EDUCATION OF ENGINEERS BEFORE AND AFTER THE REFORM Damir Markučičvice dean for students & education
3 years later … • or 5 years later ? • at FSB reformed curricula started in 2003/04 • three studies: • mechanical engineering • naval architecture • aeronautical engineering (since 1995/96)
Figures to be presented comments on former education of engineers approach applied in reformed curricula achieved results & gained experience student’s response concluding remarks
Education of engineers before reform • tradition since 1919 • studies 8/9/10 semesters average duration 7,4 years • academic title - Dipl.Ing. • engineers with FSB diploma distinctly desirable, rated and recognised on the market in Croatia and abroad
Education of engineers before reform • not only teaching but education studying and training • courses organised and carried out to develop engineering abilities So, engineers with FSB diploma have: • solid academic (& scientific) background • developed skills and competences
Education of engineers before reform • not only teaching but education Engineering abilities and responsibilities • ready to accomplish tasks in given period of time using only available resources in certain circumstances (environment) • during lifetime of technical systems including creation/design, construction/production, usage/exploitation, decommissioning/recycling/reuse
Reformed curricula • three cycles 3,5 + 1,5 + 3 years • undergraduate study 7 semesters, 210 ECTS Bachelor degree – e.g. Bachelor of Mechanical Eng. (prvostupnik strojarskog inženjerstva) • graduate study 3 semesters, 90 ECTS Master degree – e.g. Master of Aeronautical Eng. (magistar zrakoplovnog inženjerstva) • doctoral study
Reformed curricula • primary issues / objectives • to refresh programs (structure & content) – better fit contemporary industry needs • to improve efficiency of studying – study regime • to improve QA
Reformed curricula • ECTS introduced • learning outcomes determined • flexibility in study program (structure – mandatory & elective courses) • continuous work of student is evaluated
Student’s response & employability • Number of students’ projects • waterbike • unmanned aerial vehicle • ….
Student’s response & employability • Number of students’ projects • … • formula student
Conclusion remarks • regarding Bologna process @ FSB • skills & competences are not novelty • at the moment hybrid model due to existing resources and environment …. • … to achieve objectives of Bologna model, not only accept formal elements • efficiency of studying is improving • further tuning and improvements to be done
Thank you for your attention ! Hope will know give answers.
