Agile software development and formal methods are seemingly on the opposite ends of the rigorousness scale. If carefully used, the can efficiently function in synergy to provide an evolutionary, iterative and tailorable process for a correct-by-construction system. In this work, we present the use of agile and formal methods in the academic context at the project course. We describe the development...
To achieve EMC compliance one cannot ignore EMC education as a dependent variable factor for all involved. At the dawn of the radio era Crystal and TRF radios (Tuned Radio Frequency) were very kinesthetic to operate, creating deep learning understanding. Just as we take traffic lights at intersections for granted every day, likewise one may assume that the rules that govern cell phone use, radio listening...
This short manuscript presents our preliminary results on students' study habits and the impact of these habits on their grades. Preliminary data related to three engineering classes is presented.

The rapid development of digital technology and the constantly increasing number of online information sources have meant that students' skills related to information seeking are crucial for academic success. This Paper presents the selected findings of a case study with an emphasis on identifying differences and similarities between international and Croatian students' information seeking skills...
Background: Industry experiments are typically associated with higher external validity compared to academic experiments. However, when conducting industry experiments, dropouts and incomplete experimental tasks are quite common, which is unusual in academic experiments. To the best of our knowledge, this phenomenon has not been reported in the literature. Aim: Identify the circumstances that explain...
This paper studies the use of the Gherkin language in education, as a tool that aims to enhance the logical thinking of the students. To achieve this, the design of a user-friendly application will be presented. This application will allow the students to create their own logical expressions and test different scenarios that can be selected by their instructor, in an effort to familiarize themselves...
The software architecture is usually the first design artifact that addresses quality issues (e.g., performance, security). Also, the architecture is reference point for other development activities, e.g., coding and maintenance. Based on our experience teaching software engineering and architecture at different institutions and levels, we discuss what makes teaching software architecture difficult,...
Lately, the number of Study Programs (SPs) in higher education has increased notably and became more closely related to each other. This leaves prospective students to find their desired SP within a wide range of available SPs. Ultimately some of the students end up with an ambiguous variety to choose from. In this study, we developed a Study Field Recommender System for Prospective Students (SFRecSysPS)...
