The academic program of undergraduate studies - the first cycle (Bologna), Engineering for environmental protection is designed as a highly interdisciplinary study program. In the realization of the program the curriculum areas of environmental protection, machinery, energy, electrical engineering, management, construction and basic scientific disciplines of math, chemistry, physics and other sciences that form the basis of multidisciplinary engineering study program for environment protection are studied. One of the specific purposes, which is consistent with the goals of educating professionals at the Technical Faculty, is developing a level of knowledge and awareness among students about the need for permanent education (Long Life Learning - 3L), especially in the areas of plausible development and environmental protection. The aim of the study program also is to educate professionals in the domain of the teamwork, as well as developing the abilities and skills for announcing and displaying the results to the professional and general public.
The universal phenomenon of global warming, acid rain, the greenhouse effect, holes in the ozone layer, extinction of complete ranges of plants and animals, changed conditions of life, destruction of the natural resources and riches at a global and local national level grow into one of the most important world issues and factors in the future odrzliv development of the human civilization. A special problem for the transition of countries (such as the Republic of Macedonia) is the unequal economic growth, the need for plausible development, imperatively impose the need for educated professionals who in the commercial and industrial systems, public enterprises and state institutions will be ready and educated in such a way to solve the accumulated complex problems in the area of engineering for environment protection. The interdisciplinarity of the study program of the engineering for environment protection is the one which is the result of technical and engineering knowledge, provides an opportunity to educate engineers for the environmental protection who will be able to solve the accumulated issues in the system of environmental protection, and also in other industrial and commercial systems in the Republic and outside its borders. Engineering for environment protection program that was created as a response to the needs of the industry, economy and the institutions that are faced with the problems relating to environmental protection and which need engineers with interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of engineering for environment protection.
This study program in Technical Faculty - Bitola is to educate students about the profession of engineer for environment protection in accordance to the needs and development of the country, which in direction of society development must be resolved. The aim of the study program is achieving competence and academic knowledge and skills in the engineering field of environmental protection. It includes among other developing innovative engineering capabilities for consideration of ecological problems, to develop the characteristics of teamwork, cooperation, communication skills and subduing specific practical skills needed for an optimum professional work.
The title of the study program for undergraduate studies is "the first cycle is Engineering for environment protection". It follows the needs of the economy of the Republic of Macedonia and the adoption of the new law for higher education, new curricula are organized into two cycles:
Bologna first cycle with a duration of eight (8) semesters (four academic years) and
Bologna second cycle with a duration of two (2) semesters (one academic year).
At the undergraduate studies - Bologna first cycle, which last for four academic years there is one study group: Engineering for environmental protection.
In the course of study, students are given the opportunity, according to their own aspirations and desires, in addition to the compulsory subjects, to elect a number of optional subjects. The compulsory as well as the optional subjects, are defined on the basis of dominant identified problems of the environmental protection in our country, the region and globally, and also on the basis of experience and similar study programs in the EU and the countries worldwide. The structure of the studies is organized such that the first six semesters have common subjects for the three modules, which then constitute a ground for subduing the professional disciplines in the seventh and eighth semester, as well as during the second cycle of the study. After the seventh semester students can choose one of the three modules. Thus, the students are offered a broad opportunity to build themselves as specialists in more specialized areas, with an opportunity to choose many vocational subjects from one or more areas. Therefore, in order to provide a greater flexibility of the study program, during the academic years, in addition to the compulsory subjects, optional subjects are also projected. The optional subjects are chosen from groups of enclosed subjects, but the students have an opportunity, according to their own aspirations and desires, but in accordance with the teachers, to choose one of the subjects from the Technical Faculty-Bitola, St. Kliment Ohridski University. At the same time certain conditions that are prescribed for attending the classes of the optional subject should be fulfilled. Each subject brings a certain number of European credits (ECTS), and for the completion (graduation) of the first cycle, it is necessary to achieve the minimum 240 european credits. For the completion (graduation) of the second cycle, it is necessary to achieve the total of 300 European credits.
Students at the end of the study of the first cycle, after the accomplishing the required minimum of 240 European points, graduate and gain a degree "Bachelor of University Engineer of Engineering for Environment Protection" or "Bachelor of Science in Environment Protection Engineering". Students at the end of the study of the second cycle, after fulfulling the required minimum of 300 European points, graduate and gain a degree "Master of Engineering in Environment Protection" or "Master of Science in Environment Protection Engineering Engineering ". The graduate students of the first cycle of university studies in engineering for the environment protection are capable, in an appropriate manner, to design, and project and present results and activities out of the engineering practice. Graduates of the first cycle are competent to apply their knowledge into practice and monitor news in the profession, solve problems at all levels and collaborate with local social and international institutions and organizations. Graduates in engineering for environmental protection – Associate degree (second cycle), are able to define and present the results of the work in an appropriate manner with a very intensive use of information and communication technologies.
Graduates of the second cycle own also additional competencies, unlike students from undergraduate studies, to apply the knowledge into practice and monitoring the implementation of innovations in the profession. Students are qualified to project, organize and manage the environmental protection. Graduates (First and Second cycle), from engineering for environmental protection also gain competencies so as to keep using the resources of the Republic of Macedonia in accordance with the fundamental principles of plausible development. During the study program, students in particular nurture and develop the ability for teamwork and development of professional ethics.
