Mechatronics Section
The Section of Mechatronics performs scientific research in the following fields:
Mechanical Vehicles and Military Techniques Section
Section of Mechanical Vehicles and Military Techniques in its present form has been operating since 2020 and is part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, including the Institute of Mechanics and Machine Design. The head of the section is Associate Professor Grzegorz Ronowski. The beginnings of the Section date back to 1945. During 76 years of its research and teaching activities, the team underwent many reorganization.
Machine Design and Medical Engineering Section
The traditions of the Section of Machine Design and Medical Engineering Section date back to 1945 and are associated with the establishment of the Gdańsk University of Technology and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
Hydraulics and Pneumatics Section
In the Section of Hydraulics and Pneumatics, research and development works are carried out on positive displacement pumps, hydraulic motors and valves with the use of mineral oil and water as working liquids.
The Head of the of Hydraulics and Pneumatics Section is Paweł Śliwiński, DSc PhD.
Applied Mechanics and Biomechanics Section
A Section of Applied Mechanics and Biomechanics was established in January 2021.
Modification of the bone cement in order to gain antibacterial protection. Marcin Wekwejt PhD, ME, defended his PhD thesis with honours
In medicine, they are used to fill in the osseous defects, they are used to fix implants in endoprosthesis of hip or knee. They can also support the treatment of osteoporosis, be used in stabilization of fractures or as temporary implants to locally fight an infection. These are the application of bone cements, which Marcin Wekwejt, PhD, ME is interested in. An employee of the Institute of Machine Technology and Materials, Marcin Wekwejt defended with honours his PhD thesis on the modification of bone cements to obtain a long-lasting antibacterial protection.
Several years long research indicate that the developed bone cement can significantly eliminate problems associated with applying currently used cements in clinical practice. In future, after completing additional clinical research, it could be used as a bioactive replacement of conventional cements based on bioinert poly (metacrylane of methyl).

Professor Dariusz Mikielewicz became a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences
Professor Dariusz Mikielewicz, PhD, DSc, ME from the Institue of Energy at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, vice-rector for organization and development became a corresponding member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He will represent Section IV of Technical Sciences.
– This is a kind of crowning of the scientific plans, appreciation by a body of the most renowned representatives of Polish science - says professor Mikielewicz – My tasks remain constant: active operation in the scientific field, raising a new generation of PhD's and professors, paying attention to the highest quality of the conducted scientific research, in order for them to be on the highest world level. These should be groundbreaking subjects that will contribute to worldwide changes, but this is yet another dream of mine.
Remote classes at Gdańsk University of Technology in the days 3-7 January 2022.
On 3-7 January 2022, all classes for students at Gdańsk University of Technology will be held remotely.
By the decision of the authorities of all Gdańsk Tech faculties and in agreement with the university authorities, classes in the first week of the New Year, i.e. in the days 3-7 January, will be conducted remotely. The change is introduced temporarily, due to the increasing number of infections and worsening epidemic situation in the country, as well as the threat of an even more dynamic development of the pandemic during the pre-holiday migrations.
Vikings' ship designed with modern methods. Alan Durajewski's engineering thesis
Can you use CAD softwar to design a 3D model of a ship's hull constructed in compliance with Scandinavian ship-building methods? This question was answered by Alan Durajewski, ME, a graduate of ocean technology course who defended his ME thesis entitled "Design of a construction of a ship with Scandinavian methods, on teh basis of Gokstad find".
Gokstad find is a ship from the second half of the 9th century, found in 1879 in Norway during the dig of a burial mound. It can be seen in the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. It is an example of a snekkja, the smallest of the longships used in warfare.

SimLE sience club received a money award to continue the development of Stardust project!
5000 zlotys for further development of Stardust project was awarded to SimLE science club during BioTech Daily conference. Members of SimLE took second place in "Enthusiasts" category.
The contestants had to deliver a 3-minute presentation to a panel of experts. Members of SimLE science club presented two projects: Silverhand and Stardust.
Silverhand project – a concept of a hand prosthesis with high possibilities of customization and low production costs using modern technologies of 3D printing.
