6 7 Introduction
The traditions related to electronics in Latvia are significant and deep-rooted. Major industrial electronic enterprises, such as VEF, Radiotehnika un Alfa used to work in Riga, requiring specialists to be prepared by the educational institutions of Latvia. Currently, there are a number of small and medium enterprises in Latvia involved with designing of microelectronic devices (Hanzas Elektronika, SAF Tehnika, Mikrotīkls and others). Information is available that the specialists in the field of electronics are in demand at the European labour market. Besides, research and educational institutions require specialists in electronics capable to conduct research and do pedagogical work. Methods to design electronic devices differ from those made use of 10-20 years ago, when the projects were worked out manually, after that a mock-up was made and tested making use of measurement equipment such as testers, oscillographs etc.), which subsequently were verified to minimize errors. Presently, the range of electronic components available has changed; which means that the project developers have at their disposal instead of transistors, resistors etc. of an earlier time, the so-called microchip comprising millions of components. This allows designing complex schemes on a single microchip. Such work cannot be performed manually. The process of design must be computerised. Besides, measurements for error minimization cannot be performed in the microchip environment. Testing should be performed based on computer modelling and testing. The goal of the programme is to prepare for Latvia, Europe and other countries of the world competitive IT specialists capable to work in a range of enterprises as well as to pursue education in master studies and doctor studies, to conduct research and perform pedagogical activities. Objectives of the study programme: 1) To offer the students the the opportunity to acquire knowledge in mathematics and computer science; 2) To equip the students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in software developments; 3) To develop with the students awareness concerning computer-aided design/ enginering systems and computer-aided design; 4) to equip the students with knowledge / comprehension/ awareness in computer systems development; 5) To equip the students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in modern microelectronics; 6) Based on state of art developments, to train the students in microelectronic chip computer- aided design Content-wise the study programme was designed to meet the above objectives. The field of computer-aided design is rapidly changing and transforming. For that reason the study programme is designed as an academic programme, not a professional one, in order to equip the students not only with the fundamental theoretical knowledge in the branch of science enabling they to actually function in the chosen field, but also lay the foundations for further expansion and amplification of the knowledge and skills. In order to promote the competitiveness of our graduates abroad the study programme intends to use in the study process textbooks published in Europe and USA, and deliver several study courses in English. The Director of the study programme has had experience in teaching the respective courses and conducting research in foreign universities in the Netherlands, UK, and South Korea.
8 The students having successfully completed the study programme will become qualified specialists in computer science possessing the following characteristics:
- skills and abilities to program in various programming languages and Professional competence operating systems; - ability to design, making use of computer systems and programming languages; - the ability to deal with design algorithms; - skills and understanding in modern computer systems architecture; - skills and abilities in application of modern designing methods; Communicative - ability to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients; competence - basic skills of an effective public speaker - ability to use the acquired foreign language in professional situations; Language competence - ability to use specialist literature in foreign languages; - ability to create a presentation for foreign partners; - ability to collaborate with foreign colleagues; - ability to use reference books, data books, encyclopedias, and various dictionaries; Learning competence - ability to find and select the information needed in a professional situation; - ability to develop professional skills and amplify knowledge making use of various information resources; - skills and abilities to choose, select, and arrange the information necessary for work; - skills and abilities to take part in various professional competitions, seminars and conferences

Comparison of the study programme with study programmes delivered at other higher establishments in Latvia
The study programme is compared with the study programme “Bachelor of natural science in computer science” offered at Transport and Telecommunication Institute (TSI) (table 3). Table 3
Higher Study programme Distribution across Education the blocks (%) Credit Establishment A B C points TSI Bachelor of natural 71 23 6 160 (Transport& science in computer Telecommunication Institute) science BIA Computer-aided design in 64 31 5 120 microelectronics
On comparison of the two study programme one can clearly see that the Block A study courses are similar in both programmes. The number of the study course comprising Block B in BIA programme is smaller compared to TSI study programme, while the specific weight of the courses is greater and content-wise they are more oriented towards computer-aided design.
