Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation ERASMUS ECTS Information Package THE ECTS SYSTEM The Information Package provides a description of the University of Ruse, of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation and the courses offered by the Faculty in order to help prospective ECTS students to prepare for their study period at this institution. What is ECTS? ECTS, The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System, was developed by the Commission of the European Communities in order to provide common procedures to guarantee academic recognition of studies abroad. It provides a way of measuring and comparing learning achievements and transferring them from one institution to another. The European Commission promotes the system and the international cooperation between universities as a means of improving the quality of education bringing benefits both to students and higher education itself. In this respect, student exchange is the basic element in university cooperation. Recognition of education and diplomas is the necessary condition for establishing an open European higher education space where students and lecturers can “move” with no restriction. ECTS provides transparency through the following means: ECTS credits which are a numerical value allocated to course units to describe the student workload required to complete them; The Information Package which supplies written information to students and staff on institutions, departments/faculties, the organization and structure of studies and course units; it also provides useful information about the location of the University, its admission procedures, accommodation opportunities, academic calendar, etc. The Transcript of Records which shows students’ learning achievements in a way which is comprehensive, commonly understood and easily transferable from one institution to another; The Learning Agreement covering the programme of study to be taken and the ECTS credits to be awarded for their satisfactory completion, committing both home and host institutions, as well as the student. The ECTS Credits ECTS credits are allocated units to describe the student workload required to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work each course requires in relation to the total amount of work required to complete a full year of academic study at the institution, i.e. lectures, practical classes, seminars, self- study – in a library or at home - and exams or other assessment activities. ECTS credits express a relative value. In ECTS, 60 credits represent the workload of a year of study; normally 30 credits are given for a semester and 20 credits for a term. It is important that no special courses are set up for ECTS purposes, but that all ECTS courses are mainstream courses of the participating institutions, as followed by the home students under normal regulations. Credits are awarded only when the course has been completed and all required examinations or other assessment activities have been successfully passed. Detailed information about disciplines (short description of course contents, teaching methods, types of assessment, etc.) is given in the information package of each degree programme. ECTS Students Students participating in ECTS receive full credit for all academic work successfully carried out at any of the ECTS partner institutions. These credits are transferred to the home university and fully replace the annual/semester workload including exams and other forms of assessment. In this way students can study abroad for a certain period of time and when they come back, they are able to continue their education without any loss of semesters and exams. Some students may also decide to graduate from the host university, and permission for that is given by the academic authorities based upon the student’s transcript of credit points and his/her performance at the home university. 4 Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation ERASMUS ECTS Information Package DATA ABOUT BULGARIA The Republic of Bulgaria is a country situated in South-East Europe.

After squeezing through the Iron Gates gorge and dams between Serbia and Romania, the Danube flows free for 1,000 kilometers through Romania, Bulgaria, Moldova and Ukraine before emptying into the Black Sea. The Lower Danube is one of the longest free-flowing stretches of river in Europe. In 2000, the governments of Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova pledged to work together to establish a green corridor along the entire length of the Lower Danube River.

  • Assessment of the Impact of Geomorphologic and Hydroclimatic Factors on the Flood Hazard in River Basins
    STUDIA GEOMORPHOLOGICA CARPATHO-BALCANICA VOL. XLV, 2011: 121–135 PL ISSN 0081-6434 MARIYANA NIKOLOVA1, VALENTIN NIKOLOV2 (SOFIA) ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF GEOMORPHOLOGIC AND HYDROCLIMATIC FACTORS ON THE FLOOD HAZARD IN RIVER BASINS Abstract: A case study on the Yantra River Basin dynamics under recent climate fluctuations and economic changes is carried out to demonstrate the important role of some geographical factors for successful flood hazard assessment and risk management practices. The number of the extreme rainfalls and related flood events during the last decade grew in the river basin located in the Stara Planina Mountains in accordance with the trends observed in North Bulgaria and Central and Eastern Europe. The use of geoinformation technologies have provided tools for the assessment and mapping of the flood hazard. The settlements’ exposure to flood-related hazards and vulnerable zones in the Yantra River Basin have been indicated. Key words: flood hazard, climate change, river basins INTRODUCTION With the ongoing climate change, the frequency, pattern and severity of flood- ing are expected to change, and become more uncertain and more damaging. Results from the Expected Annual Damage modelling indicate that flood dam- ages related to different climate change scenarios are projected to rise across much of Europe (F e y e n et al. 2006). Current dynamics of climate, land use, economy and population density in a given river basin are some of the main drivers for respective changes of flood hazard dimensions. The Yantra River basin is one of the largest river basins in Bulgaria, with diverse landscape structure and a high degree of economic development.

Surface water assessment is important for number of activities such as: water management in the country, making reports to international agencies, determining the change of the resources in the light of upcoming climate changes. The determination of water resources is based on information of hydrometric stations from the monitoring network system in the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology — Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (NIMH- BAS) in which real ongoing and available water flows that are subject of management are registered. In the study a technology for surface water bodies in the Bulgarian basins of the lower Danube is applied which has been developed in the frame of cooperative project together with the Ministry of Environment and Water. This is absolutely true for the Bulgarian section of the Danube River basin which is expressed in big number and variety of hydrological homogeneous sections. The river flow is characterized with annual and inter-annual variability determined by climatic factors and anthropogenic influences.

  • “Road Map” for Revision of the Bulgarian Biosphere
    “ROAD MAP” FOR REVISION OF THE BULGARIAN BIOSPHERE RESERVES DESIGNATED UNDER UNESCO’S MAN AND THE BIOSPHERE PROGRAMME “ROAD MAP” FOR REVISION OF THE BULGARIAN BIOSPHERE RESERVES DESIGNATED UNDER UNESCO’S MAN AND THE BIOSPHERE PROGRAMME CURRENT STATE Bulgaria has 16 Biosphere reservesn (BR) all designated in 1977 – Alibotush, Bayuvi Dupki - Dzhindzhiritsa, Bistrishko Branishte, Boatin, Chervenata stena, Chuprene, Dzhendema, Dupkata, Kamchia, Kupena, Mantaritsa, Uzunbudzhak, Parangalitsa, Srebarna, Steneto, Tsarichina. They were selected to represent typical ecosystems with relatively untouched biotic and abiotic components and are more or less evenly distributed throughout the country. All BRs belong to the first generation of Biosphere Reserves, designated long before the adoption of the Seville Strategy and the Statutory Framework, and thus, they were established only with core zones. So, only the conservation and partly the logistic support funtions, related to research and biodiversity monitoring have been taking place. None of the 16 Bulgarian BRs coressponds to the zoning and functional requirements of the Seville Strategy and Statutory framework, adopted in 1995. Fifteen BRs are strict reserves and one (Srebarna) is a managed reserve according to the Bulgarian legislation. These categories are very strict and do not allow any human activities related to sustainable usage of natural resources. According to the Constitution of the Republic of Bulgaria (Article 18) and the Protected Areas Act - PAA (Article 8, paragraph 1), the strict and managed reserves are exclusive state property and are managed by the respective governmental institutions and their branches, i.e. the Ministry of Environment and Water (MOEW) and the Regional Inspectorates of Environment and Water (RIEW).
