They are entrepreneurial and can lead projects of different complexity by respecting the ethical standards of their profession. They have a positive attitude towards lifelong learning and personal and professional development.

Landslides, erosion. Landslides. Storms. Earthquakes: seismo-tectonics, formation of the earthquakes, types of earthquakes, peak ground acceleration. Flooding from external and internal waters, formation and monitoring of drought, extreme precipitation. Radiation.

Lectures, practical classes, consultations. The theoretical part of the study material is presented at lectures through presentations of individual thematic units, followed by the appropriate examples from engineering practice for the sake of easier perceiving and understanding. At practical classes, the study material is processed through the solving of practical problems with the active participation of students. In addition to lectures and exercises, consultations are held regularly in order to provide students with answers to additional questions related to the study material.
