INTRODUCTION
The syllabus of bachelor’s professional studies “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering”
was adopted at the meeting of the RTU Senate on January 25, 1999 and with the decision No.
1041 (Professional Syllabus) of the Accreditation Commission of the Ministry of Education and
Science, Republic of Latvia, on June 21, 2006, and it was accredited for 2 years (till December
31, 2008).
The training is organised in compliance with the Standard of the profession
(Appendix 5). The graduates of the syllabus obtain the qualification of an engineer and a
bachelor’s professional degree in heat power and thermal engineering.
The structural unit implementing the syllabus is the Department of Heat and Power
Engineering Systems (formed on the basis of the professor’s team of Thermal Engineering
Systems in February, 2008; Decision of the RTU Senate on December 19, 2007, Protocol of the
meeting of the Senate No 517).
The Department of Heat and Power Engineering Systems (RES) of the Faculty of
Transport and Mechanical Engineering (FTM) is practically the only structural unit within the
RTU which implements a syllabus of such specialisation. The Department is situated at 6
Ezermalas Street, Riga.
Other RTU structural units also participate in the implementation of the syllabus:

Machine Building Technology (IMBT), Institute of Production Quality (IPQ), Research
Laboratory of Heat and Burning Processes (RLHBP).

1. The aims and tasks of the syllabus


1.1. The aim of the syllabus

The principal aim of the bachelor’s professional studies “Heat Power and Thermal
Engineering” is to ensure acquisition of the fundamental and theoretical basis of the branch, as
well as special professional knowledge and skills by the specialists who have obtained second-
level higher education. The graduates of the syllabus must be competitive in the today’s labour
market which is developing in Latvia and orienting its national economy towards the highest
level of the development of the present economics – the international or global system of
economy. Its characteristic features are dictated by the market, primary processing at the sites
of energy production and the sources of raw materials or the places where they are supplied,
creation and connection of joint regional and global transmission lines, economic management
in special economic zones, formation of the regional and global markets, implementation of
joint economic management, safety and environment-friendly systems in every sphere of
economy, orientation towards the formation of a highly educated, knowledgeable and
proficient, constantly developing society.
As a result of bachelor’s professional studies the students obtain a bachelor’s
professional degree and the qualification of an engineer in heat power and thermal engineering.

1.2. The tasks of the syllabus

In order to carry out the advanced aim, the principal tasks of the syllabus for training
high-class specialists in the spheres of heat power and thermal engineering are:
- To consider the wish of the population of Latvia to acquire such an education in the
field of engineering sciences which would meet the European and global
requirements.
- To embrace the main fields of activity in the process of studies, including: the
traditional and other types of training, the research work, high-quality field practice.
- To apply in the process of studies the common methods of teaching (lectures,
practical and laboratory works, seminars, etc.), as well as modernised methods (the
modern information equipment and technologies, the situation analysis, the work in
a group in the computing room, e-studies and distant learning, etc.).
- To apply the modern quality management methods of studies paying great attention
to the exposition of innovative ideas (training, studying, knowledge, experience,
science, technical equipment, technology, production).
- To offer the students a possibility to choose their studies to be financed from the
state budget or (in the case of great competition) from one’s own finances.
- To prepare specialists in the fields of engineering sciences which are very necessary
for society, starting from the habits of practical work to the scientific and theoretical
research.
- In order to satisfy the main interest groups (society, students, teaching staff, the
customers, etc.), to pay great attention to the quality management of studies, the
work of the RTU information and propaganda (at secondary educational
establishments, as well as in the spheres of designing, production, processing,
service, etc.).
- To satisfy the growing demand for specialists in the fields of power engineering,
production, energy transmission, distribution and use, to ensure the alternation of
generations of the respective specialists.

2. Organisation and development of the syllabus

Syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” is given in Appendix 1.

