History
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Split was established in 1960 as a fully autonomous and independent organization within the University of Zagreb.
It was first located within the Bishop’s Palace. In 1971 the Faculty renamed itself as the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture in Split (FESB).
The current, new building had its first construction phase finished in 1980, with the second phase of the large project completed in 2007. In 2005, FESB introduced a new credit transfer system called ECTS (European Credit Transfer System).
