Master - Faculty of Electrical Engineering - University of Sarajevo

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering

We offers four master programmes in local languages.

All study programmes last two years (4 semesters, 120 ECTS credits) and offer wide range of elective courses for futher specializations. These study programmes cover a wide range of advance topics in the fields of Electrical Engineering (control, electronics, signal processing, power engineering, information theory, etc) and Computing (computer science, computer engineering & software engineering, information systems, information technologies, cybersecurity, data science, etc).

You can find more information at respective pages of those programs:

General Programme Outcomes for Master Degree Programmes

Knowledge and Understanding

The learning process should enable Master Degree graduates to demonstrate:

in-depth knowledge and understanding of mathematics and sciences underlying their engineering specialisation, at a level necessary to achieve the other programme outcomes;
in-depth knowledge and understanding of engineering disciplines underlying their specialisation, at a level necessary to achieve the other programme outcomes;
critical awareness of the forefront of their specialisation;
critical awareness of the wider multidisciplinary context of engineering and of knowledge issues at the interface between different fields.

Engineering Analysis

The learning process should enable Master Degree graduates to demonstrate:

ability to analyse new and complex engineering products, processes and systems within broader or multidisciplinary contexts;
to select and apply the most appropriate and relevant methods from established analytical, computational and experimental methods or new and innovative methods;
to critically interpret the outcomes of such analyses;
ability to conceptualise engineering products, processes and systems;
ability to identify, formulate and solve unfamiliar complex engineering problems that are incompletely defined, have competing specifications, may involve considerations from outside their field of study and non-technical – societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial – constraints;
to select and apply the most appropriate and relevant methods from established analytical, computational and experimental methods or new and innovative methods in problem solving;
ability to identify, formulate and solve complex problems in new and emerging areas of their specialisation.

Engineering Design

The learning process should enable Master Degree graduates to demonstrate:

ability to develop, to design new and complex products (devices, artefacts, etc.), processes and systems, with specifications incompletely defined and/or competing, that require integration of knowledge from different fields and non-technical – societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial commercial – constraints;
to select and apply the most appropriate and relevant design methodologies or to use creativity to develop new and original design methodologies.
ability to design using knowledge and understanding at the forefront of their engineering specialisation.

Investigations

The learning process should enable Master Degree graduates to demonstrate:

ability to identify, locate and obtain required data;
ability to conduct searches of literature, to consult and critically use databases and other sources of information, to carry out simulation in order to pursue detailed investigations and research of complex technical issues;
ability to consult and apply codes of practice and safety regulations;
advanced laboratory/workshop skills and ability to design and conduct experimental investigations, critically evaluate data and draw conclusions;
ability to investigate the application of new and emerging technologies at the forefront of their engineering specialisation.

Engineering Practice

The learning process should enable Master Degree graduates to demonstrate:

comprehensive understanding of applicable techniques and methods of analysis, design and investigation and of their limitations;
practical skills, including the use of computer tools, for solving complex problems, realising complex engineering design, designing and conducting complex investigations;
comprehensive understanding of applicable materials, equipment and tools, engineering technologies and processes, and of their limitations;
ability to apply norms of engineering practice;
knowledge and understanding of the non-technical – societal, health and safety, environmental, economic and industrial – implications of engineering practice;
critical awareness of economic, organisational and managerial issues (such as project management, risk and change management)

Making Judgement Skills

The learning process should enable Master Degree graduates to demonstrate:

ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, to formulate judgements with incomplete or limited information, that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgement;
ability to manage complex technical or professional activities or projects that can require new strategic approaches, taking responsibility for decision making.

Communication and Team-working Skills

The learning process should enable Master Degree graduates to demonstrate:

ability to use diverse methods to communicate clearly and unambiguously their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences in national and international contexts;
ability to function effectively in national and international contexts, as a member or leader of a team, that may be composed of different disciplines and levels, and that may use virtual communication tools.

Lifelong Learning Skills

The learning process should enable Master Degree graduates to demonstrate:

ability to engage in independent life-long learning;
ability to undertake further study autonomously.
