CURRICULA AND ECTS
Most of the Faculties have undergone the process of
analysis of their existing teaching plan and programme,
made them uniform with the referential surrounding
Faculties and defined ECTS scores
• Certain Faculties are already dealing with the problem
issues of the study cycle defined by the Bologna
Declaration and in that sense are approaching the
restructure of curriculum according to ECTS
• Parallel work on the realisation of the Information
package whose main part would be the examination of
the teaching plan and programme
•

Realised activities at the University of Mostar – West
CURRICULA AND ECTS
• Each Faculty has prepared a new curricula, defined
ECTS scores and made the Information package (ECTS
guide-book)
• The Information package (ECTS guide-book) has been
made at the level of the University
• The following committees were formed by the Senate’s
decision:
– Committee for the implementation of the Bologna
Declaration, curricula and ECTS
– Committee for improving the quality of teaching
process at the University

Introduction of ECTS – case studies
Aims and objectives:
• To provide a good theoretical and practical education for
students who plan to work as computer engineers and a solid
foundation for graduate studies.
• To develop the ability to collaborate and communicate with
colleagues as well as people who are not computer
specialists. On completion of the programme it is expected
that students will be able to work together with a wide range
of computer users, including specialists from other fields.
• To develop relevant understanding of etical considerations
in relation to information and communication technology,
and stimulate critical reflection on development and
application.
• To be able to meet the need for maintenance and user
services, by emphasizing computer communication
/computer networks as well as the operation and
maintenance of computer systems in the study programme.

Introduction of ECTS – case studies
Teaching methods:
Teaching is in the form of lectures, labs and practical
projects, with and without supervision.
Methodology and project oriented approach are
particularly emphasized in this programme.
Many of the subjects also require the completion of
individual projects and group projects.
The faculty makes extensive use of lab work, internet
and web technology in creating an active and
challenging learning environment for the students.
10
Introduction of ECTS – case studies
Structure and activities:
Each year of study is divided into two semesters, with
the following main structure:
Year 1:Basic courses: math, physics and electronics.
Basic computer science courses:
programming
languages, object oriented programming and human
courses:Physical education, Communication skills.
Year 2:Intermediate computer science courses, software and hardware oriented, such as information systems
design and database development, computer graphics,
computer networks, Intermediate math, statistics,
English language and business management for
engineers
Year 3: Specialization in particular areas culminating in
the completion of a main project (small thesis) (3
elective courses).

CURRICULA AND ECTS
The curriculum of undergraduate and graduate computing
study is described in details in tables, from which
timetable of performing and enrollment of courses at the
Faculty is seen. All courses names are given in the
Tables, and P + V (number of lectures and exercises –
auditory/lab/experimental/constructive/practicum). It is
supposed that all courses are performed during the whole
term, that is, for fifteen weeks, so that total number of
classes is determined by previously given facts.
All curriculums contain ECTS as well, which will enable
student and teacher’s mobility within harmonized system
of university education in Europe.

1973 as Engineer of Mechanics. On December 20th 1978 won his M.A. degree at the
Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Shipbuilding in Zagreb. On April 23rd 1983
defended his doctoral dissertation under the title Optimising Efficiency in Metal
processing Industrial systems, at the Mechanical faculty in Mostar. First employed on
March 29th 1973 in Air-condition and Cooling systems factory SOKO Mostar, as
independent technologist constructor. During 1975 elected as assistant at the
Mechanical faculty in Mostar, for the course Technological processes and as such
employed from December 1st 1975. In 1980 became a docent, in 1986 assistant
professor.
In 1990 became a regular professor for the courses Technological
processes and Production and Technology systems. A title of professor confirmed in
2001. In 1995, on forming the Institute for Mechanical Engineering, University of
Mostar, as independent institution, temporarily is engaged as its Principal. From 1999
is again employed at Mechanical faculty in Mostar. Throughout the years of work at

60 Credits = 1 year = 2 semesters of 30 credits each
•
1 Credit = 25-30 working hours
•
180-240 Credits are required for a degree
•
ECTS is geared towards competencies and attaining these
competencies
Learner centered
Credits are allocated for all portions of study (projects, essays,

Learning
outcomes and
competences
The aim of the course is to achieve high standards in reading, writing, grammar
(advanced level). Through reading diverse texts students build their vocabulary and
acquire the knowledge of different aspects of social and cultural life of the English
speaking world. The course also aims at developing student’s learning strategies in order
to enable them to work independently.
By placing the grammatical structure into a complex whole of the grammatical system,
grammatical competence is gradually developed and the student gains an insight into
56
how the English language works. High efficiency will be achieved through permanent
supervision of students’ work. One of the aims of this course is to acquaint students with
English and American culture and civilization.
