The survey measuring the informatics skills of the entering students at Budapest Tech, Bánki Donát Faculty of Mechanical and Safety Engineering

I asked the students to fill out a web based Informatics Test on the first week of the semester. This test was supposed to show the level of their computer knowledge which can be the basic in higher education. The results show the students do not get all the cognition that is specified in the National Ground Curriculum, for instance they have obtrusive lacks in the field of programming, database management, which should be compensated in higher education without relying on previous studies. According to the comparison of the three majors of the faculty it becomes obvious there is no correlation between the informatics skills and the applied major.
