International Teacher Education Conference 2014 1

International Teacher Education Conference 2014
Introduction
The international conference INTE 2013 in Rome fascinated us, and therefore we have immediately applied
for participation in the conference ITEC in Dubai to present our results there. We follow up on the paper that we
presented at the conference INTE 2013 (Parilkova et al., 2013), at which we gave the basic information about us
and our school.
The mission of technical universities and colleges in all forms of education is the teaching and preparation of
students in theoretical, professional and practical areas to the extent of the entire subject.
The submitted paper will discusses the study at the Faculty of Civil Engineering (FCE) of Brno University of
Technology (BUT), partner relationships, possibilities of study for foreign students, all of which can also be
found at www.fce.vutbr.cz. Special attention is given to our experience in the teaching of foreign students in the
Laboratory of Water Management Research of the Department of Water Structures and in stays of our students
abroad (Parilkova et al., 2013), (Parilkova, 2009), (Parilkova and Vesely, 2009).
Introduction of new findings is closely connected with the scientific-research area and the demands of
practice. In solving this issue, it is necessary not only to establish international cooperation and a link to practice,
but also to know problems and needs of the given field of study. Our priority means international projects
focused on new technologies, innovation and industrial applications (Parilkova et al., 2013),
(www.eureka3838.com). We use the results and experience gained from the projects being undertaken.
We inform about the progress in the solution of projects and their succession from theory up to application in
practice and emphasis is placed on the publication and presentation of results, including our experience. We
inform about the projects being carried out in the Laboratory of Water Management Research (LWMR) of the
Department of Water Structures (DWB), Veveri 95, Brno, see (www.fce.vutbr.cz), (www.eureka3838.com) and
about the results in which the workplace participated.
We come to the conclusion that the results of science and research, collaboration with businesses and
experience in the solution of international projects clearly belong to teaching. This holds true in general,
therefore it is necessary to apply conclusions both to the full-time form of university/college study, and to lifelong
education, seminars and training for practice, not neglecting providing information at universities of the
third age for senior citizens.
