1.2 ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

1.2.1 IUS HISTORICAL CONTEXT

The International University of Sarajevo (hereinafter IUS) is a higher education

institution founded by the Foundation for Development of Education in Sarajevo

(hereafter: SEDEF) in 2004. SEDEF is registered with the Ministry of Justice of the

Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its purpose is to support education in Bosnia

and Herzegovina by creating the conditions for its development.

From its outset in 2004, IUS has applied the principles of the Bologna Declaration,

as follows:

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is used in all

study programs. Students are awarded ECTS Credits and grades upon successful

completion of courses.

IUS implements three cycles of studies. From the beginning of its operation IUS

adopted 4+1+3 system. It means that the nominal duration of bachelor, master

and doctoral programs are four (240 ECTS), one (60 ECTS) and three (180

ECTS) years, respectively.

IUS is issuing Diploma Supplement to all of its graduates. It contains

information on completed courses and grades achieved, accumulated number of

ECTS credits and other information as defined in ECTS Users Guide.

Learning-outcomes-based curricula are implemented in all study programs which

is in line with European QF descriptors.

Students are represented in IUS decision-making bodies (Senate, Faculty

Councils, Boards, Committees, etc.) and have full voting rights.

As an international institution for education and development, the University

cooperates with other universities in the region and other countries, to create a

stimulating and pleasant atmosphere for teaching and conducting research for

students’ and professors from around the world. IUS’s statute enables and

motivates mobility of students, academicians and administration.IUS students

have the opportunity to accomplish part of their programs abroad, as well as

students from other universities are allowed to spend a period of study at IUS.

4

Lecturers are allowed to spend a period abroad and their mobility is supported by

IUS.

IUS has experienced great transformation in the past twelve years of its existence. It

proved to be an institution, which can meet challenges, overcome problems and

improve itself. In the last 12 years most of the resources, material and human, were

spent on institution building processes. Two new faculties were established, a

number of new study programs, new Centers and auxiliary departments and units. By

the end of 2015 these processes are mostly finished. Today, International University

of Sarajevo consists of five faculties and offers twenty-one study programs in all

three study cycles of education.

Finally, the new IUS Strategic Plan 2016-2021 2021 (Please refer to:

2.3.1.1 Structure of the study program

The characteristic of all IUS bachelor study programs is that required and elective

courses are grouped into four groups, defined as follows:

University courses – are required courses for all students of the first year, first

cycle study program, with the objectives to:

26

provide students with basic knowledge and methods for independent and critical

decision-making;

offer students a new approach and a deep understanding of the nature of social

movements;

provide interdisciplinary understanding of the “state” in certain areas that will

help further choice of courses in the study;

ensure the harmonization of the level of knowledge for all students IUS.

Faculty courses – are required and elective courses, which are defined by the

faculty. These courses contain the fundamentals of knowledge, which are

common to all study programs in each faculty.

Program courses – are required and elective courses, which are defined by the

study program to achieve the intended program learning outcomes.

Free elective courses – are all undergraduate courses at IUS, excluding the

University courses, Faculty courses and Program courses (defined for each

program), which aims to give opportunity to students to freely choose a number

of courses from other study programs.

The Bachelor degree of the EEE study program is obtained by completing 240 ECTS

and an internship in the following manner:

Course type Number of courses Number of ECTS

2.4 EUROPEAN CREDIT TRANSFER SYSTEM

As an accredited university that is conducting its activities in the Sarajevo Canton,

the International University Sarajevo is bound to be in compliance with the following

legal acts pertaining to the use of ECTS model:

Framework Law on Higher Education in Bosnia And Herzegovina (Please refer

to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/forms/framwork_law_on_higher_educa

tion_in_bih.pdf)

Law on Higher Education adopted for the Sarajevo Canton (Please refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/the-law-on-higher-education.pdf)

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/forms/framwork_law_on_higher_education_in_bih.pdf

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/forms/framwork_law_on_higher_education_in_bih.pdf

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/the-law-on-higher-education.pdf

42

These laws set the higher education model in Bosnia and Herzegovina in three

cycles:

The first cycle leads to the academic title of completed undergraduate studies [the

degree of Bachelor] or equivalent, obtained after no less than three years and no

more than four years of full time study upon acquiring a secondary school

leaving certificate, valued as no less than 180 or 240 ECTS credit points;

The second cycle leads to the academic title of Master or equivalent, obtained

after the completion of undergraduate studies, of duration of one or two years,

and valued as 60 to 120 ECTS credit points, in such a way that the total with the

first cycle represents 300 ECTS points; and

The third cycle leads to the academic degree of doctor or equivalent, of duration

of three years and valued as 180 ECTS credit points.

One semester of full-time study carries 30 ECTS credit points in each cycle. Law on

Higher Education (Please refer to https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/the-law-

on-higher-education.pdf) defines ECTS system as “European system of transferring

the study points (credits). The study points – credits – are used to define a measure of

a student workload and requirements of each course, and are determined on the basis

of optimal student workload necessary for achieving competencies in each particular

course” (Article 7). The Law further defines one ECTS study credit as 25 hours of

the total student workload in all aspects of his/her work on a particular subject

(Article 49). Article 31 of the Law stipulates the right of university to establish the

manner of implementing European Credit Transfer System principles in its statute.

Implementation of ECTS system at IUS is regulated in Article 121 of our Statute

(Please refer to https://www.ius.edu.ba/important-documents/statute) in the following

manner:

(1) Study programs apply the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS), i.e. the

European system of transfer of study credits, for each course in a study program.

