The aim of the course is to convey a comprehensive and complex design approach. The task specification is based on a small urban area. The main infrastructural facilities, road network, water utilities, as well as the overall water management of the micro-region are to be planned.
The planning task is to be developed in the following steps:
· micro-regional concept covering all disciplines,
· detailed plans of the designated parts of the individual disciplines up to the level of design for approval,
· detailed design of designated parts with bill of quantities.
- is familiar with the steps of synthesizing simple planning procedures used in road design,
- knows the calculation and design steps used in pavement reinforcement design,
- has the knowledge on the steps of simple public utility planning procedures,
- is aware of of simple water management questions.
is able to define the number of traffic lanes based on traffic data,
- can develop a suitable pavement structure based on estimated future traffic data,
- is able to prepare road construction plans and traffic engineering plans of an urban road at ‘plan for approval’ level, based on previous studies,
- is able to perform hydraulic engineering design task based on previous studies,
- is able to perform utility planning tasks based on previous studies,
- is able to express his thoughts in an orderly form orally, in writing and in standard planning work sections.
- cooperates with the instructor during consultations,
- is open to the professional use of IT tools,
- strives to learn and skillfully use the tools and techniques required to solve the design problem,
- strives for accurate and precise task solutions,
- during the preparation of the tasks, he/she tries to produce work that is accurate and comprehensible, has an orderly appearance, that is expected at an engineering standard,
- during the preparation of the tasks, he/she tries to implement the principles of sustainability, integrated planning and environmental awareness.
thinks through planning tasks and problems and solves them based on given resources,
- accepts well-founded critical comments with an open mind,
- applies the systematic approach in his/her thinking,
- prepares well for the consultations in order to make the consultations smoother,
- makes a responsible decision in relation to the frequency of appearances in consultation hours, in accordance with his abilities and prior preparation, in order to fulfill the tasks at the expected level.
During the consultation, assistance in solving planning tasks (for connecting previously learned elements into a project), verbal communication, and individual homework assignments prepared in teamwork or independently.

Due to the special nature of the subject, participation in consultation classes is not mandatory. Failure to participate in no way exempts the student either from solving the tasks to an appropriate standard, or from lack of knowledge presented in the consultation classes.
The teachers are available for consultation during their office hours, as advertised at the department website.
II. Subject requirements
The assessment of the learning outcomes specified in clause 2.2. above and the evaluation of student performance occurs via three separate homeworks.
During the semester, there is a continuous partial performance evaluation (6 milestones).
Completion of the milestones is mandatory, and upon successful completion of the predetermined requirements, the student will receive a separate signature for each one.
Homeworks can only be submitted if all milestones have signatures. Otherwise, the course cannot be passed.
The student passes if all homeworks have received at least satisfactory (2) marks.
| Evaluation form | Abbreviation | Assessed learning outcomes |
| 1. Hydraulic
engineering (with continuous partial performance evaluation - 3 milestones) 2. Highway engineering (with continuous partial performance evaluation - 2 milestones) 3. Public works (with continuous partial performance evaluation - 1 milestone) | HW1 HW2 HW3 | A.4; B.4; C.1-C.6; D.1-D.5 A.1, A.2; B.1-B.3, B.6; C.1-C.6; D.1-D.5 A.3; B.5; C.1-C.6; D.1-D.5 |
The dates of deadlines of assignments/homework can be found in the detailed course schedule on the subject’s website.

| Sum | 100% |
Signature cannot be obtained.
| Grade | Points (P) |
| excellent (5) | 90<=P |
| good (4) | 75<=P<90% |
| satisfactory (3) | 62.5<=P<75% |
| passed (2) | 50<=P<62.5% |
| failed (1) | P<50% |
All milestones have an additional deadline, (usually 1 week after the regular deadline) in accordance with the detailed semester schedule, in addition to paying the fee specified in the regulations. Only work submitted before the given deadline can receive a signature. Furthermore, no corrections can be made after the additional deadline, so if the submitted work does not meet the minimum requirements, it cannot get a signature.
Homeworks can be handed in late (usually 1 week after the regular deadline) in accordance with the detailed semester schedule, in addition to paying the fee specified in the regulations. Submitted and accepted homework can be corrected free of charge by the last deadline.
