Let's open our hearts and help - a special collection box can be found in the Mechatronics Dean's Office.

Keep collecting!

Dear Friends

The war in Ukraine directly affects the members of our community of the Faculty of Mechatronics, too. Therefore, we decided to conduct a collect of funds that will be used to purchase medical equipment kits. This goal has been agreed on with our co-workers. If you’d like to donate, please visit the Dean’s Office by Tuesday, 8 March at the latest. Let us support our friends in this difficult time.

It is with pleasure that we inform you that the Main Library has extended the licence of the  iThenticate anti-plagiarism software for another year. The programme enables us to verify a document (mainly in English) for plagiarism prior to its publication by means of comparing it with open sources available online and with databases indexed by iThenticate. We do not recommend verifying texts in Polish due to insufficient reference base.

PW IT Centre has provided the PW employees with MS OFfice 365 software and 36-months subscription. As an added benefit, all PW students can use the software as well.

We are proud of a student from our Faculty - Mike Ryan and his colleague from the University of Edinburgh, Aleksander Trakul, who have represented us at at the Expo trade fair show in Dubai.
