The aim of our cooperation is to familiarize young engineers coming out of the university with the new technologies and machines used in industry.” He noted that industrial robots have been donated to the university in the past, and that the current donation is for machining equipment (a CNC lathe, a CNC milling machine and a robotic arm). He stressed that by strengthening practical knowledge, students become more marketable and companies have better-prepared employees. All players benefit from further developing a practical orientation. At the end of his speech, he drew attention to the benefits of the university, which can be seen in the number of applications from secondary school students and in a further increase in popularity.
Prof. Dr. György Györök, Dean of the Alba Regia Faculty of Technology at Óbuda University, in his welcome speech, highlighted the words pragmatism and adaptivity in the philosophy of the faculty: “we only deal with topics that make practical sense, including practice-oriented training, and we can react very quickly to the development needs we receive.” He highlighted the importance of these donations, emphasizing that they enable students to gain exposure to various technologies during their university studies. He noted that the aim is to help students realise how theoretical knowledge can help them in practice. “By installing the machining unit offered by the company at the university, we are incorporating a small part of Hanon Systems Hungary Kft. into the university’s infrastructure, which is a guarantee that we are training the kind of engineers that industry needs” – stressed the head of the higher education institution. He concluded his speech by thanking the community of Hanon Systems Hungary Kft. for their support.
