Bologna declaration Bologna, 19.6.1999. Goals
Easily recognizable and comparable degrees Diploma supplement 3 cycles Credit system Mobility Quality European dimension in higher education

Two years after “Bologna: Breakdown of the first generation”
“Down minister Primorac, down Bologna” “As many schools, that many Bolognas”

FER in numbers: faculty & staff
Total: 483 Lecturers: 133 Assistants and junior researchers: 160 Other researchers: 66 Staff: 124
10
Total yearly income: 17 M€
Up to 50% of income comes from the open market activities Engineering projects Consulting Life long learning
11
Additional curriculum reform goals
Follow the advance of science and technology Adjust the program to labor market Switch from teaching to learning Give appropriate competencies Satisfy the criteria of international accreditation
12
Competencies Bachelor
analyze and solve engineering problems of moderate complexity participate in a team take part in design of systems and processes in the fields of electrical engineering, information and communication technology and computing, using fundamental knowledge of mathematics, physics, electrical engineering and computing, with contemporary computer tools.
13
Competencies Master analyze and solve complex engineering problems
lead a team design the systems and processes in the fields of electrical engineering, information and communication technology and computing, using advanced knowledge of mathematics, physics, electrical engineering and computing, with contemporary computer tools.
