As part of Career Orientation Days, a primary school class and a group of students who are already completing a technical school visited the Józsefváros campus of the Bánki Faculty last week. On both visits, our staff, students and lecturers welcomed the students and gave them a presentation on career choices, our training courses, the interesting features of the Bánki Faculty, and the opportunities offered by our workshops.
You can also meet us starting in November, when we will be holding several open days. Register and attend an event to learn more about the opportunities and benefits offered by Bánki!
Bánki Faculty’s Military Engineering MSc students attended the tactical exercise of the NKE HHK, where they were able to get to know up-to-date military equipment and the practical side of military operations firsthand. The experience gained in the field is a valuable addition to their engineering studies.
Within the framework of the lesson, the Military Engineering MSc students accompanied by the Dean of the Faculty, Dr. habil Tibor Farkas, participated in the tactical exercise of the Faculty of Military Science and Defence Officer Training (NKE HHK) of the National University of Public Service. During the program, students gained insight into the everyday life of tactical training, observed the execution of combat procedures and defense activities, and studied up close the use of military equipment — including combat vehicles, small arms, communications and electronic warfare equipment, and drones.
The experiences gained in the field are particularly valuable for military engineering students, as they provide an opportunity to learn about the technical, logistical, and operational aspects of military systems in a real environment. Practical experiences contribute to the development of engineering approaches and to the deepening of the application and interpretation of military technology developments.
The visit strengthens the professional cooperation between Obuda University and the NKE HHK, which supports both the development of the national defense and military industry knowledge base and practice-oriented engineering education.

The international IV. Festetics Concours d’Elegance vintage car and motorcycle beauty contest and exhibition was held in Keszthely between September 6-7, 2025. The special prize offered by the Bánki Faculty of Obuda University’s vintage vehicle restoration engineer training program was won by a 1934 Horch 500 Roadster. The vehicle is a real speciality with its 6.5 meters long, 8 cylinders and 3800 cm3 engine. The owner was also surprised that we chose his vehicle.
At the same time, the event also served as an excellent opportunity to promote our vintage vehicle restoration training program starting in the second semester – from February 2026; our current students presented a total of 5 of their vehicles at the program, to the great delight of the visitors.
On October 2, 2025, the faculty members of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Technology held their professional report on the Frangepán campus. During the presentations, which were highly attended, our colleagues presented their experiences gained at the 18th Haas Technical Educators Conference (HTEC) held in Belleville, USA, and provided an insight into the professional life of Southwestern Illinois College and the teaching and educational tasks, all in the form of an understandable and exciting report that was also interesting for the students present.
The goal of the HTEC conference was to connect teachers, industry partners, and educational professionals teaching CNC technology, while presenting the latest developments in the field of machining and manufacturing.
Following the detailed reports of Viktor Ráczi and István Burai, Dr. György Czifra presented the Institute’s plans for the transformation/renewal of our large machine workshop to the audience, highlighting the design tasks carried out by the student working group involved, as well as the use of the experiences gained in the United States in the design.
