New approaches to specifying performance of construction machinery

Abstract: The use of construction machinery for various construction processes must be based on the confrontation of actual conditions with the requirements for its maximum efficiency. The most important parameter for selecting construction machinery is its performance, which varies depending on its utilisation in specific conditions. Studies conducted so far show that the selection of construction machinery depends on a number of variables whose values are stochastic in nature. The present research aims at comparing the deterministic and stochastic approaches for the specification of technical and operational performance of construction machinery.

Integrating Economic and Managerial Skills with an Emphasis on Needs of Labor Markets

Abstract: The paper aims to provide insight into the current state of education in economic and managerial knowledge on Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Technical University in KoAiice. Students use the information to acquire the necessary habits in the branch of management and economics in building. The paper characterized the courses where students come into contact with the problems of management and economics in the building during university studies. The point of paper is to highlight the frequency of articles focused on economic and managerial knowledge. Based on the cooperation between the school and the practice was to measure, a new study Realisation Department of traffic engineering. Combination the three basic pillars of branches of study (department of engineering, construction and road building, construction and industry economics and management) brings an integrated interdisciplinary knowledge for graduates. This knowledge graduates can use for prepare and manage demanding projects of road construction. Such graduate will not only be a good expert in the design of civil structures, but they will also be able to prepare and manage this building. This knowledge is in construction practice required.

Key competencies of civil engineering faculty graduates in Slovak republic

Abstract: One of the main tasks of university is to provide an education which supported the expert, as well as the key competencies of graduates. The gained expert competencies are preconditions for the implementation of selected ocupations. On the other hand, there is not always a direct correlation between success of graduates in school and their professional life. Moreover, the employers in the construction sector claim that the key competencies – skills and attitudes of person and its readiness for the life quality are very important. The key competencies enable person to continuously update its knowledge and skills needed in practice. The definition and selection of key competencies of university graduates are always influenced by valuable and crucial needs of society. Therefore, we cannot define the key competencies in generally for the university graduates. This paper is focused on the definition of key competencies for graduates of study programme “Technology and Management in Construction” at Civil Engineering Faculties in Slovakia through the processing of various sources – the competence profile of graduates which was defined by teachers of this study programme and by the structured interviews with employers.
