Project objective
To innovate undergraduate curricula in
computer science by restructuring existing and involving new high quality
courses, introducing numerous innovations in presentation of teaching materials,
and especially in lab practicing.The project, in accordance with the
Tempus priorities for the FRY and 807, aims at solving the problems of: (a)
reconstruction of current computer science (CS) courses; (b) involving new CS
courses; and (c) establishing new teaching environment, especially in lab
practicing and Web-pages presentation of selected teaching materials.
The project concentrates in three main
directions:
First, restructured courses in computer
architecture, logic design, database systems, computer networks, and internet &
e-technologies .The reconstruction will allow us to update the current courses
in CS with innovative materials concerning new research and development
tendencies in these fields during the last two decades.
Second, new courses in computer science
will be involved in FRY. Two textbooks, manuals and corresponding Web based
courses will be developed. In this manner we will enrich our current curriculum
with high quality courses typical for involving new technologies and future
one’s in computer science.
Third, the project sets itself as a goal
to create new teaching environment in computer science courses. It will be
achieved by involving new teaching methods, designing of teaching laboratory for
lab practicing for group of computer science courses, creation of a companion
Web-pages presentation, data base of testing material suitable for electronic
testing and retraining of young teaching staff and student mobility. These
activities provide us a solid foundation and become familiar with common lab
tools and comfortable with modern hardware and software tools.
At the end of three year project the FRY
and 807 project partner institutions will know how and resources to provide
students (feature CS engineers and young teaching assistants) with high quality
education that will prepare them to be successful to take pace with global
education tendencies in Europe.
Dissemination actions concentrate mostly
on involving actions of durable character, both in FRY and 807. Several new and
restructured textbooks and manuals will be published, and free access Web pages
will be created.
