The construction industry is one of the sectors of the economy with stable economic growth and sustainable development. Competition in the industry is high, which forces the industry to evolve. One of the critical factors for development is the obtaining or acquisition of innovative construction technologies. Innovations help reduce construction costs, increase construction speed for building and renovation of structure, and simplify certain the construction processes. Technology innovation is required in the construction process and it also drives the development of new building materials. To support development of innovations, attention and effort should be devoted for training of young professionals and corresponding teaching methods. Riga Technical University study course “Management of Innovations in Building Construction” is closely related to economic processes in society. While studying this course, a requirement for finishing a demonstration of students' independent work. Independent work requires the merging in study process, metacognitive, and intellectual skills in the study process and might involve research in several disciplines, providing concepts of integration between different knowledge disciplines and areas. Cross disciplinary research with integration makes function need to find new cross section points and integration with the construction industry. The interdisciplinary knowledge and skills used in the study process can be used in the students' practice activities and work outside the university. Students not only test the correctness of their profession choice in the internship process, they also begin to develop management and innovation experiences. It is important to avoid superficial knowledge in the study and practice process with students to choose one of standard solution. Rigid teaching methods prevents innovative thinking. The key to the innovation process is not to cross the boundary between what is needed and what is desired, between what is desired and what is required. It is important to consider systematicity and sequence in the course. Comprehensive research on innovative construction processes, phenomena and systems sets is closely linked with the set of study objectives.
