Evolutionary Game Theory BMETE15MF11 Exam 3 The main goal of this course is to demonstrate the ways how the game theory and evolutionary game theory describe real-life situations affecting human behavior, economics, and biological systems. After a brief survey of the basic concept of the traditional game theory (e.g., games, strategies, Nash equilibrium, etc.) we will study evolutionary games that combine the concepts of game theory with the spirit of Darwinism. We will discuss the decomposition of games and also the potential games related to physical systems. Using simple multi-agent mathematical models we will investigate the effects supporting the maintenance of cooperative behavior in the situations of different social dilemmas (e.g., prisoner's dilemma or public goods game) when the individual interests prefer defection to cooperation. The predictions of the mathematical models will be contrasted with human and animal experiments. Finally we study systems where the evolution is controlled by the competition between different spatial strategy associations.
Facility Management BMEEPEK0633 Exam 2 The goal of the subject is to present theory of Facility Management, introduction of Cost Efficiency concepts.

Formal Methods BMEVIMIMA26 Mid-term mark 5 Formal Methods
As the complexity of computer systems and the risk of their potential failures are increasing, it becomes more and more important to prove that the design and implementation of critical system components are correct (error-free). One of the typical solutions for the challenge of provably correct design is the application of formal methods: formal models provide a precise and unambiguous specification of requirements and construction of design models; formal verification allows the checking of design decisions and proof of properties; and the verified models allow automated software synthesis. The subject provides an overview of the background that is needed for the construction and analysis of the formal models of IT components and systems, including the most important modelling languages, as well as the related analytical and simulation-based verification methods. The subject demonstrates the application of formal methods in the field of requirement specification, system and software design, model based verification, and source code synthesis.
Students who successfully fulfil the requirements of the course will be able (1) to understand and apply various formal methods, (2) to construct formal models based on informal system descriptions, (3) to understand the advantages and limitations of formal verification techniques, (4) to apply tools that support the application of formal methods.

History of Architecture 2. (Antiquity) BMEEPETA201 Mid-term mark 3 The intended task of the subject is to investigate the evaluation and formation of the European architecture of the four main cultures as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. Before introducing to the evaluation of architecture we are speaking the used building materials and the structures involved. The presentation of architecture follows chronological order, analysing the functional expectation of the building types used. In Mesopotamia we discuss the space demands of the sacral, the dwelling and the palace architecture. The analysis makes possible to prove the early use of space systems in architecture. The accented topic in Egypt is the evaluation of monumental architecture in stone. It is important to understand, that the later funerary buildings are not unique architectural constructions, but part of a composition. The Hellenic and the Roman civilisation is basically an urbanistic culture. That is the reason, that both cultures are discussed through their developments in settlements. The analysis of Hellenic temple construction gives opportunity to discuss the evaluation of the Greek and Roman orders.

BMEEPET0408
The course presents, exposes and explains the most important constituent facts, selected from the innumerable different intellectual reflections of the twentieth century and the second millennium, as a rich and simultaneous interplay of parallel stories, either promoting, or opposing each other. It doesn’t interpret history as a homogeneously evolving story, emerging from the past, but at the same time, it doesn’t deny the importance and operative function of creating histories. Instead of a simple, successive presentation of well-known historical facts, or a collection of fashionable notions, topics and themes, it rather concentrates on exploring their synchronic functional relationships and finding creative and relevant conclusions.

