Environment

University of Belgrade– 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

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:– 14.846 students received BSEE degree – 1.687 graduate students received MSEE degree– 450 candidates received PhD degree– About 3.500 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
