Xpanding Horizonswith industry
Tehnička škola Ruđera Boškovića (Ruđer Bošković Technical School) was founded in 1948 under the name Optical School. It soon expanded the area of education it covers on precision engineering.
After moving to a new building at its current location, the school began to be named after Ruđer Bošković. In 1962, the School expanded its scope of activities to the field ofelectronics, and later computing.
After several formal changes of names and theintroduction of new programmes, in 1996 the school, as the first educational institution in Croatia, started with theeducation of technicians for mechatronics.

School and Economy
School
The number of occupations and students increased.But then there was a collapse of the economy and this connection was almost completely lost. This is only one reason behind the outdatedness of equipment in our laboratories, workshop terminations and reductions in the number hours of practical training.
School and Economy
The weakening of links with the economy caused a
shutdown of the school’s education for three-year
occupations.
On our own initiative, the school, without any input from
the industry, moved into new areas, first more strongly
into IT, and later into mechatronics (1996).
This proved to be a wise decision.
But we faced a lack of equipment and knowledge in new
technologies.
In 2003, the Government approved a projectthat equipped the School and a Center for newtechnologies was founded.
At the time, great support came from the company Elektro-Kontakt.
