100 Years of the Faculty of Metals Engineering and Industrial Computer Science

By virtue of the Council of Ministers resolution of April 8, 1919, the Mining Academy was established as a single-faculty higher education institution. Two years later, on May 18, 1921, a committee was appointed to develop a programme for the Faculty of Metallurgy and the university authorities turned to the metallurgic industry in Poland for financial help to fund the nascent faculty.

On September 1, 1921, Antoni Rodziewicz-Bielewicz, BSc, received a nomination for a full professor of metallurgic mechanics. On September 18, 1921, he received the position of the first organiser and dean of the Faculty of Metallurgy. On April 3, 1922, the general assembly of professors decided to launch the Faculty of Metallurgy.

Currently, the faculty boasts 150 employees and educates students in six programmes of study: Education in Technology and Computer Science, Technical Computer Science, Heat Engineering, Computational Engineering, Metallurgy, and Advanced Engineering Materials.

The faculty academic staff conducts numerous scientific projects that are closely related to materials engineering and metallurgy. More and more often, they carry out interdisciplinary studies from the borderline of computer science, medicine, mathematics, and power engineering.
