Department of Technology and Construction Management
Profile
The Department of Technology and Construction Management began operating on July 1, 2002, by separating from the Department of Highway Engineering based on practical requirements for university education of technologists and managers of investment preparation and construction of engineering and building structures including their maintenance, repairs, reconstruction and management. Currently, as a profile department, it guarantees teaching of the new accredited study programme - Construction Management and Information Systems. This enables students to acquire knowledge also in the field of information systems, particularly Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Building Information Modelling (BIM). Together with foreign language teaching, this allows study graduates to find employment in the pan-European area in positions of construction production managers and investment project management in civil engineering. Since its establishment, the department has organised numerous professional seminars and conferences, managed several projects within KEGA, VEGA, APVV grant calls as well as EU grants - ECOROADS, INTERREG and HORIZON 2020. Its members are members of international organisations - World Road Association. The department is equipped with a state-of-the-art laboratory of high international standard. These include instruments for measuring complex stiffness modulus and fatigue of asphalt mixtures, a prototype device for accelerated pavement testing, which was granted a utility model certificate by the Industrial Property Office of the Slovak Republic. The department owns a cutting-edge tunnel operation safety simulator, which enables prediction of tunnel safety risks under various operating conditions.