(2) The number of ECTS credits for each course is based upon the total student

workload for which the student is engaged in the particular course, as follows:



https://www.ius.edu.ba/important-documents/statute

43

attending learning activities (theoretical and/or practical teaching activities,

tutorials, seminar projects);

independent work (homework, projects, research);

preparing for assessments (tests, final examination); and

other activities in the particular subject.

In addition to establishing credit value of its courses and study programs, IUS is uses

ECTS for the following purposes:

1. Evaluation of courses passed at other higher education institution for students

who are transferring to IUS

2. Evaluation of foreign qualifications and their recognition for the purpose of

continuing education or for getting employment in Bosnia and Herzegovina,

3. Preparing learning agreement for exchange students.

In accordance to above mentioned regulations, I cycle of the EEE study program

lasts eight semesters, with 30 ECTS each, which in total adds to 240 ECTS needed

for the completion of the program. Most of the courses require 150-hour workload

consisting of various activities for the student to successfully finish the course.

Required activities and methods of evaluation of students work and achieved

learning outcomes are described in syllabus for each course. Students receive

syllabus of each course which they register at the beginning of the semester. All

syllabi can also be found on IUS web site.

For students who are transferring to the EEE study program from the other higher

education institution courses which they passed at other institution can be recognized

and ECTS credits can be accepted towards Bachelor of Electrical and Electronics

Engineering at IUS. Process of recognition of those courses in conducted in

accordance to the Book of Rules on Recognition of Passed Examinations and their

Equivalence (Please refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/book_of_rules_on_recognition_of_passed_

courses_and_of_their_equivalence_at_ius.pdf) at International University of

Sarajevo. This bylaw stipulates that recognition of courses and ECTS credits is

granted following the assessment which needs to establishes that the level and type

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/book_of_rules_on_recognition_of_passed_courses_and_of_their_equivalence_at_ius.pdf

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/book_of_rules_on_recognition_of_passed_courses_and_of_their_equivalence_at_ius.pdf

44

of knowledge, skills and competences, or learning outcomes achieved in the

previously passed courses have no significant differences from the level and type of

knowledge, skills and competences which are achieved in the subjects for which the

recognition was applied for.

Process of evaluation of foreign qualifications and their recognition for the purpose

of continuing education or for obtaining employment in Bosnia and Herzegovina is

performed in accordance to the Role Book on Recognition of Foreign Qualification

(Please refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/u666/study_rules_for_the_first_study_cycl

e_at_ius1.pdf/Artcile 58, p.23).

In order for a higher education institution to have the legal power to perform

recognition of foreign qualification and to enable usage of that qualification in

Bosnia and Herzegovina, bylaw based on which recognition is carried out has to be

approved by the Ministry. The Ministry approved IUS Role Book on Recognition of

Foreign Qualification on 19th

September, 2014 and since that day IUS is performing

recognition of foreign qualification.

Other important documents used in the process of recognition of foreign qualification

are Recommendations on the Use of Qualifications Frameworks in the Procedure for

the Recognition of Foreign Higher Education Qualifications in Bosnia and

Herzegovina and Recommendations on Evaluation Criteria for the Recognition of

Foreign Higher Education Qualifications issued by Centre for Information and

Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education, Lisbon Recognition Convention,

and ECTS Guide.

In order to facilitate students’ mobility, the curriculum is organized through the

courses which values are expressed in units of the European Credit Transfer System

(ECTS). Students’ workload per semester is determined with 30 ECTS credits so that

the total load in one academic year is 60 ECTS.

Given the size of planned content and timing of their implementation, courses at IUS

are predominantly assigned to an equal number of study credits i.e. 6 ECTS. One

study ECTS point is equivalent to 25 hours of total workload for the average student,

and curriculum indicates that this standard is met.

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/u666/study_rules_for_the_first_study_cycle_at_ius1.pdf/

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/u666/study_rules_for_the_first_study_cycle_at_ius1.pdf/

45

Total student activities, in accordance with the Law on Higher Education in Sarajevo

Canton, mainly include the following:

a) Number of hours needed for instructions (lectures, seminars),

b) Time required for student for independent tasks,

c) Time required for preparation of assessment and grading, and

d) Time which academic staff need in assisting the student to acquire the necessary

knowledge.

Based on the above legal basis for "assigning" the study points to every single

activity in the preparation of curriculum, IUS, as a rule, in all its study programs

applies a model of so called standardized workload (1) for each course, ensuring that

the total load comprises 150 hours of total student activities per course.

This provides:

a) General harmonization of the scope and subjective “importance” of each course in

the curriculum,

b) Standardizing subjective weight for mastering a particular course through a

flexible allocation of credits to individual activities,

c) More efficient mobility of students,

d) A simpler implementation and organization of joint courses in the first year of the

studies, and

f) An easier transition and recognition of courses with international higher education

institutions.

2.5 STUDY PROGRAM VS. QUALIFICATION OBJECTIVES

1Model of standardized workload of student in the preparation of curricula, has been recommended and officially issued by the

European Commission (ECTS User's Guide, Brussels, 6 February 2009, Chapter 4, p. 17 and 18, ISBN: 978-92-79-09728-7).

2.6 STUDENTS’ WORKLOAD


The EEE Bachelor program satisfies legal requirements related to the workload and

ECTS credits, with respect to both national and EU contexts.

The first cycle lasts four years, which is equivalent to 240 ECTS credits distributed

in eight semesters, each of them enabling students to acquire 30 ECTS.

50

The standard for student workload and ECTS credit is defined in the Law and equals

25 hours of student engagement. The formula is consistently applied which can be

evident from course syllabus forms, where courses that are valued, e.g.6 ECTS

assume that an average student will spend 150 hours of work per semester, including

lecture/tutorial attendance, practical work, work on the project and individual

learning. In this way, it is estimated that the total work time of an average student

will allow him/her to fully obtain the expected knowledge, skills and competences in

that course, subsequently assigning the ECTS credits after the successful

examination. Student workload per course per semester is equally distributed

throughout 16 weeks.

