Higher education in the field of civil engineering and architecture is demanding and time-consuming. Besides subject related topics, most modern study programs also contain courses in other disciplines such as languages, ethics or law. Nevertheless, while elaborating a curriculum sometimes it is discussed controversially if the valuable study time should be spent with teaching law contents rather than use it for subject specific courses. The question is whether legal knowledge is required for civil engineers and architects to work professionally. The authors analyzed the professional competences and skills civil engineers and architects should have. They examined existing alumni reviews and carried out new surveys among participants of two conferences. The objective was to obtain more information about the worth of teaching law topics in civil engineering and architecture education as well as the need of legal knowledge in the professional life. The authors concluded that teaching legal topics is necessary and helpful for civil engineering and architecture graduates to work professionally. Most of the asked professionals agreed with that statement and desired additional law education in their professional life. However, the paper also shows differences between the two professional groups. Thus, more architects than civil engineers recommended teaching legal topics and were interested in continuing legal education.

Judicial examination has existed in our country for many years. For law students, the judicial examination is an important examination of their career. By the end of 2015, the state has put forward the objectives and tasks of improving the national legal professional qualification system. In August 2017, the judicial examination was reformed in the draft of the 8 judicial amendments, such as the Judge Law. This puts forward new requirements for the cultivation of the practical ability of law students. Judicial examination is an important link between law education and legal profession, and has an important influence on the undergraduate education of law. Legal education is an important part of higher education. It is an educational activity with the content of imparting legal knowledge, training legal thinking and cultivating qualified legal professionals. However, the cultivation of legal professionals is not the only goal of law education. Under the background judicial examination reform, it is necessary to explore the legal undergraduate education model, change the concept of legal education and cultivate national application talents.

The Pancasila legal paradigm is a legal category that is unique to Indonesia, but is universally objective. This jurisprudence is based on God Almighty. This jurisprudence is loaded with the values of Almighty God and other values in the frame of the value of Almighty God. The existence and existence of this legal knowledge for the people of Indonesia is a gift. To change the paradigm of higher education in the field of law, it must start by changing education fundamentally as a dynamic subject of the reality of people's lives so that understanding of law becomes holistic, visionary, and meaningful. One way to elevate Pancasila as the nation's identity and be known by the nations of the world, is by practicing the values contained in the five principles, by synergizing Pancasila values with the legal education curriculum in Indonesia, so that it will produce law graduates who live the values of Pancasila.

The Latvian language as a foreign language (LATS) is learned both in Latvia and abroad. It can be done in higher education institutions, as well as in different courses and self-directed learning. Outside Latvia, there are many countries and higher education institutions where it is possible to acquire LATS. In some higher education institutions, the Latvian language has been taught since the beginning of the 20th century. The oldest LATS teaching traditions are in North America, Germany, Sweden, Lithuania and Australia. In some universities, such as Stockholm University, Masaryk University, Saint Petersburg State University, etc., academically strong study programs in Baltic Studies were established. Over time, study programs have been closed for various reasons, at most leaving the Latvian language as an optional course. At some universities, the Latvian language course has been discontinued. Although in some higher education institutions outside Latvia LATS could be acquired starting from the beginning of the 20th century, the most significant interest in the Latvian language was after the restoration of independence of the Republic of Latvia. Then many higher education institutions in Europe established Latvian language and culture study programs. This interest was related to the geopolitical situation. People tried to get to know the post-Soviet countries through the language. When Latvia joined the European Union, interest in the Latvian language decreased in Europe. Nowadays, interest in the Latvian language has increased in Asia, especially in China. In Asia, it is possible to acquire the Latvian language in China and Japan. There are established different Latvian language bachelor programs in universities of China while in Japan the Latvian language is taught for somebody interested in Latvian culture and traditions more than in the Latvian language.

Complex Knowledge

Legal knowledge is boring, and some content is not related to their life experience. To impart such complex knowledge to students, as a teacher, you must improve your professional skills, actively explore, learn, and find the best teaching methods. Only in this way can the students’ understanding of legal knowledge and thinking ability be expanded, and the boring legal knowledge can be more specific, visualized, popular, life-oriented, and easy to understand, so that students can master and understand legal knowledge and transform it into their own practical actions. This article is mainly aimed at the conditions created by the current social practice of law students by enterprises and institutions in the society, as well as the knowledge teaching situation of law practice teaching in law education during school. It emphasizes the importance of knowledge education in legal practice teaching, and calls on schools to increase investment in time teaching. All the teachers and students are required. This article scientifically and comprehensively interprets the knowledge education situation of legal practice teaching in our country’s legal education. Especially the intuitive analysis, in the process of knowledge education, the teaching methods adopted the teaching principles to follow and other issues. It makes everyone more clearly and straightforwardly aware of the positive significance of the knowledge education of legal practice teaching in legal education for the cultivation of talents. Through the discussion of the problems, this article knows the importance of constructing a reasonable teaching model of law. Among them, practical teaching knowledge education is very beneficial to students and has a profound impact on students’ future employment. The experimental results show that the traditional legal education training is not to abandon all, but to effectively integrate with the current teaching tasks and training objectives, so as to truly train students into comprehensive all-round legal professionals.

In the field of civil engineering, the meteorological data available usually do not have the detailed information of the wind near a certain site. However, the detailed information of the wind field during typhoon is important for the wind-resistant design of civil structures. Furthermore, the resolution of the meteorological data available by the civil engineers is too coarse to be applicable. Therefore it is meaningful to obtain the detailed information of the wind fields based on the meteorological data provided by the meteorological department. Therefore, in the present study, a one-way coupling method between WRF and CFD is adopted and a method to keep the mass conservation during the simulation in CFD is proposed. It is found that using the proposed one-way coupling method, the predicted wind speed is closer to the measurement. And the curvature of the wind streamline during typhoon is successfully reproduced.

Dual study programs are hybrid forms of work-based higher education that have expanded very rapidly in Germany—a country traditionally considered a key model in both higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET). The continued expansion of these hybrid programs increasingly raises questions if, how, and why they may be internationalized. Although comparative research suggests that this could be challenging due to the uniqueness of the German education and training system, strong forces support internationalization. This study examines the current state and the future prospects of internationalization of such innovative dual study programs by focusing on student mobility, a key dimension of internationalization. We find growing interest in but still relatively little mobility related to dual study programs, whether among German (outgoing) or international (incoming) students. Based on expert interviews and document analysis, we extend existing typologies of student mobility regarding specific features of work-based HE programs. Furthermore, we discuss opportunities—at home and abroad—for increasing student mobility in this rapidly expanding sector.

Long Term Impact

The spreading of COVID-19 since March 2020 has had a profound and irreversible impact on all spheres of life around the world. The long-term impact of the pandemic with unpredictable consequences will also be observed in the field of education. The aim of the article is to analyse the potential impact of COVID-19 on the providing of qualitative legal education.  Full-fledged assurance of the qualitative education is linked to common conditions for acquiring of knowledge, skills and competences. There are certain specifics in obtaining legal education, especially higher education. It is related to a combination of circumstances that are relevant to the specific knowledge, skills and competences to be acquired by lawyers and legal assistants. In 2020 a new standard for the legal profession was approved, which not only defines new qualitative requirements for the relevant profession, but also determines the need to make adjustments in the relevant study programs. The process of implementing and performing qualitative legal education in the current circumstances is being transformed in line with the international   and national regulatory frameworks in the context of management of COVID-19. As research methods descriptive, analytical and synthetic methods are used by the authors.
