The history of the department

The history of Automotive Engineering Training

2021.01.19.
As for the initial period of automotive engineering training, unfortunately we don’t know much about the times before World War II. Between the two world wars, the subject Cars was announced as a non-compulsory subject, starting in the 1940s under the title Gas Machines and Cars. Over the last fifty years, however, the content and form of education and training have changed a lot.

History of the former Department of Automobiles

2021.01.18.
The ancestor of the department was the IV-th Department of Mechanical Engineering. According to the 1945/46 yearbook searched by a colleague László Muzsnay, the department then had only five lecturers. An article by Artúr Balogh was published in the October 1948 issue of today's Car, the forerunner of today's Autósélet, in which he demanded the start of the "car engineer" training and the establishment of the car department. The result of this was published a year later in the December 1949 issue of The Car.

History of the former Department of Vehicle Manufacturing and Repairing

2021.01.16.
The legal predecessor of the department was established in the summer of 1953 in Szolnok at the Technical University of Transport, under the name Department of Railway Mechanical Engineering I-III. When naming it, it was already mentioned that during the later development it would be divided into two parts, a department dealing with technological problems and this one with traction tasks. The Department of Technology began its teaching work under very harsh conditions. It had no notes, no laboratory demonstration tools. In order to make the practical lectures more colorful, the teaching assistants took the photos and slides needed for the practical education themselves.
