Abstract
The University of Pecs (UP) is one of the biggest universities in Hungary where some 26,000 students study in 9 faculties. Our particular characteristic is that we have an Engineering Faculty where architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers and electrical engineers are trained and excellent professionals are available for planning in these trades, so the opportunity is given to work as a very complex planner. After the social changes in Hungary the great planning enterprises collapsed and many small companies sprang up. This means that the situation of the Engineering Faculty, as a complex planner became more valuable. We founded a firm, named Polytechnic Ltd. to help this process (the owner is the UP). On the other hand the Engineering Faculty is involved in the development (planning, project managing) of UP as well. We can utilize our planning and managing experiences in engineering education (practice) and we involve the engineering students in this contracting work as well.
