Management and production engineering
Management and Production Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of study launched in the academic year 1999/2000. Students of Management and Production Engineering acquire knowledge of technical, agricultural, forestry and economic sciences in the field of management and engineering of agricultural and forestry production.
The subject of studies in the field of Management and Production Engineering is production management in the field of agriculture, forestry and agri-food industry. Specialist knowledge is complemented by information in the field of management and economics. Students acquire managerial skills and learn how to solve problems in a specific area of production engineering: supervision of facilities and management systems, selection and training of personnel, cost, finance and capital management, business management.
Concept and goals of education in the field of study management and production engineering result directly from the the University’s strategy and strategic goals as well as the policy in the field of education quality at SGGW. According to the adopted development strategy, five strategic areas are distinguished: improvement of education, improvement of scientific research, cooperation and internationalization, development of knowledge transfer to the economy, as well as finance and administration. They are the determinants of the developed concept of education expressed in the program of studies in the field of study production management and engineering covering interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of engineering and technical sciences in the discipline of mechanical engineering as well as in the field of social sciences in the discipline of management and quality sciences.
Direction management and production engineering has an interdisciplinary character, which enables the education of specialists who can combine modern knowledge and engineering skills with knowledge and managerial skills. The study program covers mainly technical and engineering issues, as well as, to a lesser extent, economic issues. The main assumption of this course is the implementation of the study program so that the qualifications of graduates meet the current requirements of the economy as much as possible, in particular in sectors considered traditional in relation to research areas conducted at SGGW in Warsaw. The education relates to the popular in Western Europe major engineering management, whose graduates obtain the profession of a management engineer, and technical and economic faculties, which give the ability to perform the profession of both an engineer and an economist. This field of study is adapted, on the one hand, to the experience and education of academic teachers as well as to the scientific and research base, and, on the other hand, to the current needs of the labor market.
Study program in the field of management and production engineering it enables the acquisition of interdisciplinary knowledge adequate for this field of study, as well as creates conditions for the organization of learning through the implementation of individual and group projects, and shapes the ability to learn independently. The idea of the study program also assumes the acquisition of skills in the use of information and communication techniques appropriate to the implementation of tasks typical for engineering activities, and the acquisition of the ability to plan and conduct experiments, including measurements and computer simulations, along with the interpretation of the results obtained.

PROFESSIONAL PERSPECTIVES
Graduates of the faculty Management and production engineering they will have preparation for work in the field of production activities of enterprises and production support processes such as: planning, logistics, quality assurance, technological supervision and maintenance. The acquired competences will also allow free action in the field of designing production processes using knowledge about modern production technologies and effectively managing their course. A potential place of employment for graduates may be sectors considered traditional in relation to research areas conducted at SGGW in Warsaw.
1st DEGREE STUDIES
An important element of the education process in the field of management and production engineering is ensuring the ability to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions and requirements of the external environment and the professional environment. The combination of engineering and managerial skills gives great opportunities for employment and promotion in later work in various areas of the economy, and above all in production and service enterprises.
Graduates of the 1st degree studies in the field of study management and production engineering have managerial knowledge and skills in a selected field of production engineering as well as management and quality sciences. They demonstrate knowledge of a foreign language at the B2 level of the European System for the Description of Language Education of the Council of Europe and have the ability to use a specialist language in the field of education. They know and are able to use information technologies in the company’s operations.
The qualifications of a graduate of the first degree of engineering studies in management and production engineering include:
- substantive knowledge in the field of: appropriate engineering discipline, the basics of economic and managerial knowledge;
- skills in a given engineering field, in particular designing new and supervising existing production and operational processes used in modern agriculture, forestry, food processing companies and local energy;
- business management skills, including costs, finances and capital as well as tangible investments;
