THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE “MECHANICAL ENGINEERING IN THE 21st CENTURY”

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering in Niš was founded on May 18, 1960. In 1971, the Department of Mechanical Engineering grew into the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Niš. In the moment of its inception, the Faculty had 19 lecturers and 16 associates working full time, among which there were 3 PhDs and 4 MScs. 11 departments were then formed.