Aim
The course aims to study the environmental impact of energy production systems. Students learn the basic concepts, standards, most commonly used types and areas of application of life cycle assessment (LCA). In their semester project assignment, students determine the environmental impact of an energy system of their choice using life cycle assessment methodology. Within the framework of their project task, they learn to use the software required for modern life cycle analysis (e.g. openLCA, GaBi, EASETECH). 
Learning outcomes Competences that can be acquired by completing the course
Knowledge
The student is aware of the principles and importance of a life cycle approach. Knows the basic concepts of life cycle assessment (LCA), the most commonly used types and standards. Has comprehensive knowledge of life cycle assessment methodology. The student is informed about the environmental quantities typical of energy production and user (production) facilities. Knows the databases, models and software that can be used during life cycle assessment. Understands the dangers of shifting impacts between different environmental impact categories. The student is aware of the basic environmental mechanisms of different environmental impact categories. Understands the application areas of life cycle assessment and the specifics of each area for LCA. The student is informed about the range, types, and availability of primary and secondary data that can be used in a life cycle assessment. Understands the process of critically reviewing the results of life cycle assessment and the methods of assessing data quality.
Ability
Describes real technology systems with life cycle models. The student is able to assess environmental impacts in multiple ways. The student can identify complex environmental problems, explore, formulate and (using learned practical application) the theoretical and practical background needed to analyze them. The student solves complex, computationally intensive tasks using IT skills. The student can express his or her thoughts orally and in writing. Interprets the results of a life cycle assessment (LCA). Creates the conceptual life cycle model using the appropriate target software. Selects secondary data sources and databases for the life cycle model. Defines the life cycle boundaries of energy systems. Use the life cycle assessment results in the application areas that meet the set goals.
Attitude
The student constantly monitors his or her work, results and conclusions. The student expands his or her knowledge of energy management and sustainability through continuous learning. Open to the use of information technology tools. The student seeks to learn about and routinely use environmental tools needed to solve energy management problems. The student develops the ability to provide accurate and error-free problem solving, engineering precision and accuracy. The student applies energy efficiency, sustainability and environmental awareness in solving life cycle assessment tasks. The student monitors changes in legislation. The student publishes his or her results under professional rules. The student publishes his or her opinions and views without offending others.
Independence and responsibility
Collaborates with the instructor and fellow students to expand knowledge. Accepts well-founded professional and other critical remarks. In some situations, as part of a team, the student works with his or her fellow students to solve tasks. Based on his knowledge and analysis, the student makes a responsible, well-founded decision. The student feels responsible for energy, the problems of energy management and the sustainable use of the environment, and present and future generations. The student is committed to the principles and methods of systematic thinking and problem solving.
Teaching methodology During the teaching of the subject, the lecture and the laboratory practice are separated in terms of content and methodology. The lectures basically introduce students to the information defined by the knowledge competence elements using the technique of frontal education. Lectures include pre-published slide shows so students can add their own notes to the lecture. The lectures and the main (online) available written study materials complement each other and are insufficient to achieve adequate preparation. Independent laboratory practical sessions with a different theme from the lectures and the method of the mirrored classroom promote the application and skill-level acquisition of knowledge. During the laboratory internships, the knowledge previously acquired at home, independently, is solved partly jointly and partly individually with the help of the laboratory internship supervisor. The project task to be prepared in groups of 2-3 people also includes a presentation (life cycle model).

However, over the last 5 years the speed of change with respect to legal requirements, market consolidation, business models and technology changes has factually exploded. Emerging countries like India, Brazil and China have defined a sequence of legislative rules for new safety standards requiring ESP and new ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). European legislation is focusing on emission reduction, functional safety requirements as well as cyber security standards. A former fragmented market with numerous small regional truck manufacturer is consolidating to a few global and regional players, driving purchasing power and technical standardization. At the same time, driver shortage and continuously increasing costs for trucks and infrastructure demand automated solutions. In consequence, new safety standards, Connectivity and Highly Automated Driving solutions as well as E-Mobility and emission reduction systems are going to be developed within the next 5 to 7 years, each region setting a different focus and timeline.  
The challenges could not be greater. Due to the possibility of setting technical and business standards, time to market becomes crucial. Concurrently, the focus on talents has shifted from the classical mechanical expertise towards electrical, software and system engineering. To manage the challenges, new organizational and management approaches need to be implemented.
The highlighted topics to be discussed are the business, ecological and social factors, the legal framework conditions, as well as technical management, structural and organizational change needs. The lectures of the semester are organized into 4 blocks, each of which is 3 x 1:30 long, with 2 x 10-minute breaks between them. Another 2 x 1:30 sessions are reserved for the exam and one retake option.