Study programme comparison with study programmes offered in other EU states
13 The Bachelor study programme is compared with the study programmes concerned with computer-aided design implemented at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VTU, Lithuania) and University of Newcastle (UNL, UK) (table 4). It should be noted that VTU offers 4-year Bachelor programme, while UNL implements 3-year studies providing for the award of Bachelor degree. In order to carry out the comparison the study courses in the programmes are divided into groups, such as: MC – courses devoted to mathematics and physics; CC – courses concerned with computer; MEC – courses devoted to microelectronics; EC – courses devoted to economics and other courses in social science and liberal arts; LC – language courses. The study courses divided into groups and compared with the respective groups of courses in other study programmes are given in the Table, where also the specific weight of the courses in CP can be viewed. As the table shows, in our programme the list of the study courses in MC group is more detailed than in VTU or NCL. Also, the BIA programme has more courses in the groups CC and EC. The specific weight in CP of the groups of study courses at BIA is approximately the same as at VTU and NCL except for the MEC group, where the CP specific weight of the study courses in BIA programme is twice smaller than at VTU and NCL. However, the CP specific weight of BIA CC group of study courses is almost twice greater than at VTU, which is in tune with our intention to design a programme with concentration on computerization (and not electronics).

Public information and promotional efforts
The study programme jointly with other BIA study programmes holds public information and promotion and campaigns according to preliminary plans and strategy. The campaign comprises a number of strands and is targeting the following audiences: high school graduates; their parents; individuals with secondary education and vocational secondary education; school teachers.
To market the study programme and create awareness about it in the course of the promotional campaign the following mass media are used in the LR and regions: TV, radio, and the press.Open door and information days are held. Starting from February till May, representatives of the study programme organize meetings with high school pupils at schools. During the meetings, the school pupils gain detailed information concerning the study process and the admission requirements. BIA Rector, heads of the programmes, employees and BIA students take part in the open-door days held by the Academy. The heads of the programmes and students on the regular basis take part in the annual exhibition “Skola”, held in Riga and other cities and towns of Latvia: Daugavpils, Liepāja, Rēzekne, Valmiera, and similar exhibitions in Viļnius, Tallinn, St-Petersburg, and Moscow. 15 To create awareness concerning the study programme advertisements and communications are placed in the following media: radio channels PIK, Mix FM 102,7, radio SWH; printed editions: collections “Augstskolas Latvijā”, “Izglītība ārzemēs”; periodical: “Digital Times”, “O & K”, ”Lauku avīze”, „Neatkarīgā rīta avīze”, “Diena”, “Latvijas santīms”, “Mērķis”, “Вести сегодня”, “Телеграф”, “Даугавпилс”, „Oбразование и карьера”; regional television channels: in Līvāni, Daugavpils, Dagda, Smiltene, Ogeē, Dobele, Talsi, Mālpils. catalogues “Izglītības ceļvedis”. Promotional booklets.
Financing the study programme
Financing of the Bachelor study programme comes from: financing from the founders; tuition fee paid by the students (see Table 5); income from the research activities; donations and charity.
Financial standing of BIA is secure (see Appendix 5.). At the end of each fiscal year the income exceeds the expenditure. The turnover cost-effectiveness in is 15-20%, and for a private educational establishment in Latvia this is a high figure. Table 5.

Implementation of the study programme Forms and methods of studies In the study programme implementation the following teaching-learning methods are made use of:
Traditional teaching-learning methods:
Theoretical lectures with interactive elements and, if possible, slide demonstration; Laboratory classes, commonly at the compute; Practical classes – problem solving at the desk or at the table with a subsequent discussion of the methods used for the solution.
Independent work of students: written reports presented to the audience; annual / course paper;
16 project elaboration; homework – home assignments.
