International scientific symposium Faculties and studies of transport and traffic engineering in Europe: Proceedings

The book is a compilation of sixteen papers by 26 authors, which represent the original presentation papers of almost all Transport Science Faculties in Europe. The thematic of the papers is marked by the specific topic on the status of adaptation within the context of the Bologna Declaration, harmonization of curricula, implementation of ECTS, recognition and validation of diplomas, competitiveness in relation to conventional technical faculties and all the problems faced by the faculties of traffic and transport engineering in the process of reforming the European higher education system, as well as visions, proposals and strategic guidelines of further development. From the point of view of contribution to sciences development, the papers suggest development models of University study programmes and international academic cooperation, which will assure recognizability and excellence of transport sciences. The planned changes in the curricula regarding adjustment and recognizability of the curricula and diplomas in Europe represent an especially sensitive issue for the university entities which do not educate conventional profiles in the field of technical sciences and which are relatively few in number compared to the technical faculties with a long tradition. The tendency to rationalise the curricula with the emphasis on the theory and fundamentals oriented towards the creation of multidisciplinary curricula adjusted to the needs of regional development, economy and market, is a challenge precisely directed to the transport profession and science. The planned legislative changes and reforms of the higher education system at the university level (Bologna Declaration) include the necessity to organise international inter-faculty exchanges of the scientific and teaching staff i.e. the establishment and maintenance of the academic cooperation with the related European faculties. The book reflects in full the interest at the European level, both of the academic community, especially transport engineering profile, and transport regulators and operators.
