Profile of the Branch |
---|
The Master’s program of the European school for technical brownfields redevelopment is interdisciplinary 2 years study branch. It is based on a combination of natural, economic and construction engineering sciences, including professional disciplines. The main aim of the study is to prepare graduates to manage project and work activities in the restoration and development of abandoned industrial areas = brownfields. Teaching and education has base in scientific disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry. It is expected that a bachelor study graduate has such knowledge. The study plan is composed of the compulsory subjects and compulsorily chosen subjects that enable to tailor their studies according to their own interests and professional intentions. Individual courses are designed to give students theoretical and practical knowledge to the extent of master study. Theoretical knowledge from lectures is developed further in field work, seminars, colloquia and exercises. The case study solutions that are discussed and dealt with in the professional colloquium and practical field works have a significant role in the educational process. The case studies are created in order to help students develop professional, systematic and independent work. |
Key Learning Outcomes |
---|
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies |
---|
Knowledge: |
---|
Graduates are equipped with complex knowledge in the fields: Landscape and nature conservation, their components and functions, Technical restoration of functions of landscape segments, Environmental assessment of brownfields, Civil engineering and technical assessment, Economical and socio-economical assessment, Remediation and regeneration of areas, Consultancy and expert activities and Environmental protection and design. Graduates are able to use their knowledge and attainments from particular sphere for solving the problems of the brownfields in the urban area and open countryside. |
Skills: |
---|
On the basis of the acquired theoretical knowledge a graduate is capable of identifying, sorting and interpreting information related to brownfield redevelopment. During their studies the students deepen their skills in laboratory, experimental and field tasks and consequently can work with maps and local plans, legislation, they can propose solutions for decontamination and remediation of brownfields or analyse and produce data in a GIS. |
General competencies: |
---|
Graduates are independent experts who can make responsible decisions and understand the wide range of issues related to the problems of brownfields. They are able to build up and lead a professional team and work in it. According to evolving context and available resources they are able to define the terms of reference for professional activities, coordinate them and to bear ultimate responsibility for the results. Graduates are able to clearly and persuasively communicate their own expert opinion with professionals and the general public, they are able to express themselves verbally and also in specialized press. Of course there is a continuous professional development, acquisition and use of new knowledge in the field. Master's degree graduates will be also able to independently and responsibly solve the ethical problems. |
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples |
---|
Graduates will have the right to use the title Engineer (Ing., Dipl. Ing.), they find their application as managers and technologists in a companies focused on regeneration of derelict industrial buildings, landscapes and areas, as professionals and executive directors in municipalities, first of all in the field of environmental protection and creation, in building authorities, urban enters, as experts in the field of renovation and reuse of abandoned areas, in industrial or agriculture companies, projection offices, business companies, in a research and other social activities in Czech Republic and all member states of the European union.