2.1. Alterations in the syllabus during the accounting period 2007/08 with a
motivation

Several alterations have been prepared during the accounting period and made in 2008
in the accredited bachelor’s professional syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” with
an aim to optimise the learning process. Five subjects have been excluded from the syllabus,
three projects of studies and one new subject introduced. The number of CP has been increased
for two subjects and two sections. Alterations were introduced on the basis of the decision made
at the meeting of the RTU Senate on October 29, 2007, Protocol No 517.
The more essential alterations in the syllabus since the previous accreditation are:

d/ The volumes of CP were changed for the subjects in Section A.3: Hydro and gas dynamics –
from 3 CP to 4 CP; Thermotechnical measurements and foundations of automation – from 2 CP
to 4 CP; Software for thermotechnical calculations – from 3 CP to 2 CP;
e/ The volumes were changed for the sections of compulsory subjects of studies: Section A.2. –
from 36 CP to 37 CP;
Section A.3. – from 46 CP to 45 CP.
Alterations were prepared and introduced by the suggestions and recommendations of
employers, students, teachers taking into account the binding documents of the Ministry of
Education and Science, the RTU Senate and Council of the Faculty of Transport and
Mechanical Engineering.

2.2. Alterations in the practical implementation of the syllabus

The structural unit implementing the syllabus is the Department of Heat and Power
Engineering Systems which is situated at 6 Ezermalas Street, Riga with an area of 633 m2
designed for training of the students. Besides the common lecture rooms, the area comprise
specialised lecture rooms, training and research laboratories. Nowadays the department is in
search of financing to refurbish and to rebuilt premises on the 5th floor with common area of
150 m2 which were not in use since the faculty has moved into the building in Ezermalas street
6.The Department of Heat and Power Engineering Systems has in its possession laboratory
equipment, computer technology, codoscopes, copiers, videoprojectors and other equipment for
the organisation of a qualitative process of studies. A description of some equipment and
technical teaching aids is given in Appendix 6.
The principal alterations in the implementation of the material and technical basis of the
syllabus:

1. A new lecture room has been opened and equipped (6 Ezermalas Street, Room 202, 52
m2) having Internet connection sites at least for 16 computers. During the accounting
period repairs were made by one’s own efforts at 6 Ezermalas Street, in Room 206 with
an area of 94 m2.
2. The basis of the hardware and software was updated and improved, finances were sought
and ordered, as a result of it at least 24 computerised work places with an Internet
connection were provided at the end of the academic year (including the computers of the
staff and free access for the students’ independent work).
3. An interactive board SAHARA 72 was purchased and installed with the MIMIO and
LYNX 3 software, which operates in the mode with an Internet connection and a
possibility to save the materials of lectures and practical work on the information carriers
of computers.
4. Technical literature was acquired in the English language for the main subjects of studies
of the syllabus (numerical calculus methods of heat exchange, energy efficiency,
thermotechnical measurements, foundations of automation, planning of experiments,
theory of burning, industrial furnaces, thermal insulating equipment, etc.) A list of the
educational and technical literature which is available in the Latvian, English and Russian
languages existing at the department and the leading libraries of Latvia is given in
paragraph 8.2.
5. 15 educational methodological aids and conspectuses of lectures were prepared within
the framework of the project financed by the ESF, which are accessible to the students
both in an electronic and printed form.

4 The evaluation system

The amount of the contents to be included into testing corresponds to the contents of the
programmes of the courses and meets the demands for the skills and knowledge set by the
standard of professions (Appendix 5).
The basic forms of evaluation how the syllabus is acquired are an examination and a
credit test. The minimal amount of the course of studies in order to organise an examination is 3
credit points.
The level to which the syllabus is acquired by the student is determined using a 10-
grade scale generally adopted in the education system of Latvia, the minimal positive grade
being 4: a very high level of the acquired knowledge (10 - "with distinction", 9 - "excellent"); a
high level of the acquired knowledge (8 - "very good ", 7 - "good"); a medium level (6 -
"almost good ", 5 - "satisfactory", 4 - "almost satisfactory "); a low level of the acquired
knowledge (3 - "bad", 2 - "very bad ", 1 - "very very bad ").
In the credit test the acquisition of the syllabus is evaluated by a 2-part scale ("passed"
or "failed").
A practice is evaluated by the 10-grade scale, like an examination.
The student receives credit points for each acquired course of studies and practice if the
evaluation is “passed” or, in the 10-grade scale, it is not lower than 4 - "almost satisfactory".
When the syllabus is acquired completely, the student defends a bachelor’s diploma
project and obtains a bachelor’s professional degree and the qualification of an engineer (a
specimen of the diploma awarded and an excerpt of grades are given in Appendix 4).

