Building Engineering

Prospects of graduates

The graduates obtain adequate scientific education and basic knowledge of social and economic disciplines; understand and acquire relevant knowledge, concepts, principles and theories of architectural constructions and the theory of environmental engineering and other engineering disciplines based on their ecological, material, static, physical, energetic, technological, economic and managerial nature. They are able to utilise this knowledge in their professional activities, understand the implications and consequences of alternative solutions and master their optimisation. They are able to use reasonable theories, criteria, practices and tools for specifying, analysing and solving technical and technological as well as economic and managerial problems of complex preparation and construction of buildings with understanding and accepting of their character. The graduates obtain technical and architectural education and are able to creatively cooperate with all partners of the project and specialists of all professions of project documentation of civil engineering constructions. They can creatively apply knowledge of natural sciences, humanities and engineering disciplines in the process of designing, analysing and assessing buildings. Their skills allow them to participate in the design, engineering, implementation and supervision of less demanding civil engineering construction. They are qualified to apply as designers in design and manufacturing companies, as technologists, economists - fiscalits and construction managers in implementation companies, technicians in government departments and territorial units and investor bodies, in the preparation and the implementation phases of civil engineering constructions, in construction in the field of environmental protection, in operation management and maintenance of buildings and the like. The content and structure of the study programme corresponds with the structure and scope of the subjects required by the Slovak Chamber of Civil Engineers as core subjects in the first degree of university studies, so that after successful completion of the second degree studies the graduate is able to qualify for the profession of an authorized civil engineer in the category I3 - engineer for the statics of constructions, namely for buildings, engineering structures and geotechnics.
