A detailed map of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) with instructions on how to reach all rooms can be found here.
The year 2013 is the 344th year since the establishment of the University of Zagreb, 94th year of study of electrical engineering and the 57th year of autonomous Faculty of Electrical Engineering. In 1994, the Faculty changed its name becoming the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) reflecting the fact that eminent professionals in electrical engineering but also in computing have been coming from this institution.
The primary mission of the Faculty is to prepare students to perform direct tasks on their workplaces. However, what might be even more important is to accept permanent education as a necessity in a profession that is undergoing dramatic changes. The present research and educational staff comprises more than 140 professors and 230 teaching and research assistants. The Faculty has developed respectable international cooperation with many institutions around the world.
ZAGREB
Zagreb, Croatia's capital and the largest city in the country, is a typical Central European town. It is a city of a million inhabitants that has managed to stay romantic and eventful. It grew out of two medieval settlements that flourished for centuries on neighbouring hills. Zagreb's written history dates to the year 1094, when a diocese was established there. The classicist and secessionist facades of its historical nucleus exude the lofty spirit of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Almost all of the main sites of the city and cultural venues are located in the very centre.
Zagreb offers visitors pleasant walks and enjoyment in a city full of parks and pedestrian zones. Zrinjevac, a park located only a few steps away from the main square, also forms part of the Lenuci green horseshoe that encompasses some of the most beautiful buildings in town.
