Innovative Road and Bridge Engineering (Joint Degree With Rtu) VILNIUS TECH

Overview

Such solutions are based on systemic, critical and constructive thinking and are scientifically reasoned.

Specialists trained in the programme are able to integrate and cross-apply road sectors’ management theory, innovative technological engineering knowledge related with the progress of construction, economy, other sciences and technologies. Studies focus on computer design of the buildings and on work with the latest profession-based software.

Students completing this joint study programme will receive diplomas of Masters’ qualification degree awarded by two universities – VILNIUS TECH and RTU.

Within the Innovative Road and Bridge Engineering (Joint Degree With Rtu) M.Eng programme at VILNIUS TECH to educate students who are able to apply the gained innovative road and bridge engineering science and practical knowledge for formulation, verification and independent making of effective engineering solutions, based on systematic, critical and constructive thinking/consideration and scientific argumentation, and having mastered scientific provisions of quantitative and qualitative cognition and interaction, and dependence of the provisions in question on different conditions.

Moreover, the graduates are expected to be able to integrate and in a complex manner to employ road system management theories, innovative road and bridge design an technology engineering knowledge, which encompass the progress in construction, economics and other sciences and technologies.

What will students learn?

• To apply the potential of modern road and bridge information systems and the basic trends of their development in engineering, by application of theoretical knowledge, identification of risk and safety factors in bridge and road engineering.

• Planning, design, creation, modelling and development methodologies and principal theoretical ways of solution for different purpose roads and transport system networks.

• Latest bridge and road engineering ideology, state of the art scientific achievements and developed methodologies and technologies for individual application of scientific and engineering ideas.

• To identify and critically appraise theoretical and practical novelties in road and bridge design, construction, maintenance and upgrading as well as traffic safety and to apply them in scientific and practical activities.

• To perceive possible ethic, technical, economic, social consequences of the taken own solutions and the related responsibility, management of risk and safety conditions by establishing durability of road and bridge structures, and to justify the conclusions of own researches and reasoning in a substantiated way, to communicate them verbally and in writing in an understandable manner to different area and interest and different reduction background stakeholders.
