The spring semester at Obuda University’s Faculty of Rejtő has started well in the FOSZK, BSc and MSc degree programmes. Students returned to the classrooms to acquire new knowledge and further develop their skills.

The Faculty offers students a wide range of technical disciplines, with an outstanding teaching staff.

In the spring semester, students can choose from a variety of courses that meet the latest market needs. The K-MOOC course provides students with practical knowledge in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, data science and cybersecurity. The BSc and MSc courses provide deeper professional knowledge in different branches of engineering and computer science.

The University is committed to student success. This semester, the OU will continue to offer a range of services to students, including academic advising, scholarship programmes and career guidance.

Dr. habil. László Koltai, Dean of Rejtő Faculty, said „We are confident that students will enjoy the courses and successfully complete the semester requirements. The faculty remains committed to high quality teaching and research and we will do our utmost to ensure that our students become the successful engineers of the future.“

Twenty second- and third-year environmental engineering students from the Sándor Rejtő Faculty of Light Industry and Environmental Engineering at Obuda University participated in an intensive blended program (BIP) organized by the Erasmus program at the University of Bielsko-Biała (Poland). The program aimed to present modern methods of biomass utilization and biofuel production, as well as highlight the important role played by circular economy practices. During the first week of the two-week program, students attended online lectures, while in the second week, they had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the practical aspects of the subject in the laboratories of the University of Bielsko-Biała and in industrial facilities in Poland. During the program, students visited a biofuel plant, where they learned about the practical aspects of biodiesel production, its raw materials, and by-products. At a regional wastewater treatment plant, experts from the university and the facility demonstrated the practice of municipal wastewater treatment and the possibilities of using municipal wastewater sludge in biogas production. The program also included a visit to a deep coal mine transformed into a museum, where students could observe the landscape-shaping effects of extracting fossil energy carriers. In the practical week of the program, students had the opportunity to interact with both the host institution’s students and students from other participating universities in the Czech Republic, Estonia, and Spain. This allowed our students to practice not only the practical application of technical English but also everyday communication skills.

Professor Manuela Zambianchi from the University of Faenza, recently held a series of lectures on positive psychology and the role of psychology in product design at the Rejtő Faculty of Obuda University in Budapest, Hungary. The lectures were part of a new course that the university is offering on the topic.
Positive psychology is a branch of psychology that focuses on the study of human flourishing and well-being. It is based on the belief that people have the capacity to live happy and fulfilling lives, and that psychology can play a role in helping them to do so.In his lectures, Professor Zambianchi discussed the various ways in which positive psychology can be applied to product design. He explained that by understanding the needs and motivations of users, designers can create products that are more likely to promote happiness and well-being.
For example, Professor Manuela Zambianchi discussed how the design of social media platforms can impact people’s emotional well-being. He explained that platforms that are designed to promote social connection and support are more likely to have a positive impact on users’ mental health.
She also discussed the importance of considering the user experience when designing products. He explained that products that are easy to use and enjoyable to interact with are more likely to promote positive emotions and feelings.
The lectures were well-received by students and faculty alike. Many students commented on how the lectures had helped them to understand the importance of psychology in product design. They also said that the lectures had given them new ideas for how to design products that are more likely to promote happiness and well-being.
The Italian visiting professors lectures are a valuable contribution to the growing field of positive psychology and product design. His insights can help designers to create products that have a positive impact on people’s lives.
Overall, psychology can play a vital role in helping designers to create products that are both successful and beneficial to users.