Teaching and Assessment Methods applied at the University vary significantly

depending on the faculty and discipline. In general, the courses of EEE program have

a tendency towards larger structure and more formal lessons than subjects of

humanities and social sciences. An important component of studying at the IUS is

independent learning, and special attention is given to individual office hours with

students. Academic staff may combine different teaching approaches to achieve

specified learning goals and to motivate students to study.

Implementation of teaching can take several forms, but it usually involves a

combination of the following:

- Lectures, and class discussion.

- Tutorials, under the supervision of course holder professor, in small groups where

individual attention is given to students. Tutorials usually complement lectures, but

are more topic-specific. For example, they may include activities such as solving

problems or having discussions on particular topics broadly discussed during

lectures.

- Practical work, such as weekly sessions in the laboratory where students acquire

technical and research skills.

- Internships (min 30 working days) have been designed in a way that offers students

opportunities to experience on-the-job training and make well-informed decisions

about their future careers. Through the choice of two host institutions/sectors for

51

carrying out the Internship, students develop their communication skills and learn

how to join interdisciplinary teams. (Please refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/procedure_and_rules_for_internship_summ

er_training.pdf)

- Independent learning: Apart from attending lectures and practical classes, students

spend a great part of their week days in independent learning that includes reading

relevant materials, research, studying in the reading room, doing homework, writing

term papers and reports, group or individual projects and presentations.

Student advisor

Since its establishment, IUS has always given special attention to the academic

advising of students in their studies. Within the study program, the Dean assign to

each student academic advisors, who have obligation to continuously monitor and

evaluate student's progress. The task of academic advisors is also; based on the

expressed wishes of the student for education in the selected area, to advice on the

choice of "a coherent set of courses" taking into account the personal preferences of

student and the educational requirements of the study program.


The EEE Master’s program satisfies all legal requirements related to the workload

and ECTS credits, with respect to both national and EU contexts.

The second cycle lasts one year, which is equivalent to 60 ECTS credits distributed

in two semesters, each of them enabling students to acquire 30 ECTS.

The similar teaching methods as applied in the first cycle are used in the second

cycle courses of EEE program. However, the focus is more on class discussions,

interaction and practical work.

The standard for student workload and ECTS credit is defined in the Law and equals

25 hours of student engagement per 30 ECTS, or 150 hours of work per course per

semester, including lecture/tutorial attendance, practical work,project and individual

learning. In this way, it is estimated that the total work time of an average student

will allow him/her to fully obtain the expected knowledge, skills and competences in

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/procedure_and_rules_for_internship_summer_training.pdf


52

that course, subsequently assigning the ECTS credits after the successful

examination. Student workload per course per semester is equally distributed

throughout 16 weeks.

Student advisor

Each student in the second cycle is assigned an academic advisor (responsible for the

registered courses confirmation) and thesis supervisor (responsible for mentoring

student’s master thesis work).

In brief, EEE program teaching methods and the aforementioned workload for both,

1st and 2nd cycle are enhancing in efficient way to achieve the qualification

objectives of the program.

2.7 EXEMINATION METHODS

Student assessment at the university is regulated by the Study Rules for the First and

Second Study Cycle at IUS. (refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/u666/study_rules_for_the_first_study_cycl

e_at_ius1.pdf

and https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/u666/study_rules_ii_cycle1.pdf ).

It defines the process of student assessment as well as an appeal process. Students

are awarded ECTS credits upon successful completion of each course. Assessment is

a continuous process and it includes, but is not limited to, written exams, oral exams,

practical work, seminar papers, tests, projects, colloquiums.

The examination methods used in the EEE undergraduate study program includes

different types of assessments including papers, written exam questions, class

discussions, homework, assignments, labs, problem sets etc. The detailed

information on how each type of assessment supports the expected learning

outcomes is given in the Table 2.21 and Table 2.22, for I and II cycle respectively.

2.9.3 RECOGNITION

Bosnia and Herzegovina signed the Convention of the Council of Europe/UNESCO

on Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education in European Region (ETS No.

165, 1997) – The Lisbon Convention („Official Gazette of B&H“, issue 16/03 –

International Agreements) in 2003. The Convention entered into force in 2004. This

way, Bosnia and Herzegovina took a part in this important instrument for the

Bologna Process which aims at creating the “European higher education area” by

making academic degree standards and quality assurance standards more comparable

and compatible throughout Europe.

62

In order to improve the implementation of the Convention in our country, the Centre

for Information and Recognition of Qualifications in Higher Education (hereinafter

CIP/CIR), was established by the Framework Law on Higher Education in Bosnia

and Herzegovina (“Official Gazette of B&H”, issue 59/07), as an independent

administrative organization. According to the given Law, CIP/CIR is in charge of:

information and recognition in higher education, coordination and international

exchange of members of academia, students, and programs in higher education and

representing Bosnia and Herzegovina in international projects in higher education.

Also, through the international network of information centers (ENIC/NARIC

network), CIP/CIR provides information to the higher education institutions in

Bosnia and Herzegovina on foreign higher education institutions and programs and

gives opinion about foreign degrees and diplomas in relation to the continuation of

education at higher education institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. These

instruments are regularly used by IUS, in the way that will be thoroughly explained

latter. Also CIP/CIR issued numerous recommendations for the area of Recognition

of Qualifications in Higher Education, available here:

http://cip.gov.ba/index.php/en/the-legislation

Considering that higher education in the Federation of B&H is in also under the

authority of Cantons, very important law for the qualification recognition at IUS is

the Cantonal Law on Higher Education (“Official Gazette of Sarajevo Canton” issue

42/13 – Consolidated text) available here:

http://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/the-law-on-higher-education.pdf

Under this Law, institutions of higher education have authority to validate and carry

out procedures of recognition of university degrees (qualifications) from abroad

through its organizational units by means of nominating a special committee, in

compliance with the Law (Article 36). Two types of qualifications recognition is

stipulated, academic and professional recognition.

