ABSTRACT The University of Buenos Aires (UBA) develops the UBANEX program, focused on service-learning projects for students involving social, environmental and public health concerns. One of the proposals was a collaborative project between UBA and the National University of General Sarmiento. Based on the hypothesis that students’ voluntary involvement in social concerns improves their attitudes towards themselves and learning, the aim was to focus on the development of social and professional skills by implementing an interdisciplinary work for water quality and supply assessment in low-income homes from a southern district of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. Eighteen volunteers—Chemical and Civil Engineering students—were recruited during August–December 2016. Tasks were distributed according to their interests: survey making, sampling, lab analysis, infrastructure checking, etc. Volunteers were surveyed in social involvement, lab skills, data compilation and analysis, leading to a final report with recommendations for a proper water use. The survey results compiled their feedback: 72% admitted an update on water quality problems, 60% learned new lab techniques and were able to analyze results, 89% supported the University’s involvement in social concerns and 56% expanded their opinion about the professional field. The students confirmed their interest in participating in the next UBANEX project.

Background: The relevance of the study lies in the need of studying lecturer’s language etiquette, his role in the formation of a professionally oriented personality in terms of improving the system of higher education, in the process of implementing new requirements and standards of education. Purpose: To identify the components of lecturer’s language etiquette, which are important for students of higher education, as well as to identify ways of their formation and development. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was developed using Google Forms to implement the study. The questionnaire was distributed by e-mail among 70 students from Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (Kharkiv, Ukraine) and 40 students from Sukhum State University (Tbilisi, Georgia). Results: The survey allowed to find that the main principles of language etiquette of the lecturer are: politeness, tact, kindness, tolerance, friendliness, ability to listen, others. Among the violations of the rules of language etiquette of the lecturer, which are most common, students noted the following: talking in “high tones”, excessive categorical statements, hostility, tactlessness, rudeness, bias, arrogance, others. Conclusions: The most popular in the process of pedagogical communication are the lecturer’s competencies, such as listening skills, managing their emotions and states, interaction with students based on understanding their values and needs, tact, politeness, tolerance, friendliness. Especially important are the skills of building effective speech, establishing and maintaining a communicative balance in the audience, creating an atmosphere of trust, psychological comfort, open and equal cooperation. These skills and abilities become especially relevant in the era of digitalization and the transition to blended learning.

The key point of this paper is presentation of the main idea and some results of the project “Small UAS in civil engineering application scenarios” (SUAS-CAS). This project was proposed by newly established in 2016 ISPRS WG V/7: “Innovative Technologies in Training Civil Engineers and Architects”. Here we are presenting our experience in using low-cost UAS in training architects at Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, which was chosen as basic for this project. In the first part of paper, the project outline is presented. Then the first and possible follow project outcomes were described. In some details is described the training module “Small UAS in architecture” which was developed and included as a part of the subject “Architectural photogrammetry”.

The article highlights the main stages of formation and development of the Department of Water Supply, Sewerage and Hydraulics of the Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (then Kharkiv Civil Engineering Institute). At the beginning of its founding it was called as "Water Supply, Sewerage and Sanitation". ‘ The information on the heads of the department is given. Famous graduates are mentioned, who later became famous scientists, production organizers, managers of utilities and construction companies. It is noted that during the existence of the department its employees have published a significant number of works of scientific and scientific-methodical nature, including monographs and textbooks, received copyright certificates and patents of Ukraine and other countries. It is emphasized that during all the years the training of young specialists at the department was carried out not only for our country, but also for more than 30 countries. Currently, students are trained at the first (bachelor's) and second (master's) levels by highly qualified scientists and specialists with many years of pedagogical, scientific and industrial experience in specialties 192 "Construction and Civil Engineering" professional direction "Water Supply and Sewerage" and 194 "Hydraulic Construction, water engineering and water technologies". Moreover, close partnership with the leading enterprises in Kharkiv had provided an opportunity to open department branches, which helps to practice for students at a high level. The main directions of scientific activity, which are embodied in the implementation of state budget and economic-contractual works, are shown. At the same time, significant work is carried out at the department for the training of highly qualified specialists, which allows the staff of the department to maintain the optimal composition of experience and youth. An important component of the department is international cooperation with universities and scientific or industrial enterprises in other countries. Perspective ways of the department for future are shown.

The paper covers historical material on the formation and development of schools of thought in geotechnical engineering in Kharkiv National University of Civil Engineering and Architecture (formerly known as Kharkiv Civil Engineering Institute), which came into being in 1934 with the establishment of the Department of Bases and Foundations. Particular emphasis is laid upon some personalities of the department; they are outstanding scientists and professors, such as F.O. Belyakov, S.Z. Saidakovsky, I.Ya. Luchkovsky, G.G. Strizhelchyk and others, who made a significant contribution to the formation of schools of thought in geotechnical engineering at the university. A particular contribution of the created research laboratory and the developed equipment for field methods of research into physical and mechanical properties of soils of bases for the foundations of building structures is singled out in the development of scholarly knowledge. The achievements of the renamed Department of Geotechnics, Underground and Hydrotechnical Structures are listed as of today, such as renovation of the educational and research laboratory of “Geotechnical Survey”, which has a governmental certification and allows scientists and students to perform high-quality laboratory work and conduct a full range of engineering and geological and hydrogeological surveys for construction; creation of a new research and technical subdivision of the department known as “Center for monitoring buildings and structures”, which conducts an instrument monitoring of the stress-strain state of the bases and foundations of construction projects using advanced equipment and software packages; availability of an IT classroom and licensed software, including SOFISTIK, a powerful German design software package, which allows researchers to provide high-level research and technical support for designing construction projects. The paper also clearly shows the advantages of training scientific staff and civil engineers in specialties 192 “Construction and Civil Engineering” and 194 “Hydrotechnical Engineering, Water Engineering and Water Technology" and, as a result, a considerable demand for KhNUCEA graduates from employers.
