The Faculty of Technical Sciences (abbr. FTN; Serbian: Факултет техничких наука Универзитета у Новом Саду / Fakultet tehničkih nauka Univerziteta u Novom Sadu) is a higher education institution located in Novi Sad, an independent part of the University of Novi Sad. It was founded in 1960 and today, with about 1200 employees and almost 14,000 students, is one of the largest faculties in the region. Until now, 90 study programs for academic and professional studies have been accredited.
The Faculty of Technical Sciences was founded on May 18, 1960 by decision of the Serbian Parliament as Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Novi Sad as part of University of Belgrade. With Novi Sad's charter as a University on June 28, 1960, the faculty became an integral part of it.
The Faculty began its work with seven teachers and ten assistants in the modified Technical School. The first dean of the newly opened faculty was Evgenije Čupić, and the first Chief of FTN council was Marko Bačlija.
All the studies were at two levels and lasted four years. Lectures followed the educational plan of the University of Belgrade Faculty of Mechanical Engineering.
In 1962 the faculty acquired the Pedagogical Center building, where higher courses of studies were held. For a time, the Pedagogical Center belonged to the Faculty of Law; later it was returned to the Faculty of Technical Sciences. Today it is known as the "F" Block. An additional 890 m2 of laboratory and cabinet space was built for the Department for Power, Electronics and Communication Engineering.
The year following the Institute of Mechanical Engineering's completion in 1965, the faculty adopted a new plan of studies, raising the course length to five years.
The building of the teaching block and Rectorate building were completed in 1968. In 1971, the faculty introduced courses in Electrical, Electronics, Civil Engineering, Telecommunications, Signal Processing, Instrumentation, Automation and Computer Science as sections of existing faculties in Belgrade.
