We are updating web pages of our faculty at the moment, so we apologize in advance for any outdated information.
The academic studies and research activities at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science are carried out in the following institutes:
- Institute of Automation
The Institute of Automation participates in basic and applied research in the fields of electrical and high precision measurements of electrical and non-electrical quantities, measurement automation, signal processing, and remote control, sensor systems, system theory and control, modelling, identification, computer control of processes, system design and automation, software in automation, expert systems in automation, fuzzy control systems, man-machine communication, electro-optics systems, programmable logic control systems, and real-time control systems.
- Institute of Electronics
Primary areas of study for the Institute of Electronics are speech recognition, language technology, multimedia systems, electronic circuits, digital filters, microcomputer systems, formal verification of distributed systems, communication protocols, and digital signal processing.
- Institute of Power Engineering
The research work of the Institute of Power Engineering is divided into three main areas: electromagnetic devices; production, transmission and distribution of electric energy; and power system control. The research on electromagnetic devices is focused on numerical methods. The research on electric energy deals mainly with optimisation processes, reliability, and the quality of electric energy. Modernising control of power systems is the subject of the third topic.
- Institute of Robotics
The Institute of Robotics performs basic and applied research for the development and building of robot systems, production automation, sensor systems, control theory, modelling, identifications, computer process control, industrial robotics, servo-systems, robot controllers, real-time control systems, advanced control algorithms for the control of position, speed, and torque.
- Institute of Computer Science
The main research areas of the Institute of Computer Science are: computer graphics, artificial intelligence, computer animation, multimedia, programming languages, computer architecture, digital libraties, heterogenous computing, inteligent systems, medical informatics, software engineering, signal and image processing, and system software.
- Institute of Informatics
The Institute of Informatics conducts research in the fields of software engineering with special focus on object-oriented methods and tools, information system design, intelligent system supporting system engineering activities, expert system design, database design, and design and implementation of software quality management methodologies.
- Institute of Telecommunications
The Institute of Telecommunications is still in the formation phase. Its main research areas are development of concurrent telecommunication services and protocol stacks and transfer of these results to the next generation networks in the Slovene telecommunication industry.
- Institute of Media Communications
The Institute of Media Communication is still in the formation phase. Its activities are interdisciplinary research from the areas of radio- and TV-production, information systems and graphical communication.
- Institute of Mathematics and Physics.
Members of the Institute of Mathematics and Physics are participating in research activities at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and at the Institute of Mathematics, Physics, and Mechanics at the University of Ljubljana.
The institutes are further divided into laboratories. The laboratories’ members teach subjects grouped according to similar contents. At the same time, they concentrate on the corresponding research topics. The entire teaching and research activities are managed and performed by 21 professors, 20 associate professors, 16 assistant professors, 11 senior lecturers, 74 teaching assistants, 43 researchers, and 76 technical and administration staff members.
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science offers two separate types of undergraduate study programmes, each leading to a different type of degree: academic and professional. Five undergraduate study programmes are offered leading towards the academic degrees and two study programmes leading towards the professionally oriented degrees:
1. Electrical Engineering (academic),
2. Computer and Information Science (academic),
3. Telecommunications (academic),
4. Media Communications (academic),
5. Industrial Engineering – option Electrical Engineering (academic),
6. Electrical Engineering (professionally oriented),
7. Computer and Information Science (professionally oriented).
Academic undergraduate study programmes could be also called the scientific programmes. These programmes require strategic knowledge with mastering of a scientific research work methodology. Academic graduates are destined for science, university, and leading positions in the economy and administration.
Professionally oriented study programmes could be also called the applied programmes. Graduates of these programmes are ready to start working at application-oriented jobs immediately after the graduation.
Postgraduate studies basically aim at the acquisition of in-depth theoretical and applied knowledge enabling the prospective graduate to carry out independent and creative research in various technical sciences.
Two postgraduate programmes are currently being offered:
1. Electrical Engineering,
2. Computer and Information Science.