Urban Landscape / Garden and Landscape Design in the Perspective of Architecture BMEEPUIQ705 Mid-term mark 3 The "Landscape Architecture" and the "Sustainable and Liveable Cities" courses form a common module. Both courses are held on Fridays between 12 and 3 p.m., but do not overlap; instead, they alternate every two weeks. As part of the module, we recommend taking both courses in parallel.
The urban landscape is an interdisciplinary theoretical concept in which the concepts of landscape, open space, and garden architecture appear in close symbiosis with architectural and urban architecture approaches. For this reason, interdisciplinary interpretations of the concept can be developed primarily in the interprofessional dialogue, from the comparison of different positions and visions. The aim of the subject is the complex interpretation of the concept of the urban landscape, the search for connections between the concepts of architecture, urban architecture and related disciplines. In its multi-scale methodology, the subject examines the interpretation of the urban landscape as both an ecological and social issue. During the semester, the emphasis is placed on the theoretical and practical problems of the urbanized landscape, interprofessional dialogue with invited specialist speakers, and joint site visits.The theme of the course analyzes the transformation along the three lines of "positions, visions, concepts", which can also be understood as a model of landscape theory, through which the urbanized landscape and the green areas and gardens appearing in the urban environment can be examined from the viewpoints of different disciplines (landscape architect, garden designer, urban architect, architect, etc.) , problems of parks. Contemporary horticulture and landscape architecture projects are presented by invited speakers, with particular attention to their practical experience gained during creative work. On each occasion, the theoretical perspectives of the urban landscape are shaped by a series of scale changes emerging from different concepts. The concept of the urbanized landscape appearing in the contemporary literature directs attention to the new qualitative dimensions that try to interpret the changes in territories that are becoming malleable, borders that are blurring, and territorial identities that are getting mixed up. The ever-changing, ever-changing landscape, the ever-stronger landscape-shaping role of humanity requires new approaches to the relationship between landscape and architecture.The motto of the subject also assumes the active participation of the students, in connection with the topic of the lectures, during the semester it is possible to present individual analyzes of the raised landscape problems. The core of the occasions is shaped by joint conversations and the discussion of different points of view arising in connection with the topics.

BMEEPET0408
The course presents, exposes and explains the most important constituent facts, selected from the innumerable different intellectual reflections of the twentieth century and the second millennium, as a rich and simultaneous interplay of parallel stories, either promoting, or opposing each other. It doesn’t interpret history as a homogeneously evolving story, emerging from the past, but at the same time, it doesn’t deny the importance and operative function of creating histories. Instead of a simple, successive presentation of well-known historical facts, or a collection of fashionable notions, topics and themes, it rather concentrates on exploring their synchronic functional relationships and finding creative and relevant conclusions.

Hungarian Historic Buildings in Context BMEEPET0801 Exam 2 Hungarian Historic Buildings in Context is an elective subject for architecture students learning in the English language. Its objective is twofold: on the one hand, the comprehensive exploration and study of the historically significant buildings featured in the lectures offers students who are already somewhat familiar with the history of architecture in Hungary further in-depth analysis. On the other hand, by getting to know the selected key monuments of architectural history, the guest students who choose the subject can gain a comprehensive insight into Hungarian architectural culture. The thematic outline of the lectures serves as an architectural historical framework in which we study the topic"s most important domestic key monuments, emphasized in the context of European architectural relations and placed in the historical, social and cultural context of domestic architecture.
Students - mainly those participating in training courses in English and the Erasmus exchange program - can get to know the building(s) through a historical typological analysis presentation and possibly a building visit, sometimes with the participation of an invited building researcher who is in-depth on a narrower topic. By completing the subject, the international student can adapt our architectural culture to the previously acquired knowledge of universal architectural history through the key concepts of Hungarian architectural history.

