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.
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.
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.
A Section of Applied Mechanics and Biomechanics was established in January 2021.
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).
– 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.
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.

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.
