The faculty has played a significant role in the education of students in Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond, as well as in the founding of other higher education and scientific institutions in Tuzla, which eventually led to the establishment of the University of Tuzla. The Faculty of Technology in Tuzla was the first higher education institution in Bosnia and Herzegovina to initiate postgraduate studies in 1963. The first two master's theses were defended in 1965, and the first doctoral dissertation was defended in 1962.Today, the Faculty has a total area of 7,878 square meters, comprising modernly equipped amphitheaters, classrooms, laboratories, a library, and faculty offices. Long-standing practice and constant collaboration with the industry have led to the development of curricula that provide the opportunity for training and educating engineers who have sufficiently broad knowledge to quickly adapt to the demands of the industry.
