MANAGEMENT

 UNIVERSITY LEVEL  FACULTY LEVEL

- Governing Council - Academic Council - Senate - Dean and vice-deans - Rector and vice-rectors - Secretary - General Secretary

10 Organisational structure – present state

• Faculties are still legal bodies • Employment at faculty level • Students’ enrollment at faculty level • Small number of services (offices) at university level (Office for international cooperation, QA office) • Commissions at university level: – For Bologna process – For normative activities – For interuniversity cooperation – For finance, investment and development STUDIES

The studies are composed of following three levels:

3 YEARS Ph.D DOCTORAL STUDY 180 ECTS

1-2 YEARS MASTER STUDY 60-120 ECTS Master

UNDERGRADUATE 3-4 YEARS Bachelor STUDY 180-240 ECTS 12 QUALITY ASSURANCE

YEAR 2003. Started self evaluation process – First self- evaluation report at the university level Student evaluation questionnaires at all faculties

YEAR 2004. First external evaluation by EUA –Visiting of Advisors Program Team

YEAR 2006. Establishment of the Quality assurance office at the university level 13 FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AND COMPUTING

Development of the economy and market imposed the need of more efficient linking scientific research and the education system at all levels.

14 FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - HISTORY AND COMPUTING

In more than 50 years of rich tradition two historical periods in the development and growing are clearly crystallized

• 1959. – 1990 • 1990. – to date FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - HISTORY AND COMPUTING

• 1959. – 1990. • characterized by undergraduate and advanced graduate studies, and by preparation and defending a doctoral dissertations. • 3 majors / production engineering, design, aviation / • highly developed scientific research implemented through a variety of projects FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - HISTORY

• 1959. – 1990.

- close relationship of education, science and economy /Soko, Unis, Energoinvest, Igman, Industrija alata Trebinje i dr./; / around 30% of the income was realized through the collaboration /; – Faculty becomes the Production Engineering Center of BiH, an recognized international symposium organizer („PROMJER“) etc. – /65 employees, the majority of teaching staff / – quality staff from industry were included in HE activities FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - HISTORY AND COMPUTING

• 1990. – to date • three education cycles / /undergraduate, graduate and post- graduate / and two directions /Construction Design and Production Engineering/. • 2002 – initiated Study of Computing FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - HISTORY AND COMPUTING

– 2007. – 2011. – realized 36 projects, 7 dissertations defended and a lot of master works; – significant recognition - together with the Faculty of ME Sarajevo chosen on international call as the body responsible for drafting the Strategy of industrial development in FBiH – become the holder of the QA activities at the University level and computerization of the process in all its segments FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - GOALS AND COMPUTING

– give students professional knowledge to use them in the economy and to create competitive advantages – enable students to govern scientific research methods in order to implement the new production philosophy – enable students to independently do scientific research in order to develop new products – But new economy is characterized by: • unstable turbulent market • complex and highly complex product • integrated production, • high environmental standards, • high expert knowledge; FACULTY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - VISION AND COMPUTING

• become a modern, authoritative HEI included in common higher education area of Europe, which includes the willingness to exchange research results and to be the partner to companies. • in real-time frame educate students ready for product design and modern production, which will increase the competitiveness of their knowledge in the global market. Mechanical engineering study - today

Acad. 2012./2013.

• 150 students enrolled on the first year of Mechanical Engineering • Undergraduate: 4 majors on 3rd year / Construction Design, Production Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering and Menagement / 49 students • Graduate: / Construction Design / 14 students • Postgraduate /Construction Design / 16 students Construction design

Involves the acquisition of theoretical and practical knowledge required to • detailed static and dynamic analysis of structures, • design of components and products, • methodical design, • implementation of modern technology (CAE / CAD / CAM)

23 Construction design
