Environment University of Belgrade – 30 faculties – About students – About professors and assistants Faculty of Electrical Engineering – 10 departments – 7 profiles (divisions, degree programs, different curricula) – students – 145 full-time and 77 part-time professors and assistants

History 1894: First lectures in electrical engineering at “Great School” 1905: Great School becomes University of Belgrade 1922: First degrees in EE 1935: Mechanical-electrical engineering department 1946: Electrical engineering department 1948: Faculty of Electrical engineering 1971: Department for data processing at faculty of EE 1981: Department for computer engineering and informatics 1986: 1(common) + 4(specialised) years of studies in CEI 2004: established profile of Software engineering

Faculty of EE From 1948: – students received BSEE degree – graduate students received MSEE degree – 450 candidates received PhD degree – About engineers work abroad – About 600 students enrolls Faculty of EE per year – About 45 students enrolled SE this year

Background Department for Computer Engineering and Informatics (CEI) – 12 professors (full-time) – 6 teaching assistants (full-time) Profile CEI – Reformed curriculum last year – About 100 students on state budget per year – About 30 self-financing students per year Profile SE – Up to 100 self-financing students per year

Motivation Probable the ultimate way to survive for EE – Decreased candidate interests for traditional EE – Attractive studies and future jobs in SE field – Good opportunities for employment – Competition Some CS/IT departments at state faculties (UoB) Faculty of computing – private faculty Faculty for information systems and technology - private

CEI Profile Number of subjects: 54 – Number of CEI subjects: 38 Four sub-profiles (the last 3 semesters): – Computer Architecture and Networks – Software Development – Internet Technologies – Information Systems

SE Profile Number of exams: 44 No sub-profiles Curriculum base – IEEE CS & ACM suggestions – Professors’ experience – Available human resources

SE Profile - Conditions 8 semesters studies >BS.SE (dipl.ing.) 240 ECTS credits – “side exit”: engineer degree after 3 years Subject duration: 1 semester (with no exception) Classes per week: – 2 (lectures) + 2 (exercises) + 1 (laboratory) Number of – compulsory subjects and practicums: 22+5=27 – elective subjects and practicums: 14+3=17 (from 34) Up to 50 students per group for lectures Up to 25 students per lab-group Power Point presentations & handouts