Technical equipment and information resource used in the study programme
Technical equipment (computers, OHP, projectors etc.) take a significant place in the study programme implementation. Slides are shown during the lectures, also, it is possible to view the lectures delivered by foreign lecturers, which are accessible at the Internet (for example, at http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/6-002Spring- 2007/VideoLectures/index.htm) or video study courses (such as VHDL language video course at http://www.appliedvhdl.com/course/part_one/). Besides, the slides are distributed in electronic form, as well as the guidelines for the laboratory assignments are.
E- study environment
Use of the Internet plays an important role in the study process. In the Internet the students find the information about the time-table, also, the changes in the timetables are accessible at the Internet. Besides, the students actively use the Internet as a source of study materials (to find articles and monographs), for correspondence with the teachers, to get advice from the tutors on the annual papers and from the scientific advisers of their diploma thesis, etc.). Therefore, use of the Internet for the study purposes may be considered as a resource providing for fast exchange of information, an interactive communication channel connecting the students and the teachers. The students’ forum is used by the students to share books, to discuss the approaches how to fulfil the home assignments, to cooperate in finding solutions for complex problems.
Duties and responsibilities of the teaching staff members.
Each academic staff member delivering lectures, holding seminars or practical classes has the following duties and responsibilities:
to formulate the requirements for the end-of-semester or final control (the self- check questions for the course materials and examination questions for the exams or tests), which should be submitted as an integral part of the course description; to compile a list of recommended reading; to assist the students in independent work organization; to take differentiated approach to organize the individual student’s independent work; to encourage the students’ interest for in-depth knowledge in the study discipline concerned to define the volume of the practical assignments in conformity with the study programme; provide methodical aids in delivering the study subject, i.e. create the methodical aids and materials (control assignments, tests, lecture notes, etc.).
In the ac. year 2009/2010 competency-based approach to assess the learning outcomes is actively introduced in the study process.
Work of the teaching staff members with the students – work methods and organization.
17 Semester curricula feature not only lectures, seminars, practical classes, but also teachers’ individual work with the students: scheduled consultations/tutorials and check-ups. Those activities take the following forms: o individual tutorials for the students, the student settling the underachievement debts; o control works or tests (also with the use of computers); o tutorials to help prepare the students to speak at the seminars ; o progress tutorials for the term papers and the diploma thesis elaboration and presentation.
In conformity with the confirmed study programme the teachers in their work with the students use both group-work and individual-work methods. Considerable emphasis is placed on the independent work of the students, such as projects, presentations, creative assignments, compiling the lists of the reading done by the students etc. For the consultations with the students the teachers use the Internet. Through the Internet the students can send their questions and requests for information anytime and receive answers promptly without having to wait for the scheduled consultations.
Multilingual teaching-learning methods
We believe, that the programme graduates will be more competitive both at the local and international labour market if they are fluent in three languages: Latvian, Russian and English. Therefore the students are offered multilingual instruction. The lectures are delivered in Russian, at the same time the slides, literature, methodical aids and manuals are also created in Latvian and English.
Assessment of the students’ achievements
The students’ knowledge and skills are evaluated based on the following forms of control: Tests and exams; Reports, course work, qualification work elaborated and produced by the students; Bachelor paper.
The following types of students’ skills and knowledge assessment on 10-point system.are carried out in the course of the study programme implementation: progressive assessment, end- of–semester assessment and final assessment Progressive: Control works, home assignments, course work, reports. End-of-semester: test and exams during the examination period. Final: Presentation of the qualification work. The students’ knowledge, skills and abilities are evaluated on 10-point system: (10 («with distinction»), 9 («excellent»), 8 («very good»), 7 («good»), 6 («almost good»), 5 («satisfactory»), 4 («almost satisfactory»). Evaluation of the students’ knowledge and skills is carried out as stipulated by the LR MC regulations and the BIA internal regulations The main principles of the students’ knowledge and skills assessment are: positive achievements are summarized and accumulated; evaluation is obligatory; requirements are clear and transparent; form of evaluation are various; evaluation is relevant and adequate.
