ENT at Osijek faculties: knowledge in practice, from C programming to mobile networks
December 9, 2025
Ericsson Nikola Tesla continues to build bridges between academia and industry through lectures at Osijek technical faculties, with the aim of motivating students and bringing closer the application of knowledge in real projects.
The first lecture was held at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology (FERIT) as part of the Advanced Programming course. Our experts Marko Rajković and Denis Bešić presented the most important concepts of the C programming language to graduate students (branches Communications and Informatics and Automotive Computing and Communications) along with examples of good practice from everyday work at ENT. The emphasis was on code quality, memory management and standardization, which are key elements in the development of reliable ICT solutions. The lecture was well received, and Prof. Marijan Herceg, the course professor, pointed out that the course content was excellently complemented by the material presented.
The second lecture was organized at the School of Applied Mathematics and Informatics (MATHOS) as part of the course Introduction to Computer Science (1st year), held by Prof. Domagoj Matijević. Alumni student Patrick Nikić introduced the world of mobile networks to students through the lecture Introduction to Cellular Networks. Along with an overview of basic concepts and photographs of base stations from the Osijek area, the lecture showed how theoretical knowledge from mathematics and computer science is applied in optimizing network performance. The professor emphasized that the lecture provided students with additional motivation at the beginning of their studies.
Both lectures are connected by a common goal: to motivate future engineers, show them how knowledge of programming, mathematics and computer science is used in real projects, and encourage them to consider a career in the ICT sector. ENT’s participation in FERIT and MATHOS confirms our commitment to developing talent, cooperation with the academic community, and creating opportunities for students to learn about technologies that shape the future.
