Physical Electronics studies were established at the Faculty of Electrical
Engineering in Belgrade in 1955. The Department was founded with Prof.
Dragisa Ivanovic initiative and primary was named the Department of
Physics and Nuclear Engineering. Introducing new courses Physics of
Electrical Materials and Physical and Engineering Measurements, the
Department became more connected to the School of Electrical Engineering
and in 1958 was transformed into the Department of Engineering Physics.
In 1963 the Department decided to include the education in the field
of automatic control, and changed the name to the Department of Engineering
Physics and Automatics. In the aim to be attractive and up-to date,
since 1970 The Department started the Division of data processing.
After some time this Division became the independent Department of
computer science and techniques. Rapid development of new disciplines:
microelectronics, optoelectronics and laser techniques, biomedical
and nuclear engineering, and technology of electrotechnic materials
led to the establishment of the divisions with the same names. Due
to modernization, in 1993 the Department of Engineering Physics emerged
as the Department of Physical Electronics.
Students, who earned Bachelor Degree from this Department, possess
broad knowledge in mathematics, modern physics and electrical engineering.
These engineers are highly flexible and successful in almost every
branch of electrical engineering. This educational concept at the
Department of Physical Electronics gave over 1300 B.Sc., about 250
M. Sc. and more than 100 Ph.D. in the last 43 years.
Attractive and modern disciplines at the Department and wide applicability
in further research and development institutes as well as in industry
engage a large number of B.Sc.E.E. to proceed with graduate studies
toward M.Sc. and Ph.D.
n 1960s
a new science discipline, Microelectronics, was born. Microelectronics
is dealing with transportation problems of charged particles and
its effects on the structures and devices of micron dimensions,
as well as with the production of those devices. Microelectronics'
products are essential in different fields of science, techniques
and industry. Microelectronics dominates in area of computer engineering,
telecommunication, radiotechniques, automatics, measurement technics,
and affects the development of energetics, information technologies,
medicine, architecture, machine industry, aeronautics and military
engineering. The Division of Microelectronics encompasses solid
state electronics, planar processes for integrated circuits, electronics,
computer engineering, and microelectronics circuits design. Special
attention is given to the problems of reliability and quality. B.
Sc. E. E. from this division are specialists for design and manufacturing
of integrated circuits for versatile applications.
he
invention of laser and interrelation between optics and electronics
established the new branch of science - Optoelectronics. Laser techniques
and Optoelectronics entered into everyday life through CCD-s, which
are used for signal recording, laser printers, laser measurement
systems, recognition systems, laser systems for material processing.
Optical fibers are applied for fiber-optics in voice, data, and
video communications, as well as for sensing nonelectrical quantities.
The program of the Division for Optoelectronics and Laser Engineering
includes Physical Electronics of Gases, Solid State Electronics
and Quantum Electronics. The students become familiarized with processes
essential for functioning of optoelectronic elements and systems
through the courses of Electrooptics, Optoelectronic devices, and
Optoelectronic and Laser Systems. Further specialization can be
acquired through elective courses or graduate studies in Optoelectronics
and Physical Electronics of Solid State and plasma.

and everyday application of highly sophisticated medical equipment
demands specialist in this area. At the Division for biomedical
and nuclear engineering students are trained to work with those
systems and apparatus. The students obtain the fundamental knowledge
through courses of Nuclear Physics, Biophysics, and Nuclear Engineering,
and advanced knowledge through Biomedical Instrumentation, Radiation
Dose Measurement and Radiation Measurement, Biomedical Nuclear Engineering,
Medical Information systems, and Biomechanics and Biomedical Materials.
Elective courses can improve knowledge in laser application in medicine,
and biosensors and biotransducers. In cooperation with physicians,
B.Sc.E.E. from this Division can work on the development of the
expert medical systems, on-line systems for surgical interventions,
recognition, solving software and hardware problems, and medical
equipment maintenance. The graduate studies in this field are natural
sequence to acquire higher level of education and expertness.
