graduate professional who
gives a grade as well as a short written comment on it. The head of the department makes a
proposal for the final evaluation of the diploma work based on the comments. The diploma work
receives a grade from the final exam committee.
The final examination

Code: MFITE31G03-EN
Lectures+Practice: 2+0 hours
ECTS Credit Points: 3
Prerequisites: None
Topics: The course is intended to introduce students to the study of ethics, the branch of philosophy that aims to
understand what actions are right and wrong, what states of affairs are good and bad, and what traits of
personality are desirable and undesirable. Our central question will be “What should I (morally) do?”
Similarly, although it is impossible to separate discussion of ethical theory from its application to
particular moral problems, this course will emphasize the former. The most well-developed and carefully
formulated ethical theory that addresses our central question is utilitarianism: what I should do is to make
the world a better place. In the second half we review of the growth and development of the profession,
engineering ethics, obligations to employers and peers, limits of professional responsibility, codes of
ethics and enforcement. Traditional function of engineering societies. Ethical engineers and the low, the
public interest. Case studies.

Code: MFACO31X02-EN
Lectures+Practice: 2+0 hours
ECTS Credit Points: 2
Prerequisites: None
Topics: This series of lectures is based on the fundamental machine constructions taught in machine elements
course. It reviews the build-up of a road vehicle and the construction of the main units such as drive train
in a vehicle with rear-wheel and front-wheel drive and its parts (transmission, transaxle, clutch,
differential), the suspension and steering systems, the braking system (disc brake, drum brake, brake
booster). After that it discusses the operation principle of the internal combustion engines (four stroke-
power cycle of gasoline engine and diesel engine), the fuel management, the cooling and lubrication
system and exhaust system. After discussing the main structural members the course reviews the basic
electrical system, the starting and ignition system and the power supply respectively.

University. The Library lays special emphasis on the extension of its electronic services.
Most units of the Library have worked with the integrated library system of Corvina
(former Voyager) since 1992. The Library lays special emphasis on collecting modern
information carriers beside the traditional printed documents. Either by being a member
of national consortiums or by local subscription the library ensures the citizens of the
University to be able to search in the bibliographic and full-text databases of the most
important scientific periodicals of each discipline (EBSCO, WEB of Science, Elsevier
periodicals, Biological Abstract, PsycINFO, Jstor etc.) It collects processes and services
the specialized literature of the taught and researched fields of the sciences. It stores
about 40,000 specialized books, textbooks and notes, 140 Hungarian and 25 foreign
specialized journals, thousands of standards, extra materials for teaching and planning,
product catalogues and brochures.
