On 6 January, the Department of Automotive Technologies at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) held its first state examination session of the year. As in previous semesters, the final examinations were conducted with the active involvement of industry professionals: representatives of Morgan Hungary Ltd., T\u00dcV Rheinland, and Jaguar Land Rover Hungary participated in the examination board. Based on their feedback, the students demonstrated clear progress not only in technical competence, but also in presentation skills and engineering mindset.<\/strong><\/p>\n

More confident presentations and tangible engineering outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most frequently highlighted aspects of the examinations was the noticeable improvement in the students\u2019 presentation skills. <\/span>J\u00e1nos Sur\u00e1nyi<\/span><\/strong>, representing Morgan Hungary Ltd., emphasized that the graduating students delivered convincing performances both professionally and communicatively.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is very positive to see how much more confident the students are when presenting their work. This has often been a missing skill among young engineers, and in industry it quickly becomes clear how critical strong presentation abilities are,\u201d he noted. He also stressed the importance of thesis projects that go beyond theory and result in real, implemented solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

From the company\u2019s perspective, topics related to <\/span>manufacturing, process development<\/span><\/strong>, and the design or development of production equipment were of particular interest, as these areas closely align with Morgan Hungary\u2019s core activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

A higher number of outstanding projects<\/strong><\/p>\n

S\u00e1ndor Geszti<\/span><\/strong> (T\u00dcV Rheinland Hungary), a regular member of the department\u2019s examination boards, also observed a clear step forward compared to previous years.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are always good and very good theses, but this time the number of truly outstanding projects was noticeably higher. The students presented concise summaries of their work with a level of confidence that surpasses what we have seen in recent years,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his view, this improvement is partly due to the teaching staff placing increasing emphasis on the importance of structured, audience-oriented presentations. Examination board members must form well-founded opinions within limited timeframes, often on complex technical topics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is not to get lost in details. Students need to clearly demonstrate why their work is relevant and valuable,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among his personal highlights were projects related to the university\u2019s Formula Student <\/strong><\/span>racing teams<\/span><\/strong>, where participants design, model, test, and continuously refine vehicle components to improve overall competitiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

High-quality work even at BSc level<\/strong><\/p>\n

Representing Jaguar Land Rover Hungary, <\/span>J\u00f3zsef P\u00e1zm\u00e1ny<\/span><\/strong>, head of one of the company\u2019s systems engineering areas, participated in the department\u2019s state examination for the second time. His overall impression was strongly positive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe met very well-prepared young engineers. It is clear that everyone invested significant effort into their thesis, resulting in serious, independent engineering work,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was particularly impressed by the <\/span>high quality of the projects at BSc level<\/span><\/strong>, noting that the depth and structure of many theses exceeded expectations. As advice to students, he emphasized the importance of understanding the broader context of their work.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen working on a project lasting several months, it is essential to know where you are starting from and how your piece fits into the bigger picture. Details matter, but so does the overall system you are contributing to,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n

Several students also caught Jaguar Land Rover Hungary\u2019s attention during the examinations. The company offers career opportunities through internship positions and subsequent <\/span>graduate engineer programmes<\/span><\/strong>, providing a pathway toward long-term professional development, including international experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Real-world assessment by industry professionals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflecting on the role of state examinations, <\/span>Dr. Zsolt Szalay<\/span><\/strong>, Head of the Department of Automotive Technologies and Chair of the Examination Board, highlighted the strategic importance of industry involvement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom both a departmental and university perspective, it is crucial that the first real assessment of our graduates takes place in front of industry professionals. These are the environments where our students will soon need to perform as engineers,\u201d he emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n

Accordingly, the examination board is composed exclusively of <\/span>relevant industry representatives<\/span><\/strong> from various fields. The department\u2019s role is primarily to moderate the process, while questioning, evaluation, and grading are driven by external experts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is important that the university does not evaluate its own output in isolation. Instead, our students receive feedback and assessment based on real industrial expectations,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

A meeting point between academia and industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

The January 6 state examination once again demonstrated that final examinations at the Department of Automotive Technologies represent far more than an academic milestone. They serve as a <\/span>genuine interface between academia and industry<\/span><\/strong>, offering students a first professional showcase and, in many cases, the opening step toward their engineering careers.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
