History

The University of Split was officially established on 15 June 1974 when the units having already had an effect in their professional, scientific and teaching areas entered its structure. As a predominant scientific and teaching public institution in the region the University of Split has expanded during the course of the past 30 years to include eleven Faculties, one Academy of Arts and four University Departments. There are about 25,000 students enrolled in the university's undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate programs. Currently a new campus is being built, which was supposed to be finished in 2014 but the economy crisis slowed it down so delays are to be expected. It will house all of the faculties, a large student center with a sports hall, sporting grounds and a

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (

The faculty was established in 1960 as a fully autonomous and independent organization within the University of Zagreb. In 1971 the faculty was renamed as the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Split (FESB). Since 1974 the faculty has been a constituent part of the University of Split. The faculty, as one of the founders of the university, significantly contributed to its establishment.^{[citation needed]} The four-year Mechanical Engineering programme of study with its own curriculum was finally completed in 1976.

The first phase in the construction of the new Faculty building was completed in 1980 at the university campus and the second phase of the large project was completed in 2007. The faculty now has at its disposal almost 30,000 m2 of space with 19 classrooms, 11 computer laboratories and 95 research and teaching laboratories.

The faculty has an internal division of organizational units for teaching and scientific research, administrative and technical work. The department as an academic organizational unit participates in organizing and carrying out teaching, scientific and professional work. Faculty's Departments are:

• Department of Power Engineering,
• Department of Electronics and Computing,
• Department of Mathematics and Physics,
