It is with deep regret that we inform you of the death of our colleague, Leszek Kudła, Prof.Tit., PhD, BEng who was associated with the Faculty of Mechatronics at the Warsaw University of Technology for over 50 years. A scientist who, as an associate professor at the Institute of Metrology and Biomedical Engineering, became an educator of many generations of excellent specialists. Privately, he was an indispensable and irreplaceable husband, father and grandfather.

The projects conducted by our researchers are truly diverse. In one of the latest issues of the Capital Police Magazine, you can read about a 3D scanner developed at our department, which allows skilled specialists to return to the scene of a trial virtually at any time. This state-of-the-art solution helps to reconstruct how a homicide may have occurred. You can read more about modern 3D scanners in Daniel Niezdrop's article 'Bloodstains. Traces That Speak', where Robert Sitnik, Prof.Tit, PhD, BEng talks about a research project that created a professional crime scene scanner. 

The Polish Section of the IEEE, GovTech Poland and the 4 Science Institute, acting jointly in order to strengthen cooperation between academia and business, support higher education and promote the best graduates of technical schools, would like to announce that in the Engineer 4 Science 2022 Competition, the jury has selected the best thesis: Development of algorithm for cloud of point's segmentation based on orientation similarity by Michał Kossakowski, BEng, prepared under the supervision of Prof. Robert Sitnik, Prof.Tit, PhD, BEng.

It is much smaller than its hospital counterparts, yet in terms of quality it can boldly compete with them. It is a miniature ECG machine, created by a scientist from the Warsaw University of Technology and two doctors.

2 955 000 PLN - this is exactly the amount of money earmarked for PW under the programme of the Ministry of Education and Science. The condition for receiving funding was a positive opinion from the President of the Central Office of Weights and Measures and confirmed cooperation in the implementation of scientific research and development work. As a result of the competition, it was awarded to four research and development projects from two of the faculties of Warsaw University of Technology: Electronics and Information Technology and Mechatronics.

The PW Education Support Department CZIiTT would like to remind you about the ongoing recruitment of teams until 31 July 2022 to participate in the coaching process (team coaching for members of the selected team and individual coaching for the team leader/manager) carried out as part of Task 25 "Modern University Management" of the  "NERW 2 PW. Science - Education - Development - Cooperation' project.

The Education Support Department of the Warsaw University of Technology CZIiTT reminds you of the call for applications in the competition for the granting of funding for postgraduate studies, training or specialised courses for employees of the Warsaw University of Technology, which runs until 31 July 2022. This is the last chance to benefit from this kind of support under Task 25 "Modern university management" of the "NERW 2 PW. Science-Education-Development-Cooperation' project.

For up-to-date information about structural, international and national funds, please visit the COP website: www.cop.pw.edu.pl. We have also posted there a Form for browsing for project funding sources, prepared for people with an initial proposal for a project but lacking in funding.

Congratulations to the winners on gaining the indexes of our Faculty!

The 2021/2022 academic year has been difficult due to the pandemic and then the war in Ukraine. It will probably go down in history as one of the most difficult ones for Polish universities. Today we can proudly say that they were up to the task. Therefore: Vivat Academia, vivant professores!

On behalf of the Organisational Committee of the 9th Technological Contest Droniada we would like to invite all interested parties to observe the contest. The project is a part of the UN World Urban Forum, scheduled to take place in Poland for the first time in history. As a result, the finale of Droniada will take the form of a show under the slogan of  “City of Three Dimensions” on 29 June. The show will feature flying drones, enabling easier acceptance of these devices by society for multiple purposes, from environmental protection by means of AI-supported changes detection to drone transport.

This year the jury of the Engineer 4 Science 2022 contest has honoured three representatives of our Faculty: Michał Kossakowski, BEng, Jakub Gawron, BEng and Michał Krzynówek, BEng. We would like to congratulate all winners and their promoters and invite everyone to the awards gala in October 2022!
