IntroductionIntroduction• Study of mechanical engineering started at the MEF in
Slavonski Brod before 45 years (since 1962). At its beginnings, the classes had been held within the Centre for study of the High Technical College in Zagreb.
• Following its integration with the Mechanical and Maritime Engineering Faculty into the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Zagreb (FSB) in 1967, the Centre for study continued its activities as a FSB Centre for mechanical engineering study in Slavonski Brod. In 1975 “Centre” is jointed to J.J. Strossmayer University of Osijek.
• In 1979, the MEF is founded and operates as a part of the „Institute for Mechanical Engineering“ of the „Đuro Đaković“ company until 1991. From then, it exists as a Faculty inside the J. J. Strossmayer University of Osijek.

Activities over the past three years of Activities over the past three years of the „Bologna process“ implementationthe „Bologna process“ implementation• Preparatory seminars for students of the undergraduate
study (mathematics, physics, basics of mechanical engineering, computer science, …)
• “mentor work“ with student groups • The possibility of passing exams throughout the current
semester by periodic knowledge tests (i.e. colloquia, seminar papers etc.)
• The possibility of choosing a professor for lecture and exam• Optional repetitions of segments or whole lectures on
students request• Optional selection of additional program (foreign languages,
Internet work, …)• Institutional monitoring of education quality with particular
emphasis on courses identified as „narrow gap“ for students.

Difficulties throughout the past three years of Difficulties throughout the past three years of implementation of the „Bologna process“implementation of the „Bologna process“
• Insufficient of students pre-knowledge in Physics and Mathematics
• Low motivation of some students for study• Some students did not recognise possibilities of “mentor
work” • 2 additional lecture amphitheatre are needed as well as one
bigger fully equipped laboratory • Several lab technician for practical education• A need for changes and supplement of study programs • Low motivation of young graduates to apply for positions of
Scientific Novices who could contribute to implementation of “Bologna process”
• Mobilty of students and professors, “learning outcomes” , …

ConclusionsConclusions
• Based upon survey response, we conclude that students rate their professors as very good on average.
• Efforts on “Bologna process” implementation in our education system gave evident progress!
• We shall continue to implement all positive experience in education process from other faculties to obtain prescribed goals of “Bologna process”.