Recognition of foreign higher education qualification is a formal validation of value

of foreign higher education qualifications and periods of study, issued by the

competent authorities of IUS for the purposes of access to education or employment.

Procedure of recognition of higher education qualifications at IUS has been regulated

in detail by the Book of Rules on Recognition of Foreign Educational Qualifications

http://cip.gov.ba/index.php/en/the-legislation

http://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/the-law-on-higher-education.pdf

63

which is adopted by the Senate of IUS and approved by the Ministry of Education,

Science and Youth of Canton Sarajevo.

The procedure for the recognition of foreign higher education qualifications for the

purpose of access to labor market in Bosnia and Herzegovina is being conducted by

the Senate of IUS and procedure for academic recognition of foreign higher

education qualifications and access to continuation of education is being carried out

by the Council of the organizational unit of IUS which issues the same or equivalent

higher education qualifications.

In both cases, the Committee is formed of at least three members of the academic

staff in the academic title of assistant professor, associate professor or full professor,

from a scientific/artistic areas and disciplines which are taught within the study

program for which the recognition of foreign higher education qualifications is

requested with obligation to submit Report to authorized body of university or

faculty, that contains their proposal and explanation on requested recognition of

higher qualification based on criteria set by the Book of Rules on Recognition of

Foreign Educational Qualifications.

Valuation of foreign higher education qualifications is done exclusively on the basis

of acquired knowledge, skills and competences. In the process of recognition of

higher education qualification for the purpose of employment, level and type of

study, as well as professional, academic or scientific title is being determined without

comparing the curricula. Foreign higher education qualification will not be

recognized if substantial differences between the foreign higher education

qualification and the corresponding qualification of IUS are found.

Unified Register of all received and processed applications for academic and

professional recognition of foreign higher education qualifications is being processed

and kept by the Student Affairs Office.

The deadline for adoption of decision on recognition of higher education

qualification is 60 days from the filing of a proper application.

64

2.10 INTERNSHIP

Students of EEE program are required to complete 30 full working days of internship

during their studies, and this is the condition for graduation. Currently, in the

curriculum, 6 ECTS is given for the internship.

The aim of the internship is to provide EEE students with some real-world practical

experience, so that they can be better prepared for their future jobs once they

complete their studies. Internships will give students more practical experience and

implementation of some of the theoretical aspects of the knowledge they have

acquired during their studies, and provide them with an advantage over their relative

competitors from other local universities. The goals of internship are as follows:

To develop the ability of students’ reasoning

To improve their ability to process information and critical thinking

To increase their ability to apply gained knowledge

To develop their problem solving strategy in various circumstances etc.

Internships are approved only after authorization from the responsible person in the

company, that the student had satisfactory completed the internship. Upon

submission of their internship works, the place of internship can be chosen upon a

consultation with program coordinator and recommendation letter to the responsible

person in the host institute or sector. After completing the period of the internship,

students are required to write their internship reports, and the responsible person

should write a report to the EEE program coordinator describing the training

protocol, results obtained and the performance of the student. Only positive reports

will be taken into consideration to validate the internship.

The detailed information on the procedures for the student internship can be found on

the web page. (Please refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/procedure_and_rules_for_internship_summ

er_training.pdf

The EEE internship opportunities include large companies in Bosnia and

Herzegovina, such as BH telecom (telecommunications), Energoinvest (electrical

and power industry), Elektroprivreda (power industry), Sarajevo airport



65

(communication), Jengiz instruction, SISICAM – soda factory and others, as well as

respected companies from Turkey (Turkcel, Turkish Airline, etc.).

66

CHAPTER 3 STAFF

3.1 SCIENTIFIC TEACHING AND RESEARCH STAFF

Recruitment of a qualified staff, both for teaching and research, is based on the Law

of Higher Education of the Sarajevo Canton. Certain procedures have to be fulfilled.

In addition, the Faculty introduced internal procedures when new staff is to be

recruited. For prospective academic staff, with no teaching backgrounds like

assistant professors, senior assistants and assistants, approaching lecturers are

mandatory, at which a recruiting committee, decides whether they fulfill the

requirements of the EEE program.

3.1.1 NUMBER OF ACADEMIC STAFF IN THE PROGRAM

Academic staff of EEE study program includes 7 full-time professors, 2 part time

professors, 5 senior assistants, 1 assistant and 1 student demonstrator (See Table 3.2).

3.1.2 QUALIFICATION OF ACADEMIC STAFF

The aim of the IUS is that, among other things, together with contemporary

curricula, achieve a greater compatibility and a clear comparability with higher

education systems in Europe, and to improve quality of education and its results as a

basic requirement for a comparison with European and the world's education

systems. Of course, a prerequisite for these objectives is the fulfillment of all

Standards and norms for higher education in Canton Sarajevo (hereinafter:

Standards), which establishes the requirements for a minimum infrastructure,

personnel and other technical conditions necessary for carrying out teaching and

research activities of university.

Standards, among others, stipulates the obligation of higher education institutions to

provide teachers and associates who will successfully and in accordance with the

curriculum implemented established program, where it is necessary that at least 2/3

of the professors, assistants 2/3 and 2/3 of other associates must be employed full-

time at the University, and the rest of the academic staff can be engaged from the

economic, scientific and similar environments (up to 1/3 of the academic staff, and,

if necessary, and more), or from among the visiting professors (1/3 academic staff).

