Welcome to the Website of the Department of Basic Technical Studies!
The Department of Basic Technical Studies is responsible for the subjects of „Basics of natural sciences” module of the
Engineering Training Programs of the Faculty. Our department gives courses in Mathematics, Statistics, Quantitative
Methods, Descriptive geometry, Engineering Physics, Engineering Informatics, Geoinformatics.
Similarly to the variety of topics taught by the department staff, our research activity is fairly diversified.
Our main research projects are connected to the research programs of the Doctoral School of Mathematics and
Computer Science, the Doctoral School of Informatics, and the Doctoral School of Earth Sciences of the University of
Debrecen.
The conference on “Problem-based Learning in Engineering Education” is yearly organized in October by the department
to discuss the actual questions of Engineering Education. The topics are related to the application of new teaching methods,
evaluation and improvement of the teaching process, development of curriculums, and integration of technical problems
into the program of the basic subjects.
