Past and Present:

1990 - The Faculty of Automatics, Computer Science and Electronics was founded, based on the Automatics and Computer Science specialisation within the Faculty of Electrical Engineering; The faculty developed gradually and more specialisations were added to the initial two (Automatics and Industrial Information Technology and Computer Science): Applied Electronics (1992), Applied Computer Science (2000), Mechatronics (2001), Multimedia Systems Engineering (2005) and Robotics (2006).

International academic cooperation programmes:

After 1990, the international academic cooperation agreements started with 8 TEMPUS programmes, which resulted in the modernization of laboratories, student and teaching staff mobility and the modernisation of curricula and teaching methods. The TEMPUS agreements and the participation of teachers in international conferences and workshops enhanced academic cooperation with foreign partners. A number of Ph.D. students was awarded World Bank scholarships, subsequently continuing their post-doctoral research at well-known universities abroad. Every year there are numerous teachers participating in scientific programmes abroad or research internships.