Urban Landscape / Garden and Landscape Design in the Perspective of Architecture BMEEPUIQ705 Mid-term mark 3 The "Landscape Architecture" and the "Sustainable and Liveable Cities" courses form a common module. Both courses are held on Fridays between 12 and 3 p.m., but do not overlap; instead, they alternate every two weeks. As part of the module, we recommend taking both courses in parallel.
The urban landscape is an interdisciplinary theoretical concept in which the concepts of landscape, open space, and garden architecture appear in close symbiosis with architectural and urban architecture approaches. For this reason, interdisciplinary interpretations of the concept can be developed primarily in the interprofessional dialogue, from the comparison of different positions and visions. The aim of the subject is the complex interpretation of the concept of the urban landscape, the search for connections between the concepts of architecture, urban architecture and related disciplines. In its multi-scale methodology, the subject examines the interpretation of the urban landscape as both an ecological and social issue. During the semester, the emphasis is placed on the theoretical and practical problems of the urbanized landscape, interprofessional dialogue with invited specialist speakers, and joint site visits.The theme of the course analyzes the transformation along the three lines of "positions, visions, concepts", which can also be understood as a model of landscape theory, through which the urbanized landscape and the green areas and gardens appearing in the urban environment can be examined from the viewpoints of different disciplines (landscape architect, garden designer, urban architect, architect, etc.) , problems of parks. Contemporary horticulture and landscape architecture projects are presented by invited speakers, with particular attention to their practical experience gained during creative work. On each occasion, the theoretical perspectives of the urban landscape are shaped by a series of scale changes emerging from different concepts. The concept of the urbanized landscape appearing in the contemporary literature directs attention to the new qualitative dimensions that try to interpret the changes in territories that are becoming malleable, borders that are blurring, and territorial identities that are getting mixed up. The ever-changing, ever-changing landscape, the ever-stronger landscape-shaping role of humanity requires new approaches to the relationship between landscape and architecture.The motto of the subject also assumes the active participation of the students, in connection with the topic of the lectures, during the semester it is possible to present individual analyzes of the raised landscape problems. The core of the occasions is shaped by joint conversations and the discussion of different points of view arising in connection with the topics.

Sociology BMEGT43A002 Mid-term mark 2 This course will give students an introduction to sociology by discussing a subject that concerns all of us: the global financial crisis and the ensuing Great Recession (or Slump) whose dire consequences continue to affect the world economy to this day. The objective is to equip students with the tools required to make sense of this crisis in its complexity. A further consideration, specific to engineering and economics students is that a sociological study of the Great Recession provides valuable insights into the social determinants of innovations, most prominently technological and financial. Learning about these issues will also help them develop a basic understanding of late capitalism. They will find that the major subjects in sociology like power, cultural values, violence, symbolic goods, anomy, collective action, etc. touch upon things that profoundly impact our lives without us being aware of their implications. The craft of sociology is to depart from conventional notions by asking hard questions about these things using the methods of rational inquiry.

