TheFaculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (Croatian:Fakultet elektrotehnike i računarstva,abbr:FER) is afaculty of theUniversity of Zagreb. It is the largest technical faculty and the leading educational facility for research and development in the fields ofelectrical engineering and computing inCroatia.
FER owns four buildings situated in theZagreb neighbourhood of Martinovka,Trnje. The total area of the site is 43,308 m2 (466,160 sq ft). As of 2011[update], the Faculty employs more than 160 professors and 210 teaching and research assistants. In the academic year 2010/2011, the total number of students was about 3,800 in the undergraduate and graduate level, and about 450 in the PhD program.[1]
As of the academic year 2004./2005., when the implementation of theBologna process started at the University of Zagreb, the faculty has twobaccalaureus programmes (each lasting 3 years):[2]
After receiving abachelor's degree, students can take part in one of three master's programmes:[3]
The Faculty comprises 12academic departments:
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering (Croatian:Elektrotehnički fakultet,abbr:ETF) was formed on 1 July 1956 when the College of Engineering of the University of Zagreb was divided into ETF and three other new faculties. The faculty existed under this name until 7 February 1995 when it was renamed to its current name.
In 1956, the first curriculum was formed, offering students programme called "Study of Electrical Engineering". The faculty was divided into two departments, one for weakcurrent (Odjel za slabu struju) and another for the strong current (Odjel za jaku struju). This was later referred to as the ETF-1 programme. The Faculty changed its curriculum in 1967, when the ETF-2 curriculum introduced a division of studies into electrical power systems, electronics, electrical machinery and automation. In 1970, the ETF-3 curriculum introduced further specializations, such as nuclear power systems and computing. There was also an ETF-4 curriculum later.

In 1994 name of the faculty changed, and the curriculum was changed from ETF-4 to FER-1. A separate study called "Study of Computing" was formed, so the faculty from then on offered two different degrees - one was the existingdiplomirani inženjer elektrotehnike, orgraduate engineer of electrical engineering, and the new one wasdiplomirani inženjer računarstva, orgraduate engineer of computing. In 2004 FER-1 was transformed to FER-2, to conform to theBologna process. This involved, among other things, changing the length of the essential course set from four semesters to two semesters, the renaming of the first study program to include the terminformation technology, and the reworking of the program subdivisions so that they each include five specialized modules. Starting with the academic year 2018./2019. the curriculum was changed from FER-2 to FER-3 and is mandatory for new students.
TheElectrical Engineering Student Club (Croatian:Klub studenata elektrotehnike,abbr:KSET) is a student association founded by students of the Croatian Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and plays an active role in the social life of theUniversity of Zagreb and Zagreb in general. The club is part of a larger building complex of its native faculty.[6]
