EXAMPLES IN EDUCATION OF SPECIALIST OF TRANSPORT SECTOR AT SAINT-PETERSBURG STATE UNIVERSITY OF AEROSPACE INSTRUMENTATION (SUAI) / Primjeri iz obrazovanja specijalista u sektoru prijevoza na državnom aeronautičkom Sveučilištu u Sankt Petersburgu
To improve the organization and content of learning process in terms of the standard of the third generation in the direction of training, "Technology of transport processes" (190700.62)[1] at the Department of Systems Analysis and Logistics Saint-Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation, it was implemented a system approach to the training than the training of engineers in special field "Organization and Management in Transport".More important is the professional preparation of the future graduate training at his laboratory, workshops and lessons learned on field trips and internships.The system training graduate is impossible without interaction with the transport industry (airport, port, railway, city infrastructure), as they help to us to identify the most important topics.In addition, students should have the skills to work with a wide range of professional information used in logistics.The system approach allows the provision of information divided into subsystems, which will be presented from the bottom up in the learning process, so the student will study initially small logistics subsystem that can solve some logistical problems at the level of Bachelor's degree, after that at Master's degree, the student began working with the global logistics information systems.
Separately, it must be said about the complex implementation of an information program as teaching knowledge (interactive content), special skills training simulators and simulations of transport processes (depending on the type of transport) that could control and analysis different logistics situation (software calculation of tariffs, documents and so on.).Particular attention is paid to the preparation of the expert simulation of transport processes.To solve these problems in the department delivered courses such as "simulation of transport processes" "the technology of virtual simulators transport processes" and several others.In the process of learning during summer practices and student internships the students could be acquainted with each transport separately and gain experience solving transport problems.Upon the completion of training, the student chooses the location of the transportation system on which it will be the most effective way to work.Data information management implementation approach shows good results in training students of the Department of Systems Analysis and Logistics SUAI.

EXAMPLES IN EDUCATION OF SPECIALIST OF TRANSPORT SECTOR AT UNIVERSITY OF DUBROVNIK / Primjeri vještina specijalista u prijevoznom sektoru na Sveučilištu u Dubrovniku
In the education of specialists in maritime transport sector at management level we differentiate education for ''master'' and ''chief mate'' and for ''chief engineer and ''second engineer'' .Recently, from 2010., we have education for ''Electro-Technical Officer (ETO)''; see fig 3.Such education for all degrees has been realized on Bachelor Degree at the University of Dubrovnik.All study programs has to be in compliance with Model Courses 7.01, 7.02 and 7.08 written by IMO (International Maritime Organization).These model courses aim to meet the mandatory minimum requirements for knowledge, understanding and proficiency of STCW 2010 (Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping) Also, IMO has produced a booklet entitled "Guidance on the implementation of IMO model courses", which deals with this aspect in greater detail.In certain cases, the requirements for some or all of the training in a subject are covered by another lMO model course.In these cases, the specific part of the STCW Code which applies is given and the user is referred to the other model course.
For the courses to run smoothly and to be effective, considerable attention must be paid to the availability and use of: -Properly qualified instructors -Support staff -Rooms and other spaces -Equipment -Suggested references, textbooks, technical papers, bibliography -Other reference material.By a full mission simulator we understand a simulator capable of simulating a total shipboard bridge operation situation, including the capability for advanced manoeuvering in restricted waterways, e.g.advanced tugging with ship-to-ship interaction, ice, effects of tug/winches etc.This type of simulator is interfaced to a full mission Engine Room Simulator (ERS).This enables a total training capability.
The syllabus of Function 2 covers the requirements of the 2010 STCW Convention Chapter II, Section AII/2.This functional element provides the detailed knowledge to support the training outcomes related to Cargo Handling and Stowage at the Management Level.This section provides the background knowledge to support the tasks, duties and responsibilities in: -planning, safe loading, stowage, securing and care during the voyage and unloading of cargoes -the carriage of dangerous goods.
This includes topics such as ship trim, stability, ballasting, cargo securing, tankers and tanker operations and carriage of dangerous, hazardous and harmful cargoes.This section provides the background knowledge to support the tasks, duties and responsibilities in: -controlling trim, stability and stress -monitoring and controlling compliance with legislation to ensure -safety of life at sea -protection of the marine environment -maintaining safety and security of crew and passengers -developing emergency and damage control plans -organizing and managing the crew -organizing and providing medical care on board This includes topics such as ship construction and stability, dry-docking, search and rescue, personnel management and contingency planning.

At the Maritime Department of University of Dubrovnik ship's loading computer programs of different types of vessels have been used to fulfill these requirements.

STAFF REQUIREMENTS / Zahtjevi osoblja
Instructors shall be qualified in the task for which training is being conducted and have appropriate training in instructional techniques and training methods (STCW Code Section AI/6).Depending on the complexity of the exercises set, an assistant instructor with similar experience is desirable for certain practical exercises.

TEACHING FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT / Oprema za obuku i pomagala
Below is a comprehensive list of Teaching Aids that may be used for the purpose of teaching in the course.It is not advocated that all the Aids mentioned here must be used nor does it mean that other Teaching Aids not mentioned here are excluded from being used.The Instructor is free to use additional teaching material that may be best suited for the transference of knowledge and skills to the trainees.The following items are necessary for use in group work:

FOR FUNCTION 1: / Za funkciju 1:
COLREGS '72 -a set of table-top models displaying proper signals or lights, a magnetic board or a navigation light simulator Manoeuvering -a set of models to represent ships, jetties, piers and other dock configurations, which can be used on a table top to illustrate ship handling techniques

FOR FUNCTION 2 AND FUNCTION 3: / Za funkciju 2 i funkciju 3:
-a collection of photographs, drawings and plans, illustrating various types of ship and constructional details, should be provided.Cutaway models should be used to re-enforce this knowledge -a floating ship stability demonstration model and a flotation

CONCLUSION / Zaključak
Transport sector is traditionally globally oriented, so education has to be necessarily connected with standardization.The system training of graduate and post-graduate students is impossible without interaction with the transport industry (airport, port, railway, city infrastructure).In this article, we want to show some standards for education.In that sense, we have to exchange teaching aids and our experiences using them, to stimulate mobility of our teaching personnel, participate in consortia for teaching aids (simulators), building etc.Here we have presented some experiences from Saint-Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation (SUAI) in Russia and Maritime Department of The University of Dubrovnik in Croatia.

Primjer specijalista u sektoru pomorskog obrazovanju na Sveučilištu u Dubrovniku are PCs with programs provided by shipping company Atlantska Plovidba d.d.Dubrovnik approved by Register.This real equipment helps students to learn many tasks regarding ship's intact stability, damaged stability, strength of ship's construction, influence of change of sea density on ship's draft, draft survey, loading etc.Also, for safety purpose education we have Poseidon Communication Simulator produced by Norwegian company from Lofoten.Posedon is PC based simulator with elements similar to current onboard equipment with implemented mathematical models of behavior of communications equipment.Students can practice with typical equipment of own ship and communicate with another ships or with Coast Stations and Land Earth Stations distributed on different position in the world.It enables simulation of specific safety problems in emergence situations related to different scenarios and different hydro meteorological conditions.
Other equivalent teaching aids, simulators, videos, CD-ROMs, CBT's may be used as deemed fit by the instructor.
