Rebus Approach of Entrepreneurship Learning

In the Western Balkan countries young generations prefer “safe” employment at public enterprises. Student\u27s awareness and appreciation of own entrepreneurship potentials are low and because of that they mostly don\u27t start their own business. It is obvious that there is a need to promote learning about entrepreneurship at the HEIs and need to strengthen capacities of university lecturers to deal with entrepreneurship topics. The Erasmus REBUS project is established with aims to promote entrepreneurship competences of graduates of engineering studies from the Western Balkan countries and Russia, through development, test, validation and mainstreaming of holistic and needs driven open learning modules. The project enabled strong support to address a challenge of bringing entrepreneurship into HEIs and establishing the interface between higher education and practical business context based on cooperation network of EU and Western Balkan countries. The paper is focused on Rebus approach of entrepreneurship learning in Western Balkan countries. REBUS project promote development of various entrepreneurship training modules and their integration into existing or new curricula at the HEIs, creation and adoption of entrepreneurship competence validation system, implementation and evaluation of the training modules and competence validation system. There will be also shown how Rebus project is implemented at the University of Montenegro, with focus at the process of learning about entrepreneurship, process of definition and realization of students’ project and validation of their knowledge.

The State of Entrepreneurship and Innovativeness in Montenegro

European business sector pays an ever more increasing attention to competences such as sense of initiative and entrepreneurship but Western Balkan countries as transition countries from state regulated towards market economy, have a high level of resistance to private initiatives and entrepreneurship. The Erasmus REBUS project aims at developing, testing, validating and mainstreaming holistic and needs driven open learning modules to promote entrepreneurship competences of ICT and engineering graduates at the interface of academic education and learning in practical business contexts. University of Montenegro as partner on the Rebus project is involved in research about current situation of entrepreneurship and innovativeness in Montenegro. Accordingly, we performed research which consists three parts: Online questionnaires, Desk research and Interview. Target groups for the research are: students, HEI, enterprises, administration, Chamber of Commerce… In this paper are presented results of that research with special focus on results obtained in online questionnaires.

Algoritam za primenu 3D štampe u projektovanju ili modifikaciji proizvoda

U radu prikazan je algoritam koji omogućava primenu 3D štampe u projektovanju ili modifikaciji proizvoda. Aditivna proizvodnja , ili tehnologija 3D štampe, podrazumeva izradu proizvoda složene geometrije u relativno malim količinama. 3D štampa omogućuje realizaciju modela prema digitalnom prikazu, a njena primena je ogromna u različitim proizvodnim granama. Glavne prednosti 3D štampe su: ušteda energije, smanjenje otpada, smanjenje upotrebe većeg broja alata, kao i optimizacija dizajna. Tehnologija 3D štampe radi na principu dodavanja materijala u slojevima. Model se formira od slojeva rastopljenog materijala koji se odmah hladi i očvršćava. Polazni materijal za izradu modela je polilaktična kiselina (PLA). Na mehaničke karakteristike realizovanog modela od PLA utiču različite promenljive kao što su: prečnik brizgaljke, debljina definisanog sloja, procentualna vrednost ispune,geometrija ispune, veličina uzorka, brzina punjenja i temperatura proizvodnje. Cilj ovog rada je da se prikaže algoritam kao deo procedure i aktivnosti kontrole pri realizaciji različitih modela. Time se projektantu daje mogućnost da realizuje nov proizvod, ispravi greške na postojećem proizvodu i na kraju modifikuje proizvod prema zahterima krajnjih korisnika

Analysis of Development of Innovation and Competitiveness in Montenegro

This paper presents some of the results obtained during many years of work on the scientific - research projects in the field of innovation and improvement of organizational performance with aim to find an answer about Capacity for innovation of Montenegrin organizations. The paper is based on the unique data-base which reflects the real conditions of the Montenegrin organizations. In the paper is also analyzed report prepared by World Economic Forum (WEF) for 2014-2015 years about Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) for Montenegro. In accordance with that report and analysis of survey performed in Montenegrin organizations carried out by interview method, authors of the paper tried to give an answer about Capacity for innovation in Montenegro. Based on that analysis we found that Montenegrin organizations are focused on innovation but there still have a lot of spaces for improving in order to achieve higher level of Global Competitiveness Index.

Synthesis and Characterization of Dispersion Reinforced Sintered System Based on Ultra Fine and Nanocomposite Cu-Al2O3 Powders

Characterization of the obtained powder indicates a possibility of the synthesis of nanocomposite Cu-Al2O3 system by the thermochemical procedure, starting from water solutions Cu(NO3)2 and Al(NO3)3. AEM analysis indicates the presence of individual particles of 20-50 nm size. The shape of particles is irregular, with the presence of individual particles of nodular shape. The surface morphology is rough. Apart from that, the presence of an agglomerate with the magnitude of >100nm and of a sponge shape is noticeable. The obtained nanocomposite powders, with the structure basically preserved together with the final product, provided a significant reinforcement effect in the obtained sintered system. This is a consequence of the homogenous distribution of the elements in the structure, accomplished during the synthesis of powder and presence of the third phase which causes stabilization of dislocation substructure and achieves the relevant reinforcing effect. The analysis of the mechanical and electric properties of the sintered Cu-Al2O3 systems based on powders obtained by the thermochemical method shows that in the system with 3wt.%Al2O3, sintered at 900ºC, structural stabilisation occurs only after 30 minutes with considerable reinforcement effects. Since in other systems, the structural stabilisation process was not completed even after 120 minutes, the system with 3wt.% of dispersoids sintered at 900ºC for 30 minutes seems to be the optimum solution for the production of dispersively reinforced Cu-Al2O3 systems. This statement is confirmed by the corresponding analysis of the microstructure. In accordance with the previous statements, the EDS analysis of the sintered systems surface as well as FIB analysis show a homogenous distribution of elements, i.e. present phases. FIB analysis also indicates the size of microstructural constituents within the range of 50-250nm. TEM analysis of the sintered systems reveals the presence of copper crystals of 100 nm in size exposed to twinning, thus pointing to stabilization of the dislocation substructure. SADP of the examined nanocomposite Cu–Al2O3 sintered system shows spots and rings, where spots refer to the individual crystals of copper, and sharp circles (rings) originate from nanocrystals of alumina dispersed in the copper matrix. HRTEM analysis indicates the changes in the lattice parameter, which leads to the conclusion that the eutectic reaction occurred and the third, CuxAlyOz phase was formed on the grain boundary, which will be the subject of future studies based on a more precise approach to physical chemistry of system surfaces and of thermodynamic examinations of the influences of finely dispersed Al2O3 on the formation of the third phase and the increase in the system surface energy. In the end, all the above-mentioned examinations show that the reinforcement of Cu-Al2O3 system occurs via two mechanisms, which are: dispersion and reinforcement mechanism due to the homogenous dispersion of fine particles of Al2O3 in the matrix, and the mechanism of grain boundary reinforcement due to the appearance of the third phase
