On the first day of engineers of the future linked knowledge, vision and excellence

Yesterday, Ljubljana’s Swiss in Tivoli Park became a meeting point for young talents, engineering excellence and technical visions. For the first time, the Chamber of Engineering of Slovenia organized the day of engineers of the future – an event aimed at recognizing, connecting and promoting young engineers who are already co -creating tomorrow. The event was linked by final year students, mentors and co -mentors of master’s theses, professors, deans and faculties representatives, the leadership of the Chamber and its members, and the general professional public. In the presence of an expert committee and numerous guests, the highest awards were given to young engineering.

The expert committee presented the recognition of dr. Darko Bega for the best master’s thesis in the fields of construction, environmental, transport and economic engineering and recognition by dr. Peter Novak for the best master’s thesis in the field of mechanical engineering and energy for 2024. The event was also enriched by the year’s engineer of the year Ljupka roteva.

Acknowledgment dr. Darko Bega for the best master’s thesis in the field of construction, environmental, transport and economic engineering, awarded by the home section of construction engineers, has received Neja Fazarinc. In its final work, Fazarinčeva developed a model for the planning of sustainable building stock in earthquake areas in the light of the adoption of earthquake resistance in Slovenia by 2050, and evaluated the earthquake risk both from the point of view of society and the environment.

Both winners have shown engineering excellence, technical creativity and a mature look at the challenges of the modern world through their work.

Mag. Črtomir RemecPresident of the Slovenian Chamber of Engineering, stressed: “We have not only talked about the future today, we have experienced it today. The first day of engineers of the future is more than merely the awards ceremony, it is a symbolic and substantive recognition to young people who, through their knowledge, dedication and vision, are already co -creating the future of our profession and society. With this meeting, we have established a place where generations meet, where knowledge flows forward and where young people receive not only a voice but also recognition. Their works confirm that Slovenia has tremendous engineering potential, and as a chamber we are proud that we can support and direct it. This is our tribute to the future, built on the foundations of excellence. « 

The day of engineers of the future highlighted the importance of professional mentoring, engineering promotion, and the importance of encouraging young people to think and sustainable activities.
