Short History  3 years ago TEMPUS project CD JEP – 2001 was started.  We planed to reorganize our CS studies only in few subjects.  This includes: –changes in some subjects syllabi, –introducing new subjects, –producing the supporting material, –purchasing equipment, and –staff retraining.

Short History  So far, we have reorganized courses in Data Structures & Data Bases and Computer Systems.  Also we have introduced new courses in: –Information Technologies, –Intagrated Software Packages, –Informatics Didactics, –Security and Cryptography, –Business Informatics.

Short History  Lecture presentations and/or teaching material are posed at faculty WEB site for a number of subjects: –Data Structures & Data Bases, –Computer Systems, –Operating Systems, –Parallel processing, –Integrated Software Packages, –Mathematical Logic, –Languages and Automata, etc.

Short History  Most of teachers use multimedia now.  Purchased equipment –5 PCs, –1 LJ printer, –1 photocopy machine, –1 binding machine, and –a number of books.  Before the end of project we will purchase 5 more PCs.  Equipment is used for preparing teaching material.

Short History  We have performed a number of short visits to the partner institutions including the retraining of teaching staff.  Exchanging the experiences and information about curricula in partner institutions was of the crucial importance!

Short History  Meanwhile, we realized that we need completely new studies.  At TEMPUS meeting in Ohrid (September, 2004) we have presented new curricula proposal in first version.  We have also promised to inform you about future progress.  Important circumstance: new university law is about to be adopted in spring 2005.
