Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology Osijek is a modern faculty that has constantly been developing in all areas of its expertise. The educational process consists of three levels with study programmes being continually upgraded and harmonised with recent scientific discoveries, economy and labour market needs. Cooperation with the economy, encouragement of entrepreneurship and transfer of knowledge and technologies are fundamental indicators of the Faculty’s development.

History

Higher education curriculum in electrical engineering was first established in Osijek in 1978. In 1993, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering Osijek (ETFOS) was founded as a public institution of higher education. From year 2000 Faculty offers programs in computing as well, and in 2016 it changed its name to Faculty of electrical engineering, computer science and IT Osijek (FERIT Osijek).

Education

The FERIT Osijek implements study programmes in the scientific fields of electrical and computer engineering. Currently, ten study programmes are being delivered, i.e., two undergraduate university study programmes (in electrical engineering and computer engineering), three graduate university study programmes (in electrical engineering, computer engineering, automotive computing and communications), one postgraduate doctoral study programme, three postgraduate specialist study programmes and one professional study programme.

Research

Our faculty, most of whom are also business practitioners with extensive industry knowledge and experience, ensures that AUTOCOM students receive an unparalleled hands-on learning experience. Strong links to industry offer students unprecedented exposure to the right industry and excellent networking opportunities, providing a strong foundation for nearly any career path.Furthermore, in order to gain experience in scientific research, students can join FERIT's research groups for:

  • Intelligent Vehicles
  • Advanced Energy Technologies And Systems
  • Advanced Industrial Systems
  • Information And Communication Technologies
  • Intelligent Systems And Robotics
  • Advanced Teaching Methods In Technical Sciences
  • High-performance Computing And Data Analysis
  • Computer Engineering
  • Biomedical Engineering

Career

The Faculty’s research groups have participated in numerous domestic and European projects as either heads or associates. Cooperation with the economy, encouragement of entrepreneurship and transfer of knowledge and technologies are fundamental indicators of the Faculty’s development. The Faculty successfully cooperates with the most important electrical engineering and ICT companies. Furthermore, in collaboration with the economy, professional and development projects, studies and elaborations are carried out.For example, in order to provide students with knowledge and skills required to succeed on the global market, the AUTOCOM study programme is developed in cooperation with the following partner companies - AVL AST, GlobalLogic, Institut RT-RK, Rimac Automobili, Xylon, Yazaki.