5 Practical implementation of the syllabus – methods and forms


5.1. Methods and forms of studies

Lectures. Traditional methods of teaching (lectures, practical and laboratory classes,


seminars, etc.) are applied in the process of studies, as well as more progressive methods (up-
to-date information equipment and technologies – the Internet, visual materials, selective
copying and scanning of the educational materials, an interactive board with possibilities to use
various training programmes, E-studio and the methods of distant learning). A trend is
increasing to apply the modern quality management methods in the studies paying great
attention to the exposition of innovative ideas (training, studying, knowledge, experience,
science, machinery, technology, production).
Seminars and practical classes. In order to acquire deeper individual theoretical
questions, seminars and practical classes are organised. This takes place in agreement with the
syllabus and the curriculum by the groups. The practical aspects of lectures are analysed at the
seminar classes, the most significant methodologies are mastered (Excel, AutoCAD, MathCAD,
the Internet), the students train in the development of methods, making descriptions,
suggestions and presentations. An important role is attached to the improvement of the team-
work habits. Excursions are organised within the framework of the learning process to various
enterprises of the branch. Visiting lecturers, for instance, from Daugavpils University, Rēzekne
Higher School, are invited to read on special topics.
The students' research papers, their attachment to the scientific work. Elaboration
of the students’ research papers is based on wide application of the computer services in the
analysis and calculations, preparation of the text and graphic documents. Acquisition of the
habits on how to work a computer is promoted. The students’ research work basically embraces

1
practical application of the theoretical knowledge in order to consolidate and comprehend
deeper the subject of studies.
Practically all the higher school teachers attract students to the scientific work. For
example, in the accounting period 5 students (D. Gorlovičs, E. Šaicāns, D.Tišinovs, J.
Šahanjans, J.GudeĦs) were engaged only in project R7237 “Metodikas izstrāde gāzes plūsmas
pētīšanai ar eksperimentālām un skaitliskām metodēm / An Elaboration of Methodology for Gas
Flow Investigation by Experimental and Numerical Methods“ for the IZM-RTU.
In the spring of 2008, after a competition, financing was received for the IZM-RTU
project No R7334 “Gāzes degšanas procesu un temperatūras lauku pētīšana darba režīmos ar
lielām gaisa pārpilnības koeficienta vērtībām / Investigation of gas fuel combustion processes
and temperature distribution in the regimes with high values of ambient air consumption”, 6
students of the bachelor’s syllabus were enlisted for the execution of the project.
The bachelor’s work (with an engineering project). In agreement with the syllabi of
professional studies confirmed at the RTU and the state standard of the 2nd level higher
professional education, the students who have completed the syllabus should work out and
defend s bachelor’s work which, according to the syllabus, is evaluated with 12 credit points.
The work should be completed and drawn up in agreement with the RTU regulations
“Instruction for the design of the final work of studies.” The bachelor’s works are reviewed;
they are accepted and evaluated by the State Examination Commission established at the order
of the Rector of the RTU.

5.2. Organisation of practices

In compliance with the syllabi confirmed at the RTU the students of the bachelor’s
professional syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” have practices in the amount of 26
CP. The full practice, according to the syllabus, is divided into: 18 credit points in the 7th
semester (half-year of studies) and 8 CP in the 8th semester.
The principles of the organisation of practices in the professional syllabi of the RTU are
fixed by Order No 61 of the RTU pro-rector for studies of May 24, 2002, according to which:
1) the organisation and control of the practice is effected by the practice leader from a
RTU structural unit. The practice leader is confirmed by the order of the leader of the
structural unit;
2) a bilateral contract is concluded at the place of the practice which reflects the
obligations and responsibility of the parties.
3) the practice is implemented according to practice syllabus, which is worked out by the
department following the recommendations of the syllabus commission of the branch;
4) the students are given a practice appointment and individual tasks.
5) At the end of the practice the future baccalaureates present and defend an account of the
practice. The account is accepted and assessed with a differentiated grade by the
commission appointed by the head of the department, about which a protocol is drawn
up.
The students’ practices proceed in cooperation with the State Joint-Stock Company
“Latvenergo”, Joint-Stock Company “Rīgas Siltums”, Joint-Stock Company “Latvijas Gāze”,
the branches of Riga DHP: DHP – 1 and DHP - 2, SIA “Viessmann”, the Latvian National
Centre of Metrology, SIA”GREIN”. Contracts have been prepared with the Joint-Stock
Company “Liepājas Metalurgs”, SIA “Bek-konsult”, several heat supply enterprises of Latvian
towns and other organisations.
The Department of Heat and Power Engineering Systems (RES) keeps in touch with the
graduates of the previous years who, in the case of necessity, help find the sites of practice at
larger enterprises of Latvia. The students from the day department may undergo their practice
in the summer period, substituting the staff of the enterprise during their vacations, agreeing

