1. Accreditation of study programs at the Faculty of information technologies Tempus SMGR 158853-1-2009-1-BE ESABIH EU standards for accreditation of study programs on BH Universities

2. Accreditation of study programs Our university still does not have accreditation programs State Higher education agency (HEA) for accreditation was formed in 2009 We expect accreditation of institution in 2010/11 We expect accreditation of study programs in 2012

3. The procedure of adopting new study programs The initiator of the initiative is the Faculty: – Faculty has formed a working group for elaboration of feasibilitiy study, – Teaching-scientific council of faculty discusses feasibility study, – Teaching-scientific council of university discusses and approves study program. Feasibility study contains: curriculum (description of modules, literature, workload, ECTS, methods of evaluation), description of identified target group, precondition for entrance, financing, list of resources needed (space, equipment, personnal resources), academic title and cualification.

10. Educational Objectives Depth. To provide students with an understanding of the essential knowledge necessary for the practice of, or for advanced study in, information technologies and engineering, including its basic scientific principles, and software engineering analysis and design. Breadth. To provide students with the broad education, including knowledge of significant current issues in information engineering, necessary for productive careers in industry, government, or for the pursuit of graduate education. Professionalism. To prepare students for the modern engineering work environment, which includes understanding the need for lifelong learning, by instilling professional attitudes and ethics, and by developing skills for clear communication and responsible teamwork. Learning Environment. To provide an environment that encourages students to pursue their goals in an innovative program that is challenging, open and supportive.

11. Programme Outcomes Ability to apply knowledge of Mathematics and adequate scientific and engineering principles in resolving of tasks Ability to analyse a system (problem) from a real environment in context of reviewing concepts from application domain and overcoming abstraction gaps with ITC tools offered for such concepts Ability to analyse a problem, identify and define requests for IT resources needed for its solution, identify mistakes and problems and apply adequate diagnostic methods in defining a cause and removal of mistakes within limits of requests for quality of solution Ability to design information systems, components, processes and programs in accordance with defined requirements (participating also in defining and modelling of requirements), to select suitable methods, procedures, techniques and tools, for organization and effective use of resources with regard to costs, quality, reliability, availability, security and impact on environment Ability to design, implement and use distributed information systems and necessary communication resources for functioning of these systems Ability to design and perform experiments, data organization as well as analysis and interpretation Ability to manage information systems, system components and processes with the ability to provide statistical and other data necessary for decision making systems, monitoring and evaluating system effectiveness Necessary level of personal responsibility and discipline – reliable and effective work without continuous monitoring with adequate behaviour in practice and personal relation as well as in relation to other people in environment – understanding and application of professional, ethical and social responsibility Readiness and ability to function in multidiscipline team functioning to achieve a common goal Ability to achieve high-quality communication with other people using speech, written and electronic methods, communication in English language about technical and other information, efficient work with colleagues, clients (users), suppliers and public Education necessary to understand impact of engineering solutions globally and in social context of environment Awareness, recognizing of needs and taking part in life-long learning and professional development Ability of using techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary in engineering practice Sense for integration of users systems into adequate environment within a wider system Ability to keep track and understand the best examples from practice, to know and use necessary standards in applications Ability to assist and create in the process of designing projects and plans.

12. Relation between our outcomes and Euro-Inf outcomes for accreditation: a) fundamental knowledge of mathematics, algorithms and data structures, basic principles of problem analysis, methods and basic models (OO paradigm, data base relational model and others basic models and principles) b) application domain vs. support and tools for problem solving (i.e. object oriented paradigm and ability to map concept and entity from real world problems -overcoming abstraction gas). c) system requirements mapping and understanding, applying abstraction principles and concept of reusability and overcoming system complexity

13. a) Basic theory for systems (problems) analysis. Level of learning realized and evaluated according to basic principles of Blooms taxonomy. b) Understanding of problem complexity and methods for overcoming it; necessary resources mapping. c) Identification of suitable paradigm, methods and choosing appropriate patterns d) Checking of the proposed solution through applying standards and experiments e) Ability to keep and conduct lot of contacts, talks and communications, group analysis, team works - all in the real context. f) Awareness of context in which the system will function
