As part of the Winter School “Show and Tell”, the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) program at the International University of Sarajevo (IUS) welcomed high school students to campus on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. The visit offered participants a valuable opportunity to experience university life and gain direct insight into the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
The Winter School was officially opened by the Vice-Rector for Academic Activities and Students’ Affairs, together with a professor from the Electrical and Electronics Engineering study program. In their opening addresses, they emphasized the importance of Electrical Engineering in today’s technology-driven world, its wide range of career opportunities, and the distinctive advantages of studying this discipline at IUS, including a strong academic foundation, modern laboratories, and a supportive learning environment.
Following the opening session, the EEE Program Coordinator presented the Electrical and Electronics Engineering program in detail, introducing the curriculum structure, learning outcomes, and numerous academic and professional opportunities available to students throughout their studies.
An important part of the event was the contribution of senior EEE students, who shared their personal experiences of studying at IUS. They spoke about working on practical projects, participating in internships, taking part in Erasmus+ exchange programs, and balancing academic life with extracurricular activities. The session was highly interactive, as students openly discussed topics of interest and answered questions raised by the visiting high school students, providing an authentic student perspective.
After the official presentations, the Winter School continued with a hands-on practical session held in the Matrakci Laboratory. With the support of progam assistants, participants conducted Arduino-based experiments, engaging directly with real engineering tasks. Students showed great enthusiasm while building, testing, and observing real-life applications of their work, making the experience both educational and enjoyable.
The interactive laboratory environment encouraged curiosity, creativity, and active learning, allowing participants to better understand the practical nature of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
We wish all participating students a successful and bright future, and we sincerely hope to welcome them again soon as students of the IUS Electrical and Electronics Engineering program.