1
with the management of the RES and including it into their individual plan of studies. If the
economic situation changes, the distribution of the practice may vary. The materials and
knowledge obtained during the practice are used in the bachelor’s works.
In 2008, during the accounting period, the RTU rector’s office organised an audit about
the students’ practices whose recommendations and remarks mentioned in the conclusion were
partly eliminated already in the spring session (the term – October 30, 2008).
The documentation about the cooperation with the site of the practice and the employers, as
well as the materials of the practice is situated in the office of the Department of Heat and
Power Engineering Systems at 6 Ezermalas Street, Riga.

6. Perspective assessment of the syllabus considering the common strategy


of Latvia and the EU
6.1. Conformity of the syllabus with the standard of national academic
and professional education

The recommendations of the European Council mark the principal strategy of higher
education - transition to the new system of quality assurance and assessment, characterised by
the introduction of an efficient management system in higher schools, harmonisation and
diversification of syllabi, creation of independent competent certification/accreditation, and
deregulation of the higher school management.
The new approach means transition to an efficient, constantly improving management
system of higher education in which there is carefully elaborated and coordinated the
responsibilities and rights of the state institutions, professional and legal organisations, higher
school management, the academic staff and the students.
The bachelor’s professional syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” is constantly
improved and perfected in correspondence with the recommendations and standards of Latvia and the
EU. It has been worked out in agreement with the state standard of professional higher education
(Regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers No 481 “Regulations on the standard of the 2nd level
professional higher education”, which came into force since November 28, 2001).
The syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” can be regarded as a very
perspective one, because of the increasing prices and demand for energy sources. The inquiries
of various-level enterprises (big, medium and small) witness, that the demand for the specialists
of such a profile is growing from year to year, for example, after the inquiries of the department
Latvia needs up to 100 specialists in computer design.
The syllabus completely compiled regarding the standard of professional higher
education and the standard of the profession.

6.2. Employers’ inquiries about the employment of the graduates

The Department of Heat and Power Engineering Systems has contracts on cooperation
or protocols of intent in relation to the syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” with
several leading enterprises of the branch: the State Joint-Stock Company “Latvenergo”, Joint-
Stock Company “Rīgas Siltums”, SIA “Viessmann” and many other.
There is lasting and stable cooperation with some other production enterprises, scientific
research and educational establishments. Although the prognoses about the graduates’
employment for a longer period of time (6 years and more) are approximate, it is more than
clear that, due to the rapid rise in the prices of fuel and the need to raise the energy efficiency of
all the thermoenergetic systems, several hundred specialists in heat engineering will be
necessary in the nearest period of time.
As a positive trend, from the viewpoint of the students and graduates, should be
mentioned the fact that the specialists of the syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” are

1
in increasing demand at the small and medium-size enterprises with a very limited number of
workers, not to mention the “big” energetic, industrial and construction enterprises. This is
connected, to a great extent, with the introduction of alternative and energy efficient
technologies in every sort of branches – production, service and domestic life. Most of the
surveyed employers support the aspirations of their workers to acquire higher education, they
are obliging and ensure a convenient schedule for training.

7. The students
7.1. The number of students in the syllabus

The total number of students on September 1, 2007 (the 1st to the 4th years of studies) –
53 students.
During the spring semester of the academic tear 2007/2008 the number of students with
the branches (the 1st to the 4th years of studies) – 57. A list of the students in the spring

7.4. The students’ inquiries and their analysis

The students’ inquiries are carried out periodically; they embrace practically all the
students of the syllabus. A example of the questionnaire (26 questions) and the summary of the
inquiry of the students acquiring the syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering”, made by
the RTU Department of Studies, was made. Together with the structural units the RTU
Students’ Parliament (SP), as well as the Information Technology Service, carry out the
inquiries of the students, too, suggesting corrections in the process of studies and the
improvement of the students’ living conditions.
The analysis of the inquiries allows finding and averting the weak points in the training
process.
The main replies obtained during the students’ inquiry by the Department of Heat and
Power Engineering Systems in the spring semester of the academic year 2008 (12
questionnaires, 26 questions) are summed up in Table 5:

Table 5
No Question Yes Partly No
1. The process of studies is closely connected with the solution of 3 8 1
practical problems.
2. The students are oriented at the work under the conditions of market 3 7 2
economy.
3. It is allowed to express one’s point of view and make suggestions how 7 3 2
to improve the process of studies.
4. Are satisfied with the syllabus? 7 4 1
5. If there were a chance to change the educational establishments or 0 3 9
programmes, would you take the opportunity?

