1 UNIVERSITY OF TUZLA FACULTY OF MINING, GEOLOGY AND CIVIL ENGINEERING STUDY PROGRAM- GEOLOGY

2

3 The University of Tuzla (established by the end of 1976) since its foundation, has been continually growing and developing and now consists 13 faculties. Study program Geology belongs to the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Civil Engineering, Mining college was established into the Faculty as a part of University of Sarajevo in 1960. First post-graduate studies (Study of III level) in the area of Mine geology began in1964. It was the first post graduate studies at Faculty of Mining in the former Yugoslavia. In Bosnia and Herzegovina there was no study of geology, geologist, at that time, were educated at those postgraduate studies. In 1973/1974 academic year study program Applied Geology was formed and Faculty of Mining grown into the Faculty of Mining and Geology. In 1973/1974 academic year study program Applied Geology was formed and Faculty of Mining grown into the Faculty of Mining and Geology.

4 So far at the study program Geology graduated 578 students; 78 master and 28 doctors of science in geology. We are the only Geology study program at both sectors (public and privat) in BiH. Our faculty had three professor, members of the Academy of Science and Art in BiH. Within the past Faculty of Mining, Geology and Civil Engineering has not been involved in this kind of evaluation procedures, except the internal evaluation at the level of University of Tuzla in 2009. There are many weak points we are aware of, but also we are committed to coming changes and feel like that most of us are capable and willing to achieve strategic objectives of the study program.

5 STAFF AT THE GEOLOGY STUDY Study program has the optimal number of teaching staff, but insufficient number of assistants, administration staff and laboratory technicians are employed. On the geology study program, teachers who are employed at other faculties of the University participate in the teaching process. The learning process also involves experts from practice. According to the teaching of scientific collaboration the University of Tuzla and RGGF, signed agreements on cooperation with the universities of Bosnia and Herzegovina and abroad.

7 The regeneration of our faculty, is only possible if we make space for the involvement of new young assistants. The main problem in receiving new assistants is decision not to hire new staff, appointed by the Government of Tuzla Canton due to the recession. We expect a solution to this problem in the coming years, with the improving of the situation in the country. We need to hire several new employees in administration services, but also modernize their operations in order to achieve greater efficiency. Growth administration should monitor the growth of the study program, particularly the development of programs. Missing: officers in the administration department, 2-3 employees in cleaning and maintenance of premises, maintenance workers specialized laboratories and equipment and employees for purposes of libraries.

8 FACILITIES Classes at the Geological study program are conducted in the same teaching rooms as the classes in other study programs of the faculty. Which classrooms are used, depends on the number of students in some study programs. Space for administration, library, hall and toilets are shared by all study programs.

There is a large amount of monograph titles, books, and masters, doctoral and graduate theses in the library archive.

10 Lack of facilities for teaching, facilities for teachers and assistants, as well as space for laboratories. Listed areas are lacking adequate office furniture, equipment, and library reading rooms, adequate equipment and computer center furniture, additional air conditioning of teaching space, adequate equipment for hygiene, adequate tools for the maintenance of laboratory equipment, computer and software system for student service and communication for teachers, staff and students, inadequate electrical and plumbing (the building is more than 60 years). Lack of space for student services, toilets and bathrooms for workers, specialized workshops for students; extracurricular activities, common space for staff, space for archives, the space for storing samples, a space for mineralogical-petrographic collection and storage space.

11 Analyzing the current state of student enrollment in all years and all departments, and that we are planning to enroll next school year, approximately the same number of students, it is obvious that the employees whole faculty will re-encounter with the problem of teaching. Also, if you consider the need for hiring new assistants and new employees, it is obvious that it will be a shortage of office space. There is a lack of the facilities and equipment for libraries and reading rooms, as well as employees for purposes of reading rooms and libraries. Further equipment procurement and improvement of working conditions of staff and students are necessary, but it primarily depends on available funds.

12 QUALITY Vision Geology study program in Tuzla is to become a regional college with recognizable image, which would support the technological development of the Tuzla Canton and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the education of competent, highly qualified staff, as well as providing design and research service for the economy. Mission of Geology study program is to provide students to study at higher education institution that offers quality education, lectures of famous professors and prominent industry experts from country and region. Educating new generations we will be able to respond to the challenges of tomorrow and support the integration of BiH into the European Union. The educational concept of Geology in Tuzla, is based on the European academic standards, which defines the Geology study as the educational and scientific - research institution, which has developed the core scientific disciplines related to the field of natural sciences and mathematics.

13 The Commission for the technical implementation of a survey, conducted a survey for students of Mining, Geology and Civil Engineering at the University of Tuzla, 08.06.2009. Office for Quality on Faculty, conducted a questionnaire of students for the first semester of 2010/2011 school year. The questionnaire showed that a large number of students are satisfied with the curriculum. In the future, after each semester anonymous questionnaires will be carried out. Study program adapts to the needs of users, and also harmonize with the programs that are taught in other European countries and other higher education institutions in the world. Periodic analyses of the curriculum are conducted (every 4 years). Faculty will continue to work on further improving the curriculum of study sections to suit the needs of the economy, solving the problem to the satisfaction of students, the economy and society.

14 Strengths and core strength for the realization of goals and further development of the Geology Department are: - Organization of scientific and professional meetings; - A large number of scientific-research projects supported by the FMO, and the applied projects and studies; FMO, and the applied projects and studies; - Sufficient number of well qualified teaching staff - Continued procurement of laboratory equipment; - Organisation of postgraduate study every year - Selection of teachers from other Universityes, deparmants, firms (referenced associates).
