Engineering law as a teaching program

The project has been approved, as GTU is the number one technical university of the country constantly pursuing renewal and innovation. In this regard, it is important to introduce new curriculum programs that will be focused on market demand. This project is a combined bachelor's program, namely a joint program of law and engineering, which will be implemented in the form of a separate engineering program "Engineering Economics". The joint program of engineering science and law, as far as we know, has not been implemented in any post-Soviet space university.

Therefore, Georgian Technical University, in particular, Faculty of Law and International Relations will be the first to lay down, implement and successfully realise the above-mentioned combined educational course. Interestingly, this course has been successfully implemented at the Sydney Technological University. According to the website of the Sydney Technological University, this is a joint course of law and engineering faculty, which includes teaching and deep knowledge of technical subjects. A number of activities are planned during the implementation process, which will be financed from the budget of law and international relations. Gtu rector academician Archil Prangishvili will be in charje of the project.

Dean of Law and International faculty Professor Irakli Gabisonia, GTU professor Jemal Gakhokidze and Associate Professor Giorgi Goradze will be the project managers . The working group, quality expert and technical personnel are also staffed. As a result of their joint activities, the undergraduate and postgraduate program will be created, after which the student will have double diploma as an engineer, as well as in law. Also, the project budget is composed of three expenditures. The Technical University of Georgia has the relevant material and intellectual base to implement the "engineering law" as a separate study program after proper training.

The graduate will have the opportunity to be employed as a lawyer in ecological law, technological legislation and special criminal law, consultant of engineering corporations, counselor or manager etc. They will develop critical and analytical skills with strong emphasis on the industry, which is necessary to understand complex relationships between engineering and law. The course is intended for students who want to get a full range of higher professional legal education along with engineering sciences. The course encompasses 264 credits, which gives students the opportunity to obtain higher education in the Bachelor of Technical Sciences and Bachelor Degree in a separate Law.

This project was developed by the Faculty Dean, Professor Irakli Gabisonia and the representatives of the Academic Department due to the growing demand for legal services in the areas in which the technical issues are needed. Such specialists are in great demand as in private law firms and mechanical engineering. Within the framework of the project will be developed both the Bachelor's and the Master's Program in Engineering Law, special literature by Georgian scientists will be created, foreign literature will be translated and a comprehensive curriculum will be developed together with the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia. We are proud, as the foundation has been established, one of the most important things in the field of law and international relations is to establish a decent name in the field of education. Since this project serves the common goal of developing and implementing a program that does not have any university in the post-Soviet space
