• material for practical exercises (assignments, rules, solutions,tools…);• supporting literature for students (the reference list and/or actualreading material).2.1 The MSc curriculum will establish a number of technical editors(TEs), who are expert in particular subject(s) in the field. Each TE isresponsible for the technical direction and evolution of the module(s)in his/her subject area.2.2 The requirement specification of a module is clearly documented inwhat is known as module template. The development of a modulemust follow and satisfy its template.2.3 Any changes in the module must be approved by the TE in chargeand be reflected in the template itself.2.4 Modules go through minor and major revisions on an annual basis.2.5 Prior to its first delivery, a module goes through two releases: draftandfinal- releases. In the former, a dry-run is given to a selectedaudience (members of the teaching staff) and their feedback is takeninto account in the second release.2.6 Modules have module feedback form where students are asked tofill at the end of each module delivery. These are collated, analysedand reported to the module TE.2.7 Every module must be evaluated by the teaching team at the end ofeach delivery. The evaluation should take into considerationachievement rates, student views, external examiners comments andthe observation of the teaching team. Module evaluation should leadto action for enhancement where problems are identified.2.8 A module is retired if its objectives do not fit the purpose it wasoriginally believed.3. Module Assessment3.1 Three modes of assessment exist: unseen paper, course-work, andmixture of unseen paper and course-work. The choice depends onthe nature of the module.3.2 An internal process should exist to ensure the quality (with respect tolearning outcomes) of the assessed work. Such process should havean internal moderator who checks (and sign-off) the unseen paperand/or the course-work.3.3 An external examiner (EE) is appointed to ensure that the qualityof the assessed work is of a national and Joint studies standards. TheEE should be an experienced academic or industrialist.4. Students’ Selection4.1 Being an advanced master in software engineering, the recommendedtarget intake group is as follows:http://perun.im.ns.ac.yu/msc-se/ 8
• current practitioners with adequate relevant experience;• new graduates of computer science or software engineering;• Computer scientists or software engineers who require retraining orundertake career development;• students wishing to embark on a research curriculum, at a PhD level,in software engineeringThere are no restrictions regarding the average grade mark in previouseducation unless stated otherwise in national laws or universityregulations.4.2 We should note that new graduates of subjects such as mathematics,engineering and physics may also be considered as we have aninduction provision in the curriculum which intends to provide adequatebackground knowledge in software engineering to allow them to followthe rest of the curriculum.4.3 As the general guidelines for those who wish to attend the Joint MSccurriculum, we provide the following competencies that are expectedfrom every student. These guidelines can be also used by theinstitution to decide whether or not an induction is necessary.• fundamental knowledge in basic fields of mathematics;• ability of logical thinking, formulation of prerequisites, and derivingconclusions in a formal or formalized way;• ability to understand and formulate problem, and its modelling toenable its analysis and solving;• programming skills in at least procedural and object-orientedprogramming paradigm;• understanding of all phases in the software development cycle:requirements, analysis, design, implementation, testing,maintenance;• practical skills in using of programming environments, databasemanagement systems (DBMS), and computer-aided softwareengineering (CASE) tools;• understanding of current trends in the development of informatics• ability to adapt to new circumstances, i.e., ability to learn newmodels, techniques and technologies as they emerge and appreciatethe necessity of such continuing professional development;• appreciation of basic ethical and social responsibilities of informationtechnology (IT).5. The quality teamWe recognize the following roles and their duties in the process of thedeveloping and delivering study packs.http://perun.im.ns.ac.yu/msc-se/ 9
