December 2022
Over thirty years in business, Termovent has recognised how important cooperation with the University is. We therefore continually strengthen these ties and generously share our knowledge and experience with students, contributing to their education and helping them enter professional life as quickly as possible.
In December 2022 we were pleased to host nearly 60 students from the University of Belgrade's technical faculties: the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, the School of Electrical Engineering and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering. The events took place at the Termovent Academy, located in the Science Technology Park Belgrade.
Visits by Mechanical Engineering students have become a regular practice, organised with Dr Milan Ristanović, full professor at the Department of Automatic Control. For students of Electrical Engineering and Technology and Metallurgy, this was the first opportunity to visit the Termovent Academy training centre – and we hope there will be many more. The visits were supported by Dr Mirjana Kijevčanin, full professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, and Dr Ivona Radović, full professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering, Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, as well as Dr Jovan Trifunović, associate professor at the Department of Power Converters and Drives, School of Electrical Engineering.
The aim of the visits was to introduce our company to young academics and to deliver a technical lecture on clean room air conditioning, air parameters, AHU types and AHU selection software. There were also lectures on AHU automatic control, BMS and EMS systems in clean room environments, and the AHU control panel. The Termovent Academy training centre houses a real clean room installation (classes D, B and A) with its HVAC system and an air handling unit with control panel.
That is the greatest benefit of the visit – students could see how a real HVAC and BMS/EMS system for a pharmaceutical clean room works and gain a broader picture of their profession in practice.
Termovent also briefly presented some of its open positions and invited students interested in working with us to get in touch. We are delighted by the positive response and look forward to getting to know them better.
We believe students particularly benefited from the fact that the lecturers were Termovent employees who graduated from the very faculties the students came from. They gave a first-hand picture of working in the profession after graduation and the knowledge gained on the job.
Our colleagues Nada Savić and Aleksandra Bogovac took part in the event with the Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy; Predrag Nikolić, Nikola Perić, Uroš Birčanin and Filip Ćetković met the Mechanical Engineering students; and Đurđica Mutavdžić and Milivoje Kremić represented Termovent at the event with Electrical Engineering students. We sincerely thank the professors who placed their trust in Termovent and supported these events for their students.
Feedback after the visits showed that students were pleased with the event and what they had learned. Some of their comments:
Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy
“I'd honestly praise every part of your presentation. The talks were effective and concrete. Aleksandra and Nada spoke absolutely clearly, in detail and understandably, and held my attention largely because of the ENTHUSIASM with which they speak. It made me wish people would see me that happy with my career in the future. I loved it, and I believe my classmates did too – thank you for your hospitality :)”
School of Electrical Engineering
“A very useful presentation with plenty of interesting, educational and inspiring information. Full marks to the lecturers, who were enthusiastic, happy to answer all our questions and kept our attention to the very end. I hope we'll be informed about your company's future events and promotions. Thank you for the invitation and the get-together.”
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
“Full praise for organising and delivering the lectures. Your talks and the whole day were literally my answer to how I imagined and hoped my master's studies would be – and bear in mind that for me you absolutely surpassed most, if not all, of the guest lectures we've had at the faculty.”
“Special praise for the company's lecturers – everything was explained clearly and concretely. Very interesting content, an innovative lecture and attention to every student. I'd recommend holding visits and lectures like this regularly, and I think it would be just as interesting at Termovent's other locations.”
The Termovent Academy will continue to strengthen its cooperation with the University of Belgrade, and cooperation with other universities is planned. We thank all participants once again, wish the students every success in their studies and look forward to meeting again.
