Goal:
Application of basic, theoretical and methodological, scientific-professional, and professional-applied knowledge and methods in solving specific problems within the selected field of transport economy and commercial business. Within the applied research work, the student studies the problem, its structure, and complexity and, based on the conducted analyzes, conclude possible ways of solving it. By studying the literature, the student gets acquainted with the methods that are intended for solving the problem. The goal of students' activities within applied research work is gaining the necessary experience through solving complex problems, and identifying opportunities for the application of previously acquired knowledge in practice.
Outcome:
Enabling students to independently apply knowledge from different areas which they have previously studied. Enable students to understand the structure of a given problem, perform systematic analysis, and make conclusions about a possible way of solving it. By studying professional literature, students expand their knowledge in the chosen field and can apply different methods for solving the problem. Students develop the ability to analyze and identify problems within a given topic. Through the practical application of acquired knowledge from different fields, students develop the ability to see the place and role of engineers in the chosen field, the need for cooperation with other professions, and teamwork.