67

In parallel, IUS carries out continuous analysis of its own scientific teaching capacity

i.e. staff members of academic staff who are appointed for the same or related

scientific field.

By decisions on appointment into academic title for a specific scientific field, the

right to hold all courses contained within established scientific/artistic field is

awarded to particular academic member. No matter given the right to hold a certain

number of courses contained in the relevant scientific field, teaching load for each

semester and each academic member is separately determined by the decision on

teaching responsibilities and workload by faculty council. Therefore, the number of

courses given by the Decision on the appointment or curriculum always may be

limited and coordinated with the decision on teaching responsibilities and workload

by faculty council on the semester basis, depending on special teaching needs.

The majority of the appointed members are young professors who have dedicated

much of their adult lives to their academic degree earned in the relevant scientific

disciplines. In accordance with the decisions on appointments, as a result of public

vacancy for appointment into academic tile, they have concluded their employment

relationships and they are actively engaged in continuous scientific research and

teaching processes, which is resulting with permanent scientific publications and

prominent teaching activities.

IUS and faculties as a whole continuously analyze staffing fulfillment and propose

measures for improvement in the areas where it was found a lack of a sufficient

number of required staff. In general, this analysis is done at the level of the study

program and resulting requirements for new staff if found necessary. Furthermore,

these requirements are analyzed by the faculty council and forwarded to the IUS

Senate and the Board of Directors for final approval. After approvals, the public

vacancies are announced.

The short description of research interests and activities of the EEE program staff is

given below, but the detailed information and list of publications can be found on the

IUS web page (Please refer to https://ee.ius.edu.ba/ee-academic-staff ).

https://ee.ius.edu.ba/ee-academic-staff

68

3.1.3 ACADEMIC STAFF WORKLOAD

Academic staff members fall into two categories: teachers and assistants. There is a

universal workload policy, based on the relevant standards and norms and at IUS

teachers are supposed to teach nine hours a week and to spend the rest of their

working time in other activities, primarily student consultations, research and some

administrative duties. Assistants’ workloads are also in line with the existing

standards and norms. In order to get academic appointment all, the legal and

institutional criteria with regard to qualifications and academic/artistic background

must be satisfied and the selection process includes introductory lecture which is

evaluated by an ad-hoc committee.

3.1.4 ACADEMIC STAFF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND

EVALUATION

The professional development policy at IUS is regulated through Program of

measures for creation of conditions for promotion of academic staff. This document

underlines conditions for promotion of academic staff into higher academic titles and

also lists other measures which allow professional development of IUS teaching

staff. Hiring process, duties and responsibilities, appointments, promotions,

workloads and evaluations of academic staff are regulated by Law, Statute and

rulebooks.

There are fair and merit-based procedures for staff recruitment and promotion.

Academic staff appointments are publicly announced and open to all the interested

candidates. A committee checks the applications and attached files, prepares a

shortlist and invites candidates to deliver an introductory lecture for the evaluation

purpose. Final decision is brought by Senate voting.

There is a universal workload policy, based on the relevant standards and norms and

at IUS teachers are supposed to teach nine hours a week and to spend the rest of their

working time in other activities, primarily student consultations, research and some

administrative duties. Assistants’ workloads are also in line with the existing

standards and norms.

Academic staff members are regularly evaluated by students and institution on a

regular yearly basis. Student surveys are performed at the end of each semester and

69

the scores given by students are used in institutional evaluation of academic staff that

includes their educational, scientific/artistic and administrative activities. The

evaluation is objective with clearly set criteria, identified areas and values for every

activity/output. These evaluations are part of the internal QA system and are

managed by the Rectorate, as defined in the rulebook.

3.1.5 STUDENT-LECTURER RATIO

Given that the average (admission versus graduation) number of students in the study

program in the period of 2017–2018 equals 82 and the number of full time academic

staff is EEE study program is 9, without including the number of faculty staff

teaching some university required and elective to our students, the student/teacher

ratio is 9.1 (see Table 3.1). Although the study process definitely benefits from

provision of more individual attention from the teachers and creating space for more

productive class work, it nevertheless seems rational to increase the numbers of

students being accepted to the study program without negatively impacting the

quality of studies.

3.2 COMPOSITION OF THE FACULTY

Learning objectives and learning outcomes of the EEE program requires diverse and

competent academic staff. Its composition is in a line with the teaching and research

objectives, as well as students’ needs, wants and demands. Such versatile academic

staff profoundly enhances the scholarly and professional development of students.

Expertise of the staff, their flexible teaching and research approaches, make students

infallible if they decide either industry path career or academia.

In 2015/2016 academic year, except two of them, all EEE academic staff are full

time and their degree, qualifications, and areas of teaching are provided in the Table

3.2. The number of teaching stuff is currently sufficient to cover all required program

courses as well as a selection of elective courses from the list of program/area

electives. Due to the nature of EEE program, being an interdisciplinary, the program

benefits from other Faculty program staff, in particular academicians in the fields of

Mathematics, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Engineering are teaching

variety of the required and elective courses in EEE curricula.

3.3 HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

Through its mission and vision and strategic plan, IUS supports the professional

development of its teaching and research staff. Human resource development and

further staff education are implemented by some of the following means:

IUS organizes conferences and seminars where EEE program staff participate as

organizers, attendees and/or presenters. (such as the Regional Conference on Soft

Computing)

IUS organizes lectures given by distinguished keynote speakers and experts in

the field of EEE.

