Abstract. DYNET Project has greatly contributed to the development of high engineering education at the University of Niš, since year 2000. This project has been financed by the German DAAD program, in the framework of the South East Europe Stability Pact, and the goal of the project is primarily development of high education in the region, and education of young engineers. The project began at the Ruhr University of Bochum (RUB) in cooperation with the Universities of Niš (UN), Skopje and Sarajevo, and later expanded to other universities. The basis of cooperation is a very successful long term cooperation of two universities of RUB and UN, that dates back to 1975 and which has been managed by professor Guenther Schmid of the University of Bochum.
A reform of the Curriculum was initiated at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture of Niš in 2000 and it has been officially underway for three years. The programs have been organized along the principles of the Bologna process. The studies are divided into three levels: Bachelor Studies, Master Studies, and Doctoral Studies.
The programs of the studies comprise study fields such as bridges, tunnels, hydraulic engineering, road and rail networks or residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
The paper promotes the benefits of the participation of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Niš in the DYNET project, as well as the analysis and challenges which were present in the process of engineering education.

PROJEKAT DYNET-DAAD PARNER U RAZVOJU NASTAVE GRAĐEVINSKE STRUKE NA UNIVERZITETU U NIŠU
Dynet projekt je u velikoj meri doprineo razvoju visokog inženjerskog obrazovanja na Univerzitetu u Nišu od 2000.g. Ovaj projekat je finansiran od strane nemačkog DAAD programa u okviru Pakta za stabilnost jugoistočne Evrope, i primarni cilj ovog projekta je razvoj visokog obrazovanja mladih inženjera u regionu. Projekat je započet na Rur Univerzitetu u Bohumu (RUB) a u saradnji sa univerzitetima u Nišu, Skoplju i Sarajevu, a kasnije se proširio i na ostale univerzitete. Osnova saradnje je veoma uspešna dugoročna saradnja između dva univerziteta RUB i Univerziteta u Nišu, koja je počela davne 1975.g. i čiji je inicijator bio profesor Guenther Schmid sa Univerziteta u Bohumu.
Reforma nastave je započela 2000.g. na Građevinsko-arhitektonskom fakultetu u Nišu, a zvanično se primenjuje tri godine. Program je organizovan po principima bolonjskog procesa. Studije su podeljene na tri nivoa, Bečelor, Master i Doktorske studije.
Program studija objedinjuje oblasti kao sto su mostovi, tuneli, hidroinženjering, putevi i železnice, stambene, javne i industrijske zgrade.
Rad ističe prednosti učešća Građevinsko-arhitektonskog fakulteta u Nišu u DYNET projektu, a takođe i analizu i izazove koji su bili prisutni u procesu edukacije.
