Betlémská,
the school of the capital city of Prague

The graduates of the Mechanical Engineering specialisation after completing their compulsory practice and the appropriate time of incorporation are prepared to perform techno-economic professions and highly qualified working occupations especially in engineering, but also in other sectors of the economy. They can work in design and technology department as well as in operation.

For these reasons the graduates must have the profile of the necessary general education, but at the same time they must be sufficiently adaptable in the related branches. They must be able to think logically and apply the acquired theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to solve specific problems, to work both independently and in a team, to be interested in their consistent self- education and be concerned about the new achievements in their field of study.
