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.
