Background
The success of mankind’s civilization is based on science and technology. The main mega-trend in science is specialization which can be expressed with words “to know more and more about less and less”. Augmentation of complexity is the dominating trend in the development of technology. This trend directly increases fragility and decrease robustness of modern machines and systems. Modern society is closely connected and very dependent on modern technology. All machines and technologies are developed by engineers, but the role and influence of engineers in the development of the society is continuously decreasing. This process was supported by education of engineers which is focused on narrow technical specialization excluding historical contest, scientific and academic space and state of modern society.

Aim and Focus
Our civilization is a technology based civilization. Increasing of complexity and decreasing of robustness are two typical development trends of modern technology. Only high level engineers with deep understanding and creativity are able to develop modern sophistical technical products and technologies. Doctoral studies are highest level of education of engineers. This is based on specialization and focus on small fields. The results are specialists (“Fachidiot”) as excellent engineers. Modern society needs additional competences from engineers:

  • Person with critical orientation in the historical context of development of science and technology
  • Person within the scientific and academic space
  • Personalities with character and ethics
  • International networking as an individual and as a part of a team
  • Close cooperation with industry
  • Development of characteristics and abilities of engineers for knowledge based society
  • Philosophy of technology, developing scenarios and trends
  • Philosophical approach for engineers
  • Others

How
International doctoral school will use following working forms: lectures, tutorials, demonstrations, coaching, privatisimus, practical skills and critical discussions.

Program and scheduling
All selected candidates and professors will personally get a detailed program and scheduling.
