Distinctive features of a study programme:
The curriculum is special in that it focuses on the development of competent specialists who can apply engineering thinking and independently solve transport engineering problems.
The specialists are trained, will be able to analyse, develop and design vehicles and their technological equipment, assess the state of vehicles, environmental impact, economic aspects, organize work, know the principles of operation of vehicle units, operational characteristics and problems.
The course introduces theoretical, structural, maintenance, transport organization and logistics principles of vehicles and equipment, analyses vehicle interaction with road and environment, and traffic safety issues.
Access to professional activity or further study:
Access to professional activity:
When students finish Automobile transport engineering specialization, employ the world's major automotive manufacturers offices, various state overland transport companies, private vehicle maintenance and repair stations, car sales and insurance organizations, vehicle registration companies, Traffic Police, Lithuanian transport safety administration, compulsory technical inspection stations, driver training schools and other. Some of the graduates successfully participate in competitions and are accepted to work in the Ministry of Transport. It is important to note that the Automobile transport specialization graduates may also work not only in companies associated with the automotive maintenance and repair, but also in other companies, which operate the various machines and mechanisms.
Railway transport engineering specialization graduates employ in one of the country's largest company AB "Lietuvos geležinkeliai" departments, other private and public companies, which operate railway rolling stock and the design technological devices. Railway transport engineering specialization graduate usually in their workplace organizing and controlling rolling stock maintenance and repair, are responsible for employee safety and health requirements. A significant part of transportation engineering master's degree graduates have good recommendations and successfully employ in AB “Lietuvos geležinkeliai” general directorate, rolling stock service and technical development departments, and continue climbing the career ladder. Railway transport engineering specialization graduates may also work not only in railway profile companies, which operate vehicles.
After completing Mobile machinery engineering specialization, students employ in large and small businesses companies, which engage in transport machinery, technological equipment and technological pipelines, hydraulic and pneumatic systems design, maintenance and repair and exploitation work.
After completing Autonomous transport specialization, students employ in large and small business companies that are engaged in the design, maintenance, repair and operation of automated vehicles, machines and technological devices.
Access to further study:
PhD studies at VILNIUS TECH, or others Lithuanian and foreign universities.