IUS provides a financial support for:(1) publishing scientific papers in science

citation indexed journals;(2) participation of academic staff in conferences,

workshops and seminars (regulated by Book of Rule on Incentives Policy and

Financial Support for Book Publishing, Conference Participation, and

Professional Development). (Please refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/forms/book_of_rules_on_incentives_po

licy_and_financial_support_005.pdf);

The Book of Rules on Publishing Activities at the IUS SENAT-11- 974/16

defines all types of publishing activities at IUS, quality control of publications, as

well as financing publishing activities (Please refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/sites/default/files/book_of_rules_on_publishing_activities

_at_ius_002-2016.pdf).

The list of academic personnel who received financial support stipulated

by Book of Rule on Incentives Policy and Financial Support for Book

Publishing, Conference Participation and Professional Development is

kept in the Office for Financial and Economic Matters.

The list of published scientific papers, books and book chapters by IUS academic

staff is publicly available at IUS web-site (please refer to

https://www.ius.edu.ba/ius-academic-staff). The list is regularly updated.

Staff members of EEE Program have a notable record in teaching, research,

professional society involvement and experience in practice. They are constantly

organized by the Council of Europe, EU Twinning Project: Strengthening

Institutional Capacity for Quality Assurance and Agency for Higher Education and

Quality Assurance, BiH, (HEA). IUS evaluates its QA system formally in the process

of self-evaluation, but also as the part of strategy monitoring implementation and

regular analyses by Board of Trustees IUS quality system is in full compliance with

ENQA standards and guidelines, BH standards and guidelines, laws and Acts of the

Agency for Development of Higher Education and Quality Assurance, and

competent cantonal laws and by-laws.

There are two main bodies regarding quality assurance in IUS: Internal Quality

Assurance Committee (IQAC) and Quality Assurance Office (QAO). IQAC has been

established by the decision of the Rector of IUS. QAO is foreseen by the law

(Canton Sarajevo) and B&H National Framework Law on Higher Education. (Please

refer to https://qa.ius.edu.ba/committees)

4.1.2 INTERNAL QUALITY ASSURANCE COMMITTEE (IQAC),

CURRICLUM COMMITTEE AND WORKING GROUPS

IUS University Council functions as Internal Quality Assurance Committee (IQAC).

IQAC is a permanent IUS body responsible for maintaining and improving efficiency

and quality of services and for providing inputs regarding the external evaluations

and accreditation. The Committee members are: Rector, Vice Rector, Deans,

Secretary General, and Legal Advisor of IUS. The same members plus QA Manager

Form Curriculum Committee. It is a permanent IUS body responsible for overseeing

the matters respective to the curricula development, performance and monitoring.

4.1.2.1 Internal Quality Assurance Committee Working Group (IQAC-WG) for

Administrative Units

IQAC-WG for Administrative Units supports the work of Internal Quality Assurance

Committee. The WG members are administrative office managers, legal advisors of

faculties and SPIUS representative.

4.1.2.2 Internal Quality Assurance Committee Working Group (IQAC-WG) for

Academic Units

IQAC-WG for Academic Units supports the work of Internal Quality Assurance

Committee. The WG members are representative academic professionals from study

programs. This WG also functions as Curriculum Committee Working Group.

4.1.3 STAKEHOLDER PARTICIPATION

Internal and external stakeholders are involved in the QA processes in various ways,

but not at the same level. Internal stakeholders, such as students and academic staff,

are involved in more systemic manner. Self-evaluations, both at university and SP

level are done by appointed committees and student representatives are on all these

committees.

All the analyses are discussed at Faculty Council and Senate sessions and, as pointed

out earlier, students are also full members in these. Alumni association at IUS is

created at university level and all the accessible alumni are approached in reasonable

manner providing valuable input for improvements and innovations in the existing

practices and curricula. Representatives of the labor market and professional

associations are approached in the process of major changes and enhancement in SPs

and/or in very specific and individual cases where their contribution is considered

most valued. Faculties maintain good contacts with relevant industries on personal

and also professional basis through repeating meetings, workshops and partnerships.

4.2 STUDY PROGRAM QUALITY ASSURANCE AND ENHANCEMENT

4.2.1 CURRICULUM AND QUALITY ENHANCEMENT

Study programs curricula for all three cycles are adopted by the Senate on the

proposal of the Faculty Council and with a positive opinion of the Curricula

Committee. The proposal for introduction of a new study program goes through the

review process. Before approval of the Faculty Council, the proposal is shared for

review with other colleagues, professional associations relevant to the proposed

program and other interested parties. To approve the proposal, there should be at

least one positive review by an internationally recognized professor in the field

concerning the program, and approvals by the Quality Assurance Office and the

Curricula Committee. Once the proposal is accepted by the Faculty Council, the

proposal is submitted for approval to the Senate.

According to the Book of Rules mentioned above, changes in an existing study

program can be classified as minor changes, in which approval of the responsible

Faculty Council suffices, and major changes where approval of the Faculty Council

and the Senate is needed, assuming the positive opinion of the QA Office and the

Curricula Committee.

The quality of the curriculum is assured through continuous monitoring and

verification of program objectives, outcomes, teaching/learning methods, workload

of students, students’ exam pass rates, and by gathering information from students

and lecturers as well as other stakeholders.

Through formal involvement in

self-evaluation activities - - -

By informally providing

information on the issues at

stake

By responding to the surveys

on regular basis (e.g. at the end

of the semester or academic

year) - - - - -

82

Course analysis is performed once a year at the end of each academic year (No. IUS-

SENAT 11-132/13). The analysis contains information about the number of

registered students for a course, a number of students that have withdrawn from the

course, average grade of the course and student’s evaluation of the course, which is

measured every semester by the online student survey system.

