Hungary - situating in the centre of the continent - is one of the most loaded transit country in Europe. There are many TEN-T corridors crossing the country. The external cost coming from the heavy road transport is very high. On the other hand there are other eco-friendly transport modes available like railway or inland navigation. In the general approach navigation is an untrustworthy technology and has uncertain capacity. The present study tries to change this opinion bringing new turn of mind. There are more way to define the waterway capacity. Because of the dynamic hydrological changes the cross-section has no stability, like road or railway cross-section. The paper shows these differences and deals with ,theoretical and planned capacity ,capacity factors ,flexibility analysis ,question of measure units ,time factor.

In the paper we discuss the course history, the basic goals and principles defined at the beginning, and we talk about its methodology. For the “Complex project” course the main parts of the lecturer's job are the detailed preparation of the project tender, the operative support of the students' work, and they also have to perform the mid-semester and end-of-semester evaluations. Continous progress is controlled by milestones laid out throughout the program. The effectiveness of the “Complex project” can be determined based on the previous years, and the future possibilities will also be examined. Besides elevating the level of education from the students' perspective, at the same time it also improves the lecturers' competences.
