Operations Research Implementation in Civil Engineering and Geodesy Academic Studies in the Former Yugoslav Republics
Keywords:
Operations research; Bachelor programmes; Master studies.Abstract
The research presented in this paper is an extension of the research on the implementation of operations research in the subjects of undergraduate (bachelor's) and master's academic studies at the faculties of civil engineering and geodesy. For the purposes of this research, besides the Republic of Serbia, five more countries in the region were included: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro, and the Republic of North Macedonia. A total of fourteen faculties from former Yugoslav countries were analyzed, and all of them are public, except UNION Nikola Tesla. This topic emphasizes the importance of implementing operations research in civil engineering and geodesy subjects as a mathematical method of decision-making.
