University of Zagreb
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (UNIZAG FSB)

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FSB/FAMENA) is the oldest and the largest faculty in the field of mechanical engineering in Croatia with almost century-old tradition. It is the successor to the Royal Technical College founded in 1919. FSB has been one of the Croatian leading institutions in education, science and expertise in the fields of mechanical engineering and naval architecture, and for the last two decades in the field of aeronautical engineering too.

The study programmes and contents of courses make the curriculum of the Faculty comparable with the curricula of similar faculties of leading European universities, thus enabling the Faculty to be ranked highly among the leading technical faculties of the University of Zagreb and in Croatia.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, taught by highly qualified teachers from 14 departments and 41 chairs, practical knowledge is an important component of the education at the Faculty and it can be acquired both in 51 laboratories and through intensive collaboration with industry.

The staff, who collaborate with numerous academic institutions in Croatia and abroad and with the industry, have undoubtedly contributed to a high standing the Faculty has in the international academic community and in the industry. With the aim of maintaining this good reputation and of achieving the best possible results in teaching, research and professional activities the Faculty has adopted its Development Strategy 2014-2025 . The teaching, research and professional activities include our recent achievements in the:
