Civil engineering student council conference

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Civil Engineering Student Councils Conference , shortly BauFaK , is the German Federal student council meeting of the Civil - student councils . It represents the interests of the civil engineering faculties of universities and technical colleges vis-à-vis national institutions from politics, business and the university sector.

Members

The members of the BauFaK are made up of active and former representatives and members of the German-speaking student councils of the construction industry from universities and colleges in Europe, as well as guests.

Course of a conference

The BauFaK meets every semester for a few days (e.g. Saturday noon to Wednesday morning) at an organizing university and is mainly financed by donations from the economy, as well as a participation fee (usually € 50). Current topics from universities, politics and economics, but also internal departmental issues are dealt with in working groups. The results are presented and discussed in plenary sessions and the majority of them adopted as position papers, statements, letters of recommendation or guidelines. A day or half-day of the conference is usually reserved for excursions to regional building sites. In addition, the participants devote themselves to exchanging experiences and maintaining contacts.

Addressees

Typical addressees of the results of a BauFaK are in addition to the student councils of the building industry:

stand-in

In the time between the meetings, the Standing Committee of the Civil Engineer Student Council (StAuB) represents the concerns of the BauFaK. The StAuB takes on the final editing of the results and the dispatch of the papers. In addition, he is responsible for preparing the content of the following BauFaK, maintaining contacts with the committees of other federal student council meetings and supporting the organizing BauFaK with content-related issues. During this time, he is the contact person for politics, business and universities. He is also authorized to act on behalf of BauFaK in the event of current inquiries. In addition, the plenum of BauFaK sends 3 representatives to the Faculty Day for Civil Engineering, Geodesy and Environment, to the Faculty Day Civil Engineering and to ASBau (Board: 1, Technical Committees: 2, General Assembly: 3; 1 vote each). In addition, the BauFaK plenum proposes a voting representative in the ASIIN Accreditation Council.

society

The Association of Friends and Sponsors of the Civil Engineering Student Councils Conference is a non-profit organization in which active and former members of the BauFaK as well as representatives from business are active. The BauFaK-Verein offers the organizing student councils support with organizational problems and questions of financing.

purpose

  • The civil engineering student council conference primarily serves the purpose of representing the interests of civil engineering students from German-speaking countries. By bundling the experience that the student representatives bring with them from their various universities, it creates the space and the opportunity to deal with a range of topics ranging from internal faculty issues such as member recruitment to the highest pan-European issues such as the Bologna reform.
  • Thanks to its structure, BauFaK is also able to act as a point of contact for politics and business if the students are asked to comment on a public issue.
  • A third purpose is the social component of the conference. The biannual cycle enables cross-border networking of students, which on the one hand contributes to the personality and experience of the students, but on the other hand also gives the future employer the opportunity to work in a former BauFaK participant to attract an employee who can contribute to the success of the company through networking
