Sustainable Environmental and Natural Resource Economics BMEGT42… 2/0/0f/2kr.

BUTE FESS Department of Environmental Economics

The aim of the course unit is to introduce students to the contemporary issues arising in environmental and

natural resource economics. To begin, students will learn about the underlying economic background of

challenges, including the problem of managing scarce resources and renewable resources, the problem of

balancing resource use between the present and the future. Then, students will learn about each resource type

individually, highlighting the economic questions and contemporary practices for each one. To conclude,

students will look at the possible avenues for the future, the transition to sustainable development, and the

future effects of a rapidly changing climate.

Economic Analysis of Technological Processes BMEGT30MS02 2/0/0/f/2kr.

BUTE FESS Department of Economics

Recently the education in different fields of engineering does not contain only the traditional topics of

technology, problems of exhausting of natural resources, transport problems, etc. but also elements from

economic sciences are taken into account. Extremely important is the understanding of the duality between

technologies and cost of production. Thus engineers will be engaged to understand economic consequences of

their decisions, a joint language will be developed for engineers as well as for business man to discuss their

different aspects more efficiently. The aim of the present subject is to give an introduction into this approach

based on empirical investigations as well as on theoretical consequences.

Quality management BMEGT20M002 2/0/0/f/2kr.

BUTE FESS Department of Management and Corporate Economics

During the semester students get acquainted with the most important issues and methods of the improvement

of quality management systems. They are provided with an overview of the most common quality philosophies

applied for the improvement of quality in the productive and service industry. We elaborate the application and

requirements of self-evaluation models and their roles in total quality management philosophy. Another

objective is to improve the skills of students regarding the application of quality management tools and

techniques.

Investments BMEGT35M004 2/0/0/f/2kr.

BUTE FESS Department of Finance

The subject of investments focuses on getting our non-economics-major students closer to the principles of

investments theory and the practical side of investments. As investments are one of the main determinants of

our financial situation, we think they constitute an inevitable part of the everyday knowledge all decision-makers

in modern market economies must possess. Investment and financial decisions, on the other hand, require at

least a basic knowledge of financial markets, the risk-return relationship of investment opportunities, and the

principles of asset pricing theories.

Management Accounting BMEGT35M005 2/0/0/f/2kr.

BUTE FESS Department of Finance

The main aim of the course is to provide students a practical and structured approach to Management

Accounting. On the sessions various topcis will be discussed from cost and responsibility accounting to the

modern approaches. The course develops knowledge and understanding of management accounting

Communication in Society and Visual Communication BMEGT43MS02 2/0/0/f/2kr.

BUTE FESS Department of Sociology and Communication

The course aims to discuss and analyze social phenomena by means of exploring their manifestation in the

visual sphere. By providing methods with the help of which students learn to understand communicative

processes of arts, social campaigns, product design, advertisement, etc. our goal is dual: first, to show how

certain social issues are presented in the public visual sphere and second, to deepen students’ theoretical –

sociological and philosophical – knowledge on the given topic.
