Abstract. This paper deals with Serbian higher education, especially in engineering, and with modern tendencies in the globalization of European engineering education based on Bologna Declaration.
The main goal of this paper is to explain the existing system of engineering education in the Republic of Serbia: Scientific Universities with different Technical Faculties and Higher vocational technical schools. History of engineering education in the Republic of Serbia from the first Engineering Schools in 1846, then the Technical Faculty of Great School in 1863 and finally the University in 1905 will be presented as well as a comparative analysis of other relevant Universities (Technical) in Europe. Special focus will be done on the present state of affairs in the above-mentioned education with concrete measures for improvement of engineering education according to the actual European tendency.
At the same time a necessity and a need for rapid, rational and efficient reforms and restructuring of Serbian higher education, especially in organizational, financial and educational domain, will be discussed.

TEHNIČKO OBRAZOVANJE U SRBIJI
IDENTIFIKACIJA PROBLEMA I PREDLOZI ZA NJIHOVO REŠAVANJE
Ovaj rad se bavi visokim školstvom u Srbiji, posebno u inženjerstvu, i modernim tendencijama globalizacije evropskog inženjerskog obrazovanja na osnovu Bolonjske deklaracije.
Glavni cilj ovog rada je objašnjavanje postojećeg sistema inženjerskog obrazovanja u Republici Srbiji – Istraživački Univerzitet sa različitim Tehničkim fakultetima i Višim tehničkim školama. Istorija inženjerskog obrazovanja u Republici Srbiji od prve Inženjerske škole 1846, a onda i Tehničkog Fakulteta Velike škole 1863. i konačno Univerziteta 1905. će biti prezentovana uz uporednu analizu sa drugim univerzitetima (tehničkim) u Evropi. Naročita pažnja biće poklonjena sadašnjoj situaciji u gorepomenutom obrazovanju i konkretnim merama za unapređenje i poboljšanje inženjerskog obrazovanja u skladu sa tekućim evropskim tendencijama.
U isto vreme, biće diskutovano o nužnosti brzih, racionalnih i efikasnih reformi i prestrukuiranja u viskom školstvu Srbije, pogotovo u organizacijskom, finansijskom i obrazovnom domenu.