External stakeholders are usually involved in the self-evaluation process and

strategic planning or any kind of major changes whereby opinion of external partners

is deemed to be of a significant importance. Academic staff members maintain good

contacts with relevant industries on personal and also professional basis through

repeating meetings, workshops and partnerships. IUS implements several projects

with companies, institutions and government bodies as partners.

External stakeholders are mostly involved in manner of informal forums and

personal connection. As a good example of cooperation with external stakeholders is

the input on IUS Strategic Plan 2016-2020 where a thorough feedback was obtained

from:

Turkish Chamber of Commerce, and

BH Agency of Higher Education and Quality Assurance (HEA)

4.2.2 THE USE OF INFORMATION

In this section we will provide an overview on what kind of information is being

collected by IUS/Faculties/Study Program, how this information is communicated

and how they impact decision making processes. It will also address what kind of

information IUS displays publicly.

SIS (UNIPA) software, a centralized student information system, enables IUS and

Study Programs to monitor their activities related to students and study programs

implementation.

Apart from earlier described UNIPA features (i.e., documents issuance, transcripts,

various certificates, diploma, diploma supplements, etc., grading and records

maintenance, finance issues control, etc.), it also enables collection of different data

related to students, such as:

83

Student progression and success rates

Profile of the student population (e.g. age, gender, nationality, education

background)

Number of students in each study program based on study year

Number of students graduated each year

Average grade in each study program

Average duration of study in each study program

Drop offs, student transfers, etc.

Student status

Percentage of graduates per each generation

All these data are further analyzed at different levels and the measures taken are

followed up.

One of the tools is preparation of self-evaluation report, which is done on regular

basis in accordance with IUS rules and regulations.

Apart from the information mentioned above, IUS/SP collects different types of

information via various surveys, such as:

Student satisfaction with the courses content and the curricula

Students evaluation of teachers and teaching methods

Students’ satisfaction with the resources available to them (Library, Student

Affairs Office, etc)

Alumni/employment satisfaction surveys

Post-exchange student/teacher survey

Survey on Strategic Plan.

All these data are further analyzed at different levels and the measures taken are

followed up.

4.2.3 PUBLIC INFORMATION

IUS has an open and transparent public policy. On the University level an entire

Strategic Plan is publically announced via IUS web page.

Information on the Study Program offered publically includes:

84

Information on Qualification granted by the study program

Intended Learning outcomes and educational objectives

Curricula for the 1st, 2

nd, and 3

rd cycle

Specific information for foreign students

Information on teaching staff

Information on the teaching and learning methods and assessment procedures

Learning opportunities (scholarships, exchange and mobility opportunities)

Available learning and campus resources (IUS library, laboratories, dorms,

canteen, gym, etc.)

Exchange opportunities and mobility

Project and Research Grant Opportunities

4.3 PARTICIPATION OF STUDENTS

Student surveys are always conducted in the last weeks of the Semester, but before

final exams. QA Office processes all the data collected during the survey and

prepares usually three types of reports:

University- wide Report to inform senior university leadership and university

governance structures

Faculty- level Report to inform Faculty/Department /Study Program level

Individual Report for academic staff per courses they taught.

4.3.1 FEEDBACK LOOP AND COMMUNICATION

The reports mentioned in the previous section are further discussed and analyzed,

and serve as the basis for future activities at different levels, from the course, Study

Program to at Faculty/Department and university levels. The student surveys are

further used in the following manners:

They are used by the Senior Leadership as an indicator of progress (ANNEX)

They are taken into consideration in the annual process of assessment of

academic staff;

They are archived in order to inform future assessment of the Study Program;

85

They are discussed in the Senate and Faculty Councils and formally adopted by

these bodies;

They are used as input data for self-evaluation processes

This way ensures that any identified deficiency can be properly tackled and resolved

by the most competent agents.

Students are informed on the results of student surveys via its representatives in

university governance bodies such as Senate, Faculty QA Team and Faculty Council.

IUS Case Study: Students surveys used as a source of information for revising curricula

A recent example where the student survey results were taken aboard by the

University senior leadership is the revision of the Study Programme Curricula with

regard to University courses taught in the first two years of the 1st study cycle.

In the previous curricula (AY 2013-2014) the University courses were awarded with 60

ECTS and they were offered in two categories, as follows: University required and

University elective (9 required and 3 elective). In the Student Surveys conducted in the

course of the same academic year, students expressed their dissatisfaction with the number

of University courses, there „overcrowdings “as well as with the specific courses they

deemed as “least beneficial to their particular area of study.” These comments were

analysed on the Faculty/Department and Senate level in the process of self-evaluation. This

process resulted in the changes of the curricula for AY 2015-2016 in a manner that the

category of “University elective” courses was no longer offered, while at the same time the

number of University courses was reduced to the total of 8 required University courses or 36

ECTS award for this category of courses. The above described process consequently was

followed by refining and redefining learning outcomes for the 1st study cycle.

The established QA structures, procedures and practices, enable collection of

objective data that are used for analyses resulting in feasible measures for

improvements. Conclusions from the previous SER are always discussed during next

round of self-evaluation.

CHAPTER 6 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND

APPRECIATION OF THE ARTS

6.1 OBJECTIVES AND PERSPECTIVES FOR RESEARCH AND

DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDY PROGRAM

Objectives of the research and development of EEE program are in the line with

main strategic stream of the institution (IUS Strategic Plan for Period 2016-2020).

The main objectives for research and development of the program are:

To become a program-of-choice in Bosnia and Herzegovina, by offering

contemporary curricula with theoretical and practical learning, usage of modern

electrical engineering laboratories, and research possibilities.

To enhance multidisciplinary research with other IUS engineering programs, and

other universities and institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and abroad.

To increase the number of academic staff, who should be qualified, competent

and diverse in order to support teaching, research, and national/international

cooperation.

