7. Reformed curricula three cycles 3,5 + 1,5 + 3 years
undergraduate study 7 semesters, 210 ECTS
Bachelor degree – e.g. Bachelor of Mechanical Eng. (prvostupnik strojarskog inženjerstva)
graduate study 3 semesters, 90 ECTS
Master degree – e.g. Master of Aeronautical Eng. (magistar zrakoplovnog inženjerstva)
doctoral study

8. Reformed curricula primary issues / objectives
to refresh programs (structure & content) – better fit contemporary industry needs
to improve efficiency of studying – study regime
to improve QA

9. Reformed curricula ECTS introduced learning outcomes determined
flexibility in study program (structure – mandatory & elective courses)
continuous work of student is evaluated

10. Reformed curricula – achieved results

11. Reformed curricula – achieved results

12. Student’s response

13. Student’s response & employability
Number of students’ projects
waterbike
unmanned aerial vehicle ….

14. Student’s response & employability

formula student

15. Conclusion remarks regarding Bologna process @ FSB
skills & competences are not novelty
at the moment hybrid model due to existing resources and environment ….
… to achieve objectives of Bologna model, not only accept formal elements
efficiency of studying is improving
further tuning and improvements to be done
