ACCREDITATION OF LABORATORIES OF UNIVERSITY OF ZAGREB FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

The laboratories of the Faculty of Civil Engineering, organized in an integrated quality management system, have successfully completed the accreditation procedure in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The accreditation procedure was carried out by the Croatian Accreditation Agency. This confirms the high quality level of our laboratories based on accuracy, precision and transparency.

Reliable tests and measurements confirmed by accreditation support the quality guarantee, reduce business risk and promote innovation and competitiveness on the national and international market for all users of the services of accredited laboratories.
The scope of accreditation covers a wide range of test methods for water, soils, construction products and structures performed in the Geotechnical Laboratory, Hydrotechnical Laboratory, Materials Laboratory, Roads Laboratory and Structural Testing Laboratory. More detailed information about the accredited test methods can be found on the website of the Croatian Accreditation Agency (Accreditation Certificate).
We congratulate the staff of all laboratories on this valuable recognition and look forward to future cooperation with all our partners from industry and research!

FACULTY OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

Welcome to Faculty of Civil Engineering University of Zagreb.

Civil engineering studies were initiated with the establishment of the Technical College in Zagreb on 1^st October l9l9. The Civil Engineering Division was situated on the first floor of the converted school building at 6, Roosevelt Square. In l926 the Technical College integrated into the University of Zagreb as the Technical Faculty. In l940 the Faculty moved into a new building at 26, Fra Andrije Kačića-Miošića Street, where civil engineering courses are still being held. In l956 the Technical Faculty branched into several faculties, among which was the Faculty of Architecture-Civil Engineering-Surveying, which in l962 became three separate faculties, and thus the independent Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb, was established.

In l977 the Faculty of Civil Engineering merged with the Civil Engineering Institute of Croatia. In the same year the two existing colleges of civil engineering joined the Faculty and continued to provide civil engineering courses, thus offering their undergraduates adequate vocational qualifications after 5 semesters. On 1^st July l99l the Faculty of Civil Engineering once again became an independent institution within the University of Zagreb.

In l948 new courses were introduced such as structures, transportation engineering and hydraulic engineering, and in l970 an organisational-technological course. Since 1977 a construction management course has been available, providing the opportunity for students with completed high school vocational qualifications (after 5 semesters) to continue their education at university level. However, in 1988 this was gradually phased out.

The first civil engineering undergraduates took their degrees in l923, since when almost 8 000 have graduated.

Nearly 700 candidates have completed postgraduate studies in civil engineering, which have been held continuously since l963. The first dissertation was defended as early as 1922, since when more than 200 candidates have acquired their doctoral degrees (Ph.D.).
