Abstract	One of the basic needs of contemporary engineering students is to, evoke their individual ability for creative and critical thinking in science, professional or research and development (R&D) field. This ability descends from an individual's level of information competency that, as the basis of lifelong learning, poses several distinctions compared to the level of one's skills in the fields of electrical engineering, computing and information and communication technology (ICT). Previous researches show that the quality of those skills in the students' practices is markedly high, but the lack of information competencies is still notable. The aim of this paper is to present the results of the information behavior and information competencies survey conducted among students of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) at all undergraduate and graduate levels. The results of the study will be processed to determine the skill level of information competencies and behavior of engineering students. The outcome will be beneficial in the planning process for information providing strategies in academic libraries in the electrical engineering, computing, information, and communication technology (ICT) fields.
