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

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
