This year, there are 22 students from California Polytechnic State University and 12 students from the Faculties of Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering of VGTU. Professor Edmundas Saliklis from California Polytechnic State University and Ignas Daugėla from VGTU will deliver lectures and practical trainings. Students, who pass summer school final exams, will earn seven ECTS credits that will be set off for Geodesy Practices and Structural Mechanics Module or optional Engineering Module.
The students of "VGTU-CalPoly'2015" summer school will have the possibility not only to learn but also to enjoy cultural programme and to know more about Lithuanian history, traditions and culture. They will participate at the excursions and orientation games in Vilnius; will go on weekend trips to Palanga, Nida, Klaipėda and Druskininkai. They will be able to see the Hill of Crosses, Plokštinė Nuclear Missile Launch Site, the Amber Museum of Palanga, the Hill of Witches and other sights in Lithuania.
Not for the first time Professor Edmundas Saliklis is visiting Vilnius Gediminas Technical University. On September 2012, the Professor delivered lectures for the students of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and decided to organize a joint summer school on engineering architecture. Professor Edmundas Saliklis implemented his summer school idea in 2013, when 11 students from California and 8 VGTU students studied at the first summer school. In 2014, the school became even bigger: 18 students from USA and 8 students from the Department of Engineering Architecture and the Department of Bridges and Special Structures of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of VGTU joined the summer school "VGTU-CalPoly".
