FERI, or in other words, the Faculty of engineering and computer sciences,
is part of the University in Maribor and is located in Slovenia's 2nd largest city,
Maribor.
It is alma mater to hundreds of students and offers a variety of different study programs -
for example Electrical engineering, Computer and information sciences,
Information sciences and communication technolgies, Telecomunications, Mechatronics,
and last, but not least, Media communications.
We, students of media communication, are a bunch of people with varied interests.
The faculty offers us an asortment of different fields of knowledge,
that we can decide to deepen and research, according to our personal interests.
In the second year of our masters degree studies,
we have an optional class titled Human-Computer interaction.
Here we learned about ergonomics of software,
aplications for gathering information
and the tools of designing a user-friendly interface,
as well as attempting to develop personas
and trying our hands at prototyping,
which included rapid prototyping,
paper prototyping,
and developing functions for diferent systems.
Some of us decide to learn more about media production,
which includes knowledge about cameras, video editing,
journalism, media apearences, rethorical speaking, public relations,
and so on.
While others decide to dabble more into visual communications.
For example photography, 3D modeling and animation,
web and graphic design, and many other fealds.
Media communications is a diverse study program,
that gives students the opportunity to explore different fields
and develope their potencial both in theory and practice.
