Revision of electrical engineering curricula based on new technologies and Bologna reccomendation

13.10.2004 - 12.10.2007
Research funding project
The main goals of the Project are to revise the current Electrical Engineering (EE) curricula at the Serbian universities in accordance with the Bologna recommendations and recent technological EE advances. We will revise the EE curricula by creating a clear distinction between undergraduate studies (consistent and comprehensive solid educational ground) and the postgraduate studies (highly specialized, up-to date courses having necessary levels of freedom to adopt themselves to new technology developments quickly). To reach the Project goals, the EE faculty from Serbia with the expert help from the carefully selected EU partner institutions will analyse the current EE curricula and take well defined steps to achieve specific objectives. The main steps are: reduce the current 5+3 year EE program to 4+1 year (240+60 ECTS) academic and 3+2 (180+120 ECTS) professional programs, introduce readable degrees comparable to European Higher Educational Area, introduce one semester courses and partition the curricula into core and elective courses, implement a workable credit transfer system compatible with ECTS, implement a workable quality control mechanisms, introduce new courses based on recent technology advances and the needs of the regional development, develop new and up-date the existing teaching materials, and adopt new teaching methodologies through the retraining and up-dating the skills of the teaching staff. The Project results will be disseminated by means of the project web site, written correspondence, an Annual Conference on EE education, and seminars and lectures. The long term goal is to make the outcomes of the Project sustain even after the Project concludes. The sustainability will be achieved by fine-tuning of the EE curricula as the EE technology progresses and regional industry grows, providing the new teaching materials to the students, offering the continuing education to the EE professionals from the region, and making the Annual Conference on EE Education a traditional gathering of the EE faculty and professionals. The main result of the Project will be a revised and modern EE curricula that will be adopted by all Serbian universities.