18 The students are informed about the form of control already at the beginning of the study course, when they are familiarized with the study programme. Students’ knowledge and skills are assessed in all the study courses, project activities, course work, tests and exams. Assessment is carried out based on 10-point system. Exam is a written, oral, or visual form of control of the students’ knowledge, skills and abilities based on a ten-point system. Examination is passed if the evaluation is at least 4 points. Test is a written or oral form of examination of the students’ knowledge, skills and abilities based on a ten-point system. The weight of the exam and test in evaluation earned by the students is as follows: 30%- work during the semester, 70% - exam (test). The types of assessment are determined by the study programme, but the form of evaluation (written or oral) is decided on by the lecturer teaching the specific course. A student is allowed to attempt to pass an exam or a test twice in one specific study course. If the attempts have been unsuccessful, for the third time the students can try and pass the exam or test before a commission. Bachelor paper is evaluated on a 10-point system; the lowest satisfactory evaluation is 4 points. Presentation of the Bachelor paper takes place before a commission carrying out the final evaluation. The following principles are observed in the course of the Bachelor paper presentation and evaluation: presentation of the Bachelor paper takes place at the meeting of the commission carrying out the final evaluation; the commission is made up of at least five people; the commission is made up of the specialists working at the enterprises related to the field or members of the professional associations, heads of the similar programmes, and representatives of BIA; at least 50% of the composition of the commission must be the representatives of enterprises, also the Chairman of the commission must be either a member of a professional association or a representative of the field-related enterprise; the composition of the commission and the Chairman candidature are confirmed by the BIA Rector. The Diploma of Bachelor of natural sciences in computer science is awarded to the graduates who have successfully fulfilled the study programme requirements and have successfully presented the Bachelor paper. The curriculum of the study programme is examined and confirmed by the Programme Director. The quality of the teachers’ work and the contents of the study courses are evaluated by the Methodical Council.
Students’ survey and analysis of the data
Students’ survey at BIA is conducted on a regular basis at the end of each semester. Based on the questionnaires the students evaluate on a ten-point system the work of the teachers, organization of the study process, extra-curricular activities, provision of the study programme with technical equipment, state their wishes and suggestions for the study process improvement. (Fig.1). The questionnaires are filled out on a no-name basis, therefore the students can express their opinions without restraint. The data thus obtained are processed with the aid of computer.

The data obtained in the survey demonstrate that during the first semester the students were adjusting to the new study environment and methods different from the secondary school (Fig. 2). 20 The data obtained in the survey show, that the students on the whole are satisfied with the content of the programme and the quality of teaching (Fig.3). The teachers’ attitude to the students and peer relations ( relations with fellow students) earned a positive evaluation.
Students’ participation in the study process improvement
Internal quality control system (internal audit) is employed at BIA. The main directions of the system are: self-evaluation of the study programme carried out by the Programme Council on a regular basis; audit of the study programme carried out by the BIA Academic Methodical Council with participation of the teachers involved in the study programme and BIA administration; active participation of the students in the quality assurance of the study process.
Students’ participation in the study process improvement takes the following forms: the students’ survey data concerning the study process, quality of teaching, and the wishes of the respondents are taken into consideration while compiling the semester curricula; the students take part in creating schedules for the examination period; Students’ Parliament organizes the students’ life in the Academy and provides the information flow between the administration and the students; A representative from the students is included into the Programme Council Students’ Parliament organizes the students’ free-time activities and events (discotheques, tourist trips, hiking). In the organization of the study process the students’ opinion is significant. The data obtained from the students’ survey are discussed at the meetings of the Programme Council. If some problems become evident from the students’ survey which can be solved jointly with the students, the possibilities for the solutions are discussed with the students.
Study programme administration and management
The study programme administration and management is realized by the director of the study programme “Computer-aided design in microelectronics” Dr.Sc.Ing., ass. prof., I. Lemberskis and Programme Council which convenes on a regular basis and considers issues related to education and study process.
