Abstract The Department of Fluid and Heat Engineering, established as the Department of Machine Operation in 1952, hosts research and teaching in engines for vehicles. In the first two decades after the foundation of the department, besides engines in vehicles, steam engines still played an important role as they were used in locomotives. At that time the department owned several dynamometers and besides teaching about engines, the department carried out research and development for the national production of engines. After a decade of transition, in the second half of the 1990s the production of internal combustion engines started to flourish again. This was manifested first in teaching, but from 2010 in research as well. The replacement of the old laboratory equipment with modern measuring instruments and engines and the construction of a full departmental laboratory for engine diagnostics contributed to this. All of these factors explain why the Department of Fluid and Heat Engineering is in charge of teaching internal combustion engines in the new (starting from 2016) Vehicle Engineering B.Sc programme.