Synergy of Engineering and Business: The Disruptive Transformation of the Truck Industry as a case study 1. BMEKOKKBsM8001-00 Mid-term mark 3 The truck industry has been the steady, slow changing backbone of the logistic industry for decades. 70% of the goods shipped on land are transported by trucks. Technologies, market players and business models has changed and developed slowly, gradually, and evolutionary. With 20 times the weight and 5 times the lifetime of a passenger car, the requirements for the reliability and safety of a truck have defined industry standards, worldwide.
However, over the last 5 years the speed of change with respect to legal requirements, market consolidation, business models and technology changes has factually exploded. Emerging countries like India, Brazil and China have defined a sequence of legislative rules for new safety standards requiring ESP and new ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). European legislation is focusing on emission reduction, functional safety requirements as well as cyber security standards. A former fragmented market with numerous small regional truck manufacturer is consolidating to a few global and regional players, driving purchasing power and technical standardization. At the same time, driver shortage and continuously increasing costs for trucks and infrastructure demand automated solutions. In consequence, new safety standards, Connectivity and Highly Automated Driving solutions as well as E-Mobility and emission reduction systems are going to be developed within the next 5 to 7 years, each region setting a different focus and timeline.  
The challenges could not be greater. Due to the possibility of setting technical and business standards, time to market becomes crucial. Concurrently, the focus on talents has shifted from the classical mechanical expertise towards electrical, software and system engineering. To manage the challenges, new organizational and management approaches need to be implemented.
The highlighted topics to be discussed are the business, ecological and social factors, the legal framework conditions, as well as technical management, structural and organizational change needs. The lectures of the semester are organized into 4 blocks, each of which is 3 x 1:30 long, with 2 x 10-minute breaks between them. Another 2 x 1:30 sessions are reserved for the exam and one retake option.

Evolutionary Game Theory BMETE15MF11 Exam 3 The main goal of this course is to demonstrate the ways how the game theory and evolutionary game theory describe real-life situations affecting human behavior, economics, and biological systems. After a brief survey of the basic concept of the traditional game theory (e.g., games, strategies, Nash equilibrium, etc.) we will study evolutionary games that combine the concepts of game theory with the spirit of Darwinism. We will discuss the decomposition of games and also the potential games related to physical systems. Using simple multi-agent mathematical models we will investigate the effects supporting the maintenance of cooperative behavior in the situations of different social dilemmas (e.g., prisoner's dilemma or public goods game) when the individual interests prefer defection to cooperation. The predictions of the mathematical models will be contrasted with human and animal experiments. Finally we study systems where the evolution is controlled by the competition between different spatial strategy associations.

Random Matrix Theory and Its Physical Applications BMETE15MF10 Exam 3 Random matrix theory provides an insight of how one can achieve information relatively simply about systems having very complex behavior. The subject based on the knowledge acquired in quantum mechanics and statistical physics together with some knowledge of probability theory provides an overview of random matrix theory. The Dyson ensembles are defined with their numerous characteristics, e.g. the spacing distribution, the two-level correlation function and other quantities derived thereof. Then the thermodynamic model of levels is obtained together with several models of transition problems using level dynamics. Among the physical applications the universality classes are identified in relation to classically integrable and chaotic systems. The problem of decoherence is studied as well. Then the universal conductance fluctuations in quasi-onedimensional disordered conductors are investigated. Other models are investigated: the disorder driven Anderson transition and the random interaction model of quantum dot conductance in the Coulomb-blockade regime. We use random matrix models to investigate chirality in two-dimensional and Dirac systems and the normal-superconductor interface. The remaining time we cover problems that do not belong to strictly physical systems: EEG signal analysis, covariance in the stock share prize fluctuations, mass transport fluctuations, etc.

Formal Methods BMEVIMIMA26 Mid-term mark 5 Formal Methods
As the complexity of computer systems and the risk of their potential failures are increasing, it becomes more and more important to prove that the design and implementation of critical system components are correct (error-free). One of the typical solutions for the challenge of provably correct design is the application of formal methods: formal models provide a precise and unambiguous specification of requirements and construction of design models; formal verification allows the checking of design decisions and proof of properties; and the verified models allow automated software synthesis. The subject provides an overview of the background that is needed for the construction and analysis of the formal models of IT components and systems, including the most important modelling languages, as well as the related analytical and simulation-based verification methods. The subject demonstrates the application of formal methods in the field of requirement specification, system and software design, model based verification, and source code synthesis.
Students who successfully fulfil the requirements of the course will be able (1) to understand and apply various formal methods, (2) to construct formal models based on informal system descriptions, (3) to understand the advantages and limitations of formal verification techniques, (4) to apply tools that support the application of formal methods.
