Instead of Introduction - 2 l Where are we now (August 2004. )?

Instead of Introduction - 3 l What we have to reach until the October 1 st 2004. ?

Environment l University of Belgrade – – – l 30 faculties About 70. 000 students About 5. 000 professors and assistants Faculty of Electrical Engineering – – 10 departments 7 profiles (divisions, degree programs, different curricula) 4. 000 students 145 full-time and 77 part-time professors and assistants

History l l l l l 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 l From 1948: – – – 14. 846 students received BSEE degree 1. 687 graduate students received MSEE degree 450 candidates received Ph. D degree About 3. 500 engineers work abroad About 600 students enrolls Faculty of EE per year About 45 students enrolled SE this year

Background l Department for Computer Engineering and Informatics (CEI) – – l Profile CEI – – – l 12 professors (full-time) 6 teaching assistants (full-time) 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 l 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 l l l Some CS/IT departments at state faculties (Uo. B) Faculty of computing – private faculty Faculty for information systems and technology - private

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

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

SE Profile - Conditions l 8 semesters studies >BS. SE (dipl. ing. ) 240 ECTS credits – l l Subject duration: 1 semester (with no exception) Classes per week: – l l 2 (lectures) + 2 (exercises) + 1 (laboratory) Number of – l “side exit”: engineer degree after 3 years 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
