INTRODUCTION

This document includes a QC report on the meeting in Madrid on work and results of the WP3

“Creation of new curriculum for academic master studies in DBBT” and the WP4 “Creation of new

curriculum for vocational master studies in DBBT” within the tasks 3.3 ”New curriculum for academic

master studies in the field of DBBT” and 4.3 ”New curriculum for vocational master studies in the

field of DBBT”, respectively.

The working groups consist of representatives of following institutions: UPKM, UNIBL, UNBI, SINGI,

VISER, HTPSZ, VSB-TUO, UL, UPM, UTARTU, TVMREZA, JPETV and ATV.

Reference on Minutes of meeting

The report of QC on the meeting in the Madrid is as follows:

1. By decision of PMC and QB in Madrid it was agreed that EU project participants who

were not directly involved in activities for accreditation nor were WP leaders should

perform project internal quality check.

2. 4 WB academic and 2 WB vocational institutions submitted the list of courses with

ECTS points and filled the agreed forms with the content for each course

Evaluated documents

Here are presented the ECTS tables of each institution. The ECTS points are correctly

distributed, the teaching purpose, teaching outcome, description of courses, evaluation of

students' activities was properly and clear stated, according to the EU educational

recommendations. We approve the quality check

Practical teaching:

During the course of student internship 1 in the second semester, students are fully involved

in solving the tasks assigned in the field of digital broadcasting and broadband technolgies.

Collaborating with their mentor, students devise ways of solving the assigned practical tasks,

implement them and evaluate the outcomes. They attend team meetings and actively

participate in choosing the methods and approaches to solve the assigned tasks.

Independently yet under the mentor's supervision, students execute practical activities for

the company's current projects. They apply contemporary methods and technologies

adapted to the specific means at company's disposal. Under their mentor's guidance, they

propose and implement micro-surveys with the aim of improving existing solutions. While

doing so, they keep notes of the internship and ultimately write reports.

Learning outcomes Upon successful completion of this practical course, students will be able to:

Independently carry out the selection methods for solving the assignments in the

field of digital broadcasting and broadband technologies as a part of the internship

with companies allied to the higher education institution.

independently plan and implement various kinds of activities for solving the

assignments

Contribute the improvement of existing solutions by proposing and participating

Closely collaborate with mentor and team members in solving given problems

Applied research

Applied research is a project which solves a practical problem in the field of digital

broadcasting and broadband technologies, and that is a function of making

Postgraduated/Master work. Applied research is done, with the consent of the mentor, in

companies engaged in broadcasting and telecommunication engineering with which the

institution has an agreement. Realization of applied research can begin when a student

passes the exam in the subject Research Methods and when he was granted

Postgraduated/Master work theme. Upon completion of the project student, with the

consent of the mentor, the results of the project, in the form of a seminar paper, gives to

student service. In the final exam the student defends work with the Postgraduated/Master

thesis mentor. This research, after possible corrections, becomes part of the

Postgraduated/Master of work.

Learning outcomes Reaearch of practical problems in the field of digital broadcasting and broadband

technologies, publication and application of research results.

Content General facilities: Postgraduated/Master thesis work on the Postgraduated/Master vocational studies

represent the practical research work of students where students apply the acquired

knowledge in the field of digital broadcasting and broadband technologies and research

methodology. Postgraduated/Master 's thesis is a project which solves a practical problem in

the field of digital broadcasting and broadband technologies, which was accepted by the

respective companies and higher education institutions in which the student is studying.

Postgraduated/Master thesis is made in companies with which the higher education

institution has a contract.

Once adopted theme of the Postgraduated/Master thesis, students make study research

project which must be approved by a mentor. After that, the student, in the framework of

applied research activities, conducts research and writes a report on the research conducted

in the form of a seminar paper. After passing the exam in Applied Research

Postgraduated/Master student writes a paper that contains the results of applied research.

Postgraduated/Master thesis contains the following sections: Introduction, theoretical part,

experimental part, results and discussion, conclusion, literature review, contributions.

After completing the work, the student in consultation and coordination with the supervisor

access to the public defense of the final work. Member of the commission for the defense of

the final work is representative of the company in which the candidate realizes

Postgraduated/Master thesis.

Learning outcomes It is expected that the students develop the following competencies:

• Ability of students to apply theoretical and empirical research methods in the field of

digital broadcasting and broadband technologies;

• ability of students to identify, shape methodological, theoretical and empirical explore

practical problems in companies engaged in broadcast and telecommunication engineering;

• develop the ability of students to improving the application of telecommunication
