| Wider Objective | Indicators of progress | How indicators can be assessed | Assumptions & risks |
| To increase quality of computer science curriculum in higher education up to the level of EU standards, in order to take pace with global education tendencies in Europe. | Consultations with representatives of Holding Company Electronic Industry Nis and other smaller enterprises from south-east Serbia concerning their needs for education of students in computer sciences.Direct involving of students in realization of industry projects. | Numerous contracts between University and Holding Company EI Nis defining research/development programs. Increased number of graduate student employments on industrial positions. | Government decisions about redirection of production program of Holding Company EI Nis. Low profit of selected programs |
| Project Objective | |||
| To innovate undergraduate curricula in computer science, by restructuring existing and involving new high quality courses, flexible enough to adapt to the new technologies and the future one's. To develop cooperation between consortium partners. | Increased number of students taking computer science courses. Growing interest of local companies for employment of new graduated computer science engineers. | Facta Universitatis (quarterly Journal published by University of Nis)Quintal report of Faculty of Electronic engineering.Reports of local job finding office. | Direct support for curriculum innovation from University |
