125 Years of Creating the Future
The history of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Brno University of Technology began exactly 125 years ago. Since its establishment in 1900, the faculty has become a key center for technical education and research. Generations of talented students and top scientists have shaped and continue to shape the future, not only of mechanical engineering but of the entire industrial world. Today, after 125 years of innovation, collaboration, and success, we proudly reflect on our past and move forward with determination to face the challenges of the future.
