A.1.3 Structure of the department

The Department of Computer Technology established in 1984 as a need of the highly demand for specialized technologists in the field of computers, which were developing in a rushing way. The fields covered, during the six semester course, the six months of practical training and the thesis, on computing are from a hardware and a software point of view. The students are trained theoretically and practically on programming techniques, microprocessors, microcontrollers, microcomputers, interfacing techniques, operating systems, computer networks, telecommunications, control systems, robotics, CAD-CAM, digital signal processing, electronics, microelectronics. The above are supported by mathematics, physics, materials etc.

The structure of the Department is:

A.2 Degree structure

A.2.1 Qualifications

All the first year students are registered in September but half of them attend classes of the winter semester which starts at the last week of September and the rest of them attend classes of the spring semester which starts at the last week of February.

Each academic year consists of two semesters and each semester lasts 15 weeks.

Each student has to choose the courses for each semester of the study program, according to the previous mentioned course schedule, which can cover at the most 45 teaching hours per week. Some courses have prerequisites, which have to be passed in order the following course to be undertaken.

After the completion of the 15 weeks teaching period all students are sitting in final examinations for each course (both in the theoretical and practical part).

There are two final examination periods for each semester and every student has to get at least five (5) in the grading scale 0 to 10 in order to successfully complete a course.

The practical part of the course is examined in the Laboratory and the student must pass the 80% of the taught practical exercises.

The 7 th semester includes the industrial or practical training and the thesis. The students can do the practical training after the 6 th semester, if they have passed the 2/3 of the total courses and the specific compulsory courses, in the private or public sector and in a field which must be relative to the department’s objectives. The training is supervised by a three academic member committee, which examines the nature of the practical and the consistent way the student is engaged with it.

All students during the last semester have to carry out a thesis on a specialized project relative to the department’s objectives, for at least six months and it is supervised by a member of the academic staff. This project, when finished, is presented to a council of three members of the academic staff and it is considered as successfully done if the grade is over five (5).