Council of the study programme
Council Chairman– Dr.Sc.Ing., asoc prof., I. Lemberskis Council members – Dr. Phys.Vocišs; Dr. Sc.Ing., doc. J. Žukovska Anna Zemmele, 3rd year student
Quality assurance of the study process is implemented through: open lectures; inspection of studies; visiting of the classes; students’ survey.
21 Feed-back from the students is effected through: regular meetings of the Programme Director with the group seniors; analysis of the students’ survey data; students’ participation in the activities of the Programme Council; regular meetings of the Programme Director with the students self-government.
The Programme Director teaches a number of specialists courses in the study programme, which allows him to be in close contact with the students on the day-to-day basis and expeditiously solve the problems related to the study process as they arise.
Number of the students in the study programme
Currently, the number of the students in the programme is 14 students, including 2 foreign students (1 person from Uzbekistan, 1 person from Azerbaijan). In 2009 7 students were matriculated, in 2008 - 6 students, 3 from whom interrupted the studies for various reasons (health condition, death, financial problems). One student came over from Riga Technical University. In 2007, 3 students were matriculated, who currently are successfully studying and in 2010 intend to present their Diploma theses and be awarded Bachelor degree (Table 6).
The students and the teachers of the study programme take an active part in the exhibition „SKOLA”, information events organised by BIA, Open Door Days, in the meetings at the secondary schools, meetings with the secondary school pupils etc. with the view to increase the number of the students entering the study programme. As the result the number of the students in the programme is continually growing. The dynamics of the students’ number can be viewed in the Table 6.

Material resources, facilities and infrastructure in the study programme implementation
Towards the beginning of the ac. year 2009/2010 the following new technical and technological resources, facilities and equipment were acquired to make provisions for the study process implementation: new computers, printers, scanners, photocopiers, software and other; the computer classes were modernised, BIA information system was developed and put into operation. Important improvements:
Local computer network and access to the Internet have been modified resulting in fast, stable high-security level BIA Intranet); IBN integrated business network Study courses registers and course registers, students’ register, employee register, financial control and management systems have been created.
22 The following resources and facilities are available for the BIA students and teaching staff:
1. Computer classes
Computers equipped with Intel Pentium, Celeron un Apple processors, licensed software, access to the Internet and other functions and systems: - 7 computer classes (154 computers) Lomonosova 4, - 2 computer classes (40 computers) Lomonosova 1/24; licensed software MS Windows, MS Office, antivirus software is installed in all the computers; special software to be used in our study programme is installed in computers: language compilers, platforms and development environment for visual programming languages, integrated software, LABVIEW, WEBPACK, OCTAVE and other. all the computers are connected to the BIA intranet, have access to the resources of the server and the Internet; the students and the employees can use BIA e-mail service; records of the students achievements and financial liabilities; BIA home page is maintained and up-dated, where all the important information concerning the study process (descriptions of the study courses, timetables etc.) is accessible.
2. Communication resources:
Every actual computer address is included into the local computer network thus forming the BIA Intranet domain. Web, DNS, e-mail servers are maintained.
Plans for the programme expansion and development
We believe that the study programme has the essential potentials and will take its rightful place among the study programmes implemented in the LR. Financing for the improvement of the study programme was received in 2010 from European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) according to 3.1.2.1.1 „Modernizing facilities and equipment at higher education institutions to ensure the quality improvement of the study programmes and to ensure access to education for persons with functional disabilities”. Expansion of the number of the students in the programme is an urgent objective the programme is currently facing. The following efforts have been put on the list for the purpose to increase the number of the students:
To create awareness about the study programme in mass media; To pay information visits to schools and inform the high school pupils about the study programme; To take part in the annual exhibition „SKOLA 2011” and other information and promotional events, organised by BIA. Take part in Open Door days.
The financing allocated by the ERDF we are planning to use for:
Modernization and equipment of the computer classes; Purchasing the study books, also in English;
23 Purchasing the study facilities (Spartan-3E FPGA Starter Kit, http://www.xilinx.com/univ/hwboards.htm); Purchasing the licensed software (Labview, Sim and others) required for the computer- aided design purposes.
