The FAME is a site devoted to the systematic and scientific study of flags and coats of arms. Such symbols often bear strong political and other messages. Inclusion of those symbols here does not mean that the author supports or approves of the ideas they may stand for.	This site is harvested for the NSK digital archives.

The University of Zagreb was formed in 1669 when the Emperor Leopold I granted the university status to the Jesuit academy in Zagreb (Neoacademia Zagrabiensis), thus being the oldest in Croatia with uniterupted activity. After the Jesuit disbandment, the Empress Maria Theresia established on its roots the Royal Academy of Science (Regia scientiarum academia), becoming in 1874 the University of Zagreb. It is composed today of 29 individual faculties, 3 academies and a number of other organizations.
All the University units, beside their own symbols if they have them, also use the University emblem and flag.

The Faculty has roots in the 1919 established Royal Technical College (Visoka tehnička škola) as independent institution from the Univeristy, becoming part of it in 1926 as the Technical Faculty.
