Amphitheater 150 of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering within Politehnica University Timişoara was filled on May 24, 2018 by teachers and former or current students of the TCM specialization, which celebrated the 60th anniversary of the UPT specialization.

Representatives of other universities with this specialization have come to convey congratulatory messages on the occasion of the anniversary, TCM graduates, many now in the leadership of multinational or national companies, teachers, former or current, have relayed memories of their years of study . It was remembered on this occasion that the TCM specialization at Politehnica University Timişoara, which has over 3,000 graduates, is the first in the country to set up the Mechatronics specialty, which created the first didactic robot and the first industrial robot.

The ever increasing interest in machine building of various businesses in the area has led to the creation of the Machine Building Technology (TCM) specialization within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering as a 5-year programme. Thus, in the academic year 1957-1958 was established the fourth year TCM, and the first series of TCM engineers completed the studies in 1959. Among the graduates of this first series were professor emeritus eng. Ioan Cartiş, Ph.D., Rector of Politehnica University Timişoara (1996-2004), who was present at the event, as well as prof. eng. Ioan Micsa, Ph.D. The first head of the department, founded in 1960, was professor emeritus eng. Gheorghe Savii, Ph.D., who was also dean of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (1967-1974).

TCM specialization has developed continuously, reaching a peak in the mid-1980s, when half of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, in all existing forms (engineers and sub-engineers, day and evening classes) were TCMs! After a period of regress, immediately after the 1989 Revolution, the specialization grew, and at the moment it fails to meet the demands of the labor market. Currently, many students are employed by large companies in the second or third years of study.

Moreover, the future of TCM specialization at Politehnica University Timişoara seems assured given that at the last national competition, the UPT students received almost all the awards.
