Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of the course is to gain basic skills in designing buildings for rail traffic through the project. After graduating student can describe and solve basic problems in tracing, construction and modernization of railway track including turnout structures, draft subsoil related proposals accompanying buildings. The student acquires the skill to formulate problems, to form a basic design, applying knowledge and skills in solving basic problems in the field of transportation planning, including budgeting, construction and construction-technological planning (schedules, etc.)
