1 Experiences of FER-a in the implemetation of the Bologna process
Vedran Mornar November 8th, 2007

2 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

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

4 Is it so?

5 There are ’s

6 Faculty of electrical engineering and computing University of Zagreb

7 University of Zagreb Founded in 1669 33 constituents, 60000 students
So far: graduates magisters 8.000 doctors 50% of scientific production in Croatia

8 FER in numbers Graduate students ~ 4300 Postgraduate students ~ 900
Freshmen each year ~ 650 Graduating students each year ~ 450 Graduated since 1956 (Dipl.Ing.) ~ 15000 Graduated since 1956 (Magister) ~ 2000 Graduated since 1956 (Ph.D.) ~ 500

9 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.

14 Study programs since 2005./2006. 3 + 2 + 3 Bachelor level (3 years)
Electrical engineering and information technology Computing First year common to all the students Specialization in 3. year with course modules

15 Study programs since 2005./2006. Master level (2 years)
Electrical engineering and information technology Automation Control and robotics Electronics Electronical and computer engineering Power systems

16 Master level (2 years) Study programs since 2005./2006.
Information and communication technology Information processing Telecommunications and informatics Wireless technologies

17 Master level (2 years) Study programs since 2005./2006. Computing
Computer engineering Computer science Software engineering and information systems

18 Model of study 20 contact hours per week at the bachelor level
16 contact hours per week at the master level Merging of theory and application Homework / individual work Individual / group projects Continuous assessment Concentrated laboratories 2 midterm exams Final exam

19 Typical assessment scheme
Activity in class 5 points 5 homeworks x 2 points 10 points 1. midterm points 2. midterm points Computer generated quizzes 10 points Final exam 35 points Total points Passing grade: points

20 Calendar

21 Grading scale According to rank in the generation 15% - 5 35% - 4
35% - 3 15% - 2 (ECTS – 10%, 25% 30%, 25%,10%)

22 But how to do it, with > 1000 students in a generation?

23 With help of ICT, of course

24 Adaptive learning

25 Online tests

38 Since 2007 – SMARTX (e-Indeks)

39 New smart card Technical characteristics: Flexibility and security
Visual ID (photo, data, signature) 3 technologies: contactless contact mag stripe Flexibility and security For students (and members of academic community)

40 Technology Choice of functional modules: ID module
Access control module e-indeks PKI module e-wallet ...

41 Attendance control Automation of attendance control
With advanced modules: Records analysis: AHyCo Data exchange with 3rd party IS’s

42 Access control Simple (local) configuration Advanced configurations:
LDAP directories ISVU 3rd party IS’s Libraries, laboratories, dorms,...

43 Student restaurants Subsidized meals
Connection to ISSP Rights management Additional payment module available

44 E-Indeks Reduction of indirect expenses and reduced manipulation time related to “old-fashioned” index procedures Bologna process Student application for home use Condition: Student IS

45 PKI (1)

46 PKI (2)

47 e-wallet Small payments Dorms, bookstores,...

48 e-payment Cooperation with banks and introduction of EMV compatible payment methods

57 Internal evaluation Each instructor should be graded at least once pre year Report is forwarded to instructor and the QM board Grading elements: Teaching Planning Environment management Knowledge transfer Teaching strategies Learning Student motivation Compatibility with students needs Achievements Student reactions Appropriateness of strategies Observations.doc

58 Self assesment At end of term Key points CourseReview.doc Statistics
Efficiency of teaching and learning Resources Advance tracking and student assesment Compatibility of content with student interest and needs Support to students Action plan for next year CourseReview.doc

59 Success comparison

60 Academic year 2006/2007

61 Anomalies 

62 ASIIN - Akkreditierungsagentur für Studiengänge der Ingenieurwissenschaften, der Informatik, der Naturwissenschaften und der Mathematik Only German accreditation agency for engineering, computing, natural sciences and mathematics Acknowledged by German accreditation council (Akkreditierungsrat) International relations with: FEANI - Fédération Européenne d'Associations Nationales d'Ingénieurs Washington Accord – includes ABET, since 1989 EUR-ACE – Project of accreditation of technical programs

63 ASIIN technical committees
TC 1: Mechanical engineering/ Process engineering TC 2: Electrical engineering / Information technology TC 3: Civil Engineering / Surveying TC 4: Informatics TC 5: Phys.Technologies, Materials and Process Engineering TC 6: Industrial Engineering TC 7: Information Management
