Objectives
The aim of the course is to prepare engineers for continuous professional development and a conscious and sustainable professional life. Within the scope of the course, students will become familiar with the basics of personality typology, in order to recognize their own and their partner's behavior while forming a network of relationships. Conferences will be shared as prominent professional and relationship nodes and structures of engineering life. Students will try out conference preparation, participation and evaluation through one of the conferences that also deal with sustainability topics (such as Sustainable Economy 2030, the Budapest Climate Summit, Cognitive Mobility or the EELISA sustainability workshop). In the second half of the course, we will deal with CV writing and the basics of LinkedIn profile creation, highlighting the importance of displaying green aspects on these platforms. These are important elements of maintaining a professional network of relationships. The practical sessions include the processing of professional literature (video material, books, etc.), consultation of individual tasks and discussion of common task parts: - Foundations of relationship building, - Conscious professional "self-branding" building, - Acquiring basic self-awareness, - Getting to know the basic logic of professional conferences, - Types of conferences, basics of choosing between sections, - Effective and prepared participation in conferences from both a professional and relationship perspective with reflection. Based on the practical sessions, with the help of instructor guidance, students prepare professionally for a conference: by prioritizing articles, filtering, and processing selected articles. This is followed by participation in a conference, followed by a professional and individual evaluation of this combined with instructor consultation.

Teaching methodology
During the course, frontal knowledge transfer is applied to a small extent, typically when introducing individual topic areas. Students solve online tests, and the evaluation takes place in small groups and then together. Preparing for the conference is individual work, and participating in the prepared conference is a prepared, live opportunity to practice previously prepared network builing situations. Writing the reflection is done alone, and sharing experiences in small groups and then in a plenum. Creating a CV and LinkedIn page starts with frontal sharing, which is followed by individual work and then by drawing lessons together. The process is concluded with individual consultation opportunities.

General Rules
The basic requirement for students is to attend lectures, absences are accepted as per the regulations of the CoS. Participation in a conference agreed in advance within the framework of the subject, and reflection on this in the manner learned. The grade is determined based on the reflection. In justified cases, conference participation can be replaced at a conference proposed by the student and accepted by the instructor.
Performance assessment methods
Detailed description of assessments conducted during the study period: Formative assessment (practical task): preparation of a conference preparation material based on the knowledge, skills, attitude, and independence and responsibility competence elements acquired during the course, which is evaluated and expanded after the conference participation. The preparation material must be sent to the instructor before the conference, and the reflection must be sent to the instructor no later than two weeks after the conference. The assessment criteria: thoroughness of the preparation material, quality of the summary of experiences and learning points.
