The graduate of the study program: Building Technology, Field of study: Civil Engineering will acquire: a systematic, comprehensive and complex set of knowledge in a specialized area, including knowledge and understanding of relationships to other parts of the field and to related fields. The graduate has an in-depth knowledge of natural science disciplines such as mathematics, chemistry and physics. He/she has an excellent knowledge of subjects related to the topic of the dissertation thesis and has an overview of the current state of topics of the dissertation thesis in the field of materials engineering, technology, physical problems of constructions and buildings, and construction management. He/she has professional language skills enabling him/her to acquire knowledge in the relevant area from relevant literary sources. He/she has a deep understanding of theories, sophisticated methods and procedures in science and research at a level corresponding to international standards in the given field of research. The graduate can formulate a scientific hypothesis, set research objectives, define methods for its fulfilment and establish a time schedule for the fulfilment of objectives. He/she can verify achieved results and confront them with the current theory or results or solutions of other authors and formulate conclusions.
The graduate of the study program: Building Technology, Field of study: Civil Engineering can: identify global scientific and innovative development in the field and in related fields and use it in the development of the field, with the integration of knowledge from different areas. He/she can create and formulate new hypotheses, conclusions and theories and develop new technological procedures for the further development of its own scientific field. He/she can apply his/her own findings resulting from theoretical analysis and his/her own scientific research of a complex and interdisciplinary nature. Furthermore he/she can propose, verify and implement new research and working procedures, analyse and assess achieved results.
The graduate of the study program: Building Technology, Field of study: Civil Engineering has critical, independent and analytical thinking, is able to navigate in unpredictable, changing conditions of research activities. He/she can plan his/her own development and knowledge development in given scientific field. He/she is capable of independent scientific work as well as teamwork and taking responsibility for his/her own results as well as for the results of the team. He/she can present research and development results to a professional national and international community.
The graduate has very good prospects of finding a job in research and development centers (research institutes and institutions) as well as in corporate research and development divisions focused on research, development and innovation of building materials and products, on solving physical problems of buildings, on building-technological design and optimization of building technologies, or modelling of building (construction) processes. The graduate has very good prospects of holding managerial positions, especially in the management of technological processes of material production, or in realization of buildings, in the management of research activities, as well as in the management of quality, environmental protection and work safety.
The graduate of the study program is prepared to practise professions related to the research and development of new building materials and products or innovation of existing materials and products or development of building technologies, but also to the design of optimal construction procedures, modelling of construction processes and optimization of their spatial, temporal and technological structure. He/she can carry out research or laboratory activities directly or manage research activities. He/she can also be a quality system manager, even for highly sophisticated production systems and for the construction of complicated buildings, or an environmental or safety manager.
The study program is assessed by employers' representatives at the Study program Council. The record from the meeting is uploaded here: https://is.stuba.sk/dok_server/slozka.pl?id=215220