To increase the number of students who will add the value to the program in

terms of their contribution in the research and development.

The setup of the objectives could be seen in their multidisciplinary research design

and implementation, which is the milestone for research competences in this field.

These objectives and the institution’s strategic endeavors will create a long term

perspective baseline for the program’s research and development. The outcome of

such synergetic effect will produce versatile students which will be able and

competent to face global challenges of the modern industries as well as academia.

Students’ ability to work on real projects that require a multidisciplinary approach,

knowledge and skills, will show that the EEE program, along with institution’s

strategic objectives, is developing and conceiving prospective future leaders for the

contemporary world. This excellence of the program will create an international

cooperation and overcome barriers in offering scholarly solutions for the current

challenges in engineering fields worldwide.

Perspectives of the EEE program in the research are in:

93

Qualified and scholarly competent academic staff.

Upgrading laboratories according to capabilities and strategic plan.

Institutional financial and other support for the research.

EEE program team of professors and researchers have a strong commitment of

providing high-quality teaching and training for students at undergraduate level, and

increasing the research quality standards at graduate levels at IUS. For undergraduate

students, EEE offers laboratory tutorials and exercises for almost all courses. EEE

research staff represent young but experienced team of PhD holders with excellent

publication track-record. They possess required research expertise and know-how,

gained through their scientific doctoral and post-doctoral projects conducted at the

famous international universities, institutes and corporations.

EEE academic staff is bringing not only expertise and research experience but also

their professional networks that will have huge impact in the development of the

study program.

Further program development will be oriented to strengthening relationships with

local industry. This would considerably improve the link for market accessibility for

EEE graduates, but it would also bring opportunities for development of projects in

translational, industry-oriented research.

All aspects of EEE academic staff research activities should lead to an improvement

in teaching quality. Linking teaching and research is central to the institutional

mission and strategies and plans are made to ensure this. Some of these strategies

include:

- Permanent education of EEE staff to teach, focusing on the construction of

knowledge by students rather than the imparting of knowledge by instructors,

- Developing strategies across all disciplines that emphasize the uncertainty of the

task and strategies within the scientific disciplines,

- Ensuring that students experience the process of scientific productivity itself, not

just demonstration of data obtained from such a process.

94

6.2 SCIENTIFIC STAFF RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

Dedicated, competent and experienced academic staff of the EEE program creates a

positive research atmosphere. Scientific staff is involved in the research activities to

keep up to date on new methodological approaches and on current developments in

the engineering. This has a beneficial impact on teaching and learning since it

stimulates students’ interests and motivation for particular topic.

The program is equipped with modern laboratories where practical knowledge is

enforced. Laboratories of each course offered, create an interactive and direct

communication between teaching staff and students. An artistic approach of

disseminating knowledge among students in small laboratory classes from ongoing

research in this field is invaluable and attracts students to be involved and being a

member of a research team. Such students’ devotion produces competent and

prospective researchers who will contribute to development of the whole society.

Infrastructural means obtained through research projects are also used in teaching

activities. Research activities also contribute to updating the curriculum, positively

affecting the most of specialized courses. Moreover, since the courses are related to

research profiles of the lecturers, the relationship is more than favorable. The scope

for the two-way interactions between research and teaching is deliberately exploited.

Here the short description of research interests and activities of the EEE program

staff is given, whereas the detailed information and list of publications can be found

and protection of power systems. The smart laboratory features the latest in power protection

relays and software. Using the protection relays researchers will be able to explore and

experience the use of devices for overcurrent protection, line distance protection, line

differential protection, transformer differential protection and see how these protection

devices act on switching devices to detect and isolate faulted section of network and restore

the healthy section of the network

Research in GSM Laboratory covers different aspects of signal processing, digital

communication systems and circuits, information theory and mobile communications. Using

equipment installed in the laboratory researchers are able to experience the use of the second

generation of mobile communication equipment, to perform theoretical research, in field

measurements, configuration, optimization as well as to analyse effects of electromagnetic

radiation. It is already established cooperation with leading companies in Turkey, Ericsson

and Turkcel, as well as regional companies Ericsson BH and Communications Regulatory

Agency BH. Currently we are establishing joint research project with BHTelecom BH.

CHAPTER 7 NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

7.1 NATIONAL AND/OR INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

The EEE program implements national and international cooperation through the

University’s International Relation Office (IRO). This office is in charge of promoting the

University via an international exchange of academic non-academic/administrative staff and

researchers. As one of the institution’s strategic objectives, the strengthening cooperation in

teaching and research at national and international level, the EEE program contributes to it by

exchanging its staff with universities from almost every continent. The national/international

cooperation could be seen in the following:

International exchange programs with universities worldwide,

Cooperation with local universities and institutions,

Cooperation with local non-governmental organizations, international organizations and

associations.

The IRO office is devotedly working on establishment of partnership with other foreign

universities through the Erasmus+ program and Mevlana exchange program, for all

academics, students and administrative staff. The following table (Table 6.1) shows signed

agreements between EEE program and international universities in Turkey (6 universities)

and Spain (1 university).

IUS has achieved exceptional results in the field of academic cooperation and mobility of

students and staff who participated in the exchange programs in Europe and other parts of the

world. With the coordination of IRO, the number of exchanges has nearly tripled, compared

to the last year’s results. In 2016/17 academic year, 191 incoming and outgoing participants

were on exchange. Most students went abroad through the Erasmus + and Mevlana programs

or based on Memorandum of Cooperation IUS had previously signed with partner

102

universities abroad. The selected students acquired scholarships for higher education

programs, for one or two semesters, at reputable universities in Turkey, France, Germany,

Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Morocco, and

many other countries around the world.
