An investment project as an undertaking for the future, more or less foreseeable, is a priori encumbered with the possibility of occurrence of disturbances. In recent years there have appeared significant changes in the scope of execution of construction projects, connected with the investment execution time, manner of financing, investors, and the environment in which the given project is executed. That fact determines the need, or even the necessity, to conduct the research into the issues of risk assessment and its utilitarian aspects. That problem applies also to construction projects, including water supply and sewage projects. An example of the project with all kinds of threats characteristic of such types of investments is the project entitled “Complex protection of the underground waters in the Kielce agglomeration.” The risk factors result from the complexity and specificity of that type of projects. The presented article is an introduction to the discussion on the issues of assessing the risk of execution of water supply and sewage projects. The intention of the authors was to present the specificity of that type of projects and the general identification of the risk factors accompanying them.

This study aimed to analyze perceptions of Iranian English for Academic Purposes (EAP) students on their computer literacy levels. A total of 641 undergraduate students of civil engineering and 34 EAP instructors participated in the study. Data collection instruments included questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Findings confirmed that the participants perceived Iranian EAP students’ computer literacy levels as low and insufficient for the efficient implementation of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) in EAP instruction. The results of the study highlighted that computer literacy occupies a significant role in tertiary students’ academic and EAP achievement. It appeared that there are several constraints and barriers which would discourage EAP students from promoting their computer literacy and using computers for learning EAP. Furthermore, the study found evidence to support the view that there should be adequate computer literacy training programs for EAP students to facilitate the incorporation of computer technology in EAP instruction. The analysis of qualitative data provided insights into participants’ perceptions of several specific computer-based skills required for technology-enhanced EAP learning. Implications for the integration of technology and CALL in EAP instruction are provided.

The author presents the systemie framework of the European reform of technical education at universities in the field of civil engineering, as laid down in the Bologna Declaration. He discusses the results of monitoring over the implementation of new educational Solutions, with a special focus on assessing the progress of reforms as of 2009. This assessment was given in the ElTs most recent report (Stocktaking Report), presented at the Conference of European Ministers Responsible of Higher Education, held in Leuven, Belgium, in April 2009. The author draws particular attention to the challenges facing the Polish academic community as they need to introduce a new system based not on educational content but on ‘educational outputs.’ This would be in order to adjust the system to the National Oualifications Framework, currently being introduced in Poland. Such steps should enforce a change in how the objectives of higher education are perceived: the role of teaching being replaced with the role of learning. The author analyses problems resulting from the implementation of the Bologna process in Poland in one of the most traditional (and also most popular among candidates) technical fields, i.e. construction. He discusses those problems in the context of results achieved by the only European Thematic NetWork in technical education, called EUCEET (Civil Engineering Education and Training). The network was established in the European Union soon after signing the Bologna Declaration and has existed sińce then as a multi-partner Erasmus project. The selected Solutions which are discussed in the paper may be helpful for implementing the Bologna Process in other fields of technical education across Polish universities and colleges.

Autor przedstawia uwarunkowania systemowe europejskiej reformy kształcenia na technicznych studiach wyższych w dziedzinie inżynierii lądowej, wynikające z założeń Deklaracji Bolońskiej. Omawia wyniki monitoringu wdrażania nowych rozwiązań kształcenia, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ocen stanu zaawansowania reform na rok 2009, zawartych w najnowszym raporcie Unii Europejskiej (Stocktaking Report), przedstawionym na Konferencji Ministrów Szkolnictwa Wyższego Unii Europejskiej w Leuven (Belgia) w kwietniu 2009 r. Szczególną uwagę zwraca na zadania czekające polskie środowisko akademickie w zakresie wprowadzania na uczelniach nowego systemu opartego nie na treściach nauczania, ale na „efektach kształcenia” w dostosowaniu do wprowadzanych w Polsce Krajowych Ram Kwalifikacji, co powinno wymusić zmianę podejścia do celów kształcenia wyższego poprzez zamianę roli „nauczania” na rolę „uczenia się”. Poddaje analizie problemy wynikające z wdrażania w Polsce Procesu Bolońskiego na jednym z najbardziej tradycyjnych (i jednocześnie najbardziej dziś obleganym przez kandydatów na studentów) kierunku studiów technicznych, jakim jest budownictwo. Omawia te problemy na tle charakterystyki wyników prac jedynej w obszarze szkolnictwa technicznego Europejskiej Sieci Tematycznej pod nazwą EUCEET (Cm/ Engineering Education and Training), która powstała w Unii Europejskiej tuż po podpisaniu Deklaracji Bolońskiej i funkcjonuje do dziś jako projekt wielopartnerski w programie Erasmus. Omówione i skomentowane wybrane rozwiązania mogą być pomocne przy wdrażaniu Procesu Bolońskiego także na innych niż budownictwo kierunkach studiów technicznych w polskich uczelniach.

Příspěvek se zabývá vývojem stavebního odvětví v České republice od roku 1998 do roku 2011. Stavebnictví bývá v období krize prvním postiženým odvěvím. A naopak zlepšení výsledkù stavebních odvětví signalizuje zlepšení celého hospodářství země. Článek postihuje nejen stavebnictví v České republice jako celek, ale naopak rozkrývá i regionální rozdíly na úrovni jednotlivých krajů. Jako indikátor byl zvolen bankrotně-bonitní model - Taflerùv index. Výhodou indexu oproti např. Altmanovu indexu je, že neměří pouze sklon podniku k zániku, nebo k udržení, ale dokáže ocenit i případnou přiměřenou úroveň bonity.

The study deals with the development of the civil engineering industry in the Czech Republic from 1998 to 2011. It should be mentioned that civil engineering is usually the first industry that is affected when it comes to an economic crises. The improvement of outcomes of the civil engineering industry on the contrary indicates the improvement of the entire economy of the country. The study doesn't asses only civil engineering in the Czech Republic in its entirety but rather reveals the regional disparities at the level of individual regions. In this issue a bankruptcy model was selected as an indicator - Tafler's index. Tafler's index has an advantage when it is compared to e.g. Altman's index, because it doesn't gauge only the inclination of the company to come to extinction or to preservation but it is able to appreciate any appropriate level of credibility of the company.
