The Faculty of Transportation Technology and UTEP have been cooperating for more than ten years and the new dual-degree program is the second program of this type between CTU and UTEP. Between 2010 and 2018, its predecessor was a dual-degree Transportation and Logistics Systems program. The new dual-degree Smart Cities program on the part of the Czech Technical University logically connected the Faculty of Transportation Technology and the Faculty of Architecture, which provides subjects dedicated to urbanism in this program.
The CTU-UTEP Digital Twin Lab, which deals with the creation of a digital "twin" city using augmented reality (AR), is now also being set up on the premises of the CTU Faculty of Transportation Technology. The laboratory works with a 3D model of the Prague 6 district, on which the Faculty works closely with both the Prague 6 municipality and the ICT Operator. The laboratory will not only be used for teaching but also for scientific activities, see the related article "UTEP College of Engineering and Czech Technical University Dual Master's Degree Program Strives to Advance Students' Academic Success" published on the UTEP website: https://bit.ly/ 37uQH5t