Individual discourses often take place with the students. The analysis of the results of
questionnaires shows that the quality of studies, on the whole, is evaluated as positive. There
are various suggestions and hints to shortcomings (information about the foreign contacts,
accessibility of the conspectus of lectures and text books, various items of social and everyday
character, etc.). Most of the respondents are satisfied with the choice of their speciality and
syllabus and give a negative reply to the question about changing specialities.
The questionnaire includes also a question about the relations between the students and
the lecturers. The students characterize them as businesslike.

7.5. The graduates’ inquiries and their analysis

The graduates’ inquiries are conducted in the form of individual discourse. All the
inquired graduates of the syllabus of the year 2008 confirmed their intention to submit
documents into the department of master’s studies in order to study the syllabus “Heat Power
and Thermal Engineering”, which testifies about a high evaluation of the bachelor’s
professional studies. In 2007 five (62.5%) of the eight graduates of the bachelor’s syllabus
started their master’s studies. In 2008 - all 6 students who completed bachelor/engineer studies
and one bachelor of environmental science went on to their master’s studies.
Constant contacts are maintained with the graduates of the previous years both in the
sphere of professional activities and in relation to further studies in the master’s department and
their potential attachment to the pedagogical and research work (the graduates of the year 2008
A.Soročins, A.Rubis, J.Šahanjancs, E.Vilcāns).

7.6. The students’ participation in the improvement of the process of


studies

The students are actively attracted to take part in the improvement of the process of
studies (arrangement of the training laboratories and lecture-rooms, are received
recommendations for the acquisition of the latest technical means, scientific apparatus,
technical literature, software), as well as in the scientific research work (see Section 5.1).
Besides the participation in the projects financed by various funds and organisations (the
Latvian Council of Science, the Ministry of Education - Riga Technical University, etc.) the
students of the syllabus carry out the scientific research work also free of charge.
The results of the independent research are summarised and analysed at the RTU
students’ annual scientific conferences. At the RTU Students’ Scientific Society (SSS) 49.
16 reports were registered for the students’ scientific conference, section “Heat Power and
Thermal Engineering”.

1
The problem here arises that most senior students have comparatively well-paid jobs
outside the RTU, and in every case the students’ motivation for an active scientific research
work could be even bigger.
The students of the syllabus often express suggestions connected with the methods of
teaching the subjects and the timetable, as well as the priority themes within the framework of
the syllabus. These suggestions are analysed and often used. For instance, in February, 2008, at
the initiative of the first-year students of the syllabus, an extraordinary training excursion was
organized to the new cogeneration plant of Riga DHP-1. About 30 students took part in it; the
guide of the excursion was Mg. ing. A. BērziĦš, a graduate of the master’s studies according to
the syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” in 2007, who works at the DHP-1.
The students of the programme take an active part also in the social and entertainment
events organized by the students’ self-government of the Faculty of Transport and Mechanical
Engineering and the RTU (the Mechs’ wars, the Mechs’ wheels, the Robotics competitions,
etc.).

10 External contacts
10.1 Cooperation with the employers

In order to implement the syllabus, the professor’s group of the heat power systems has
established close contacts with many leading enterprises of the branch. Contracts on
cooperation have been concluded with the State Joint-Stock Company “Latvenergo”, Joint-
Stock Company “Rīgas Siltums”, and others. A protocol of intent has been signed and
negotiations are continued with SIA “Viessmann” about the arrangement (sponsoring) of a
training laboratory of the heating systems.
Besides the firms already mentioned, there is long-term and close cooperation with the
traditional places of the students’ practice and work of the graduates: Joint-Stock Company
“Latvijas Gāze”, the branches of Riga DHP: DHP – 1 and DHP - 2, SIA”GREIN”, SIA
“Inspecta”, the Institute of Physical Energetics, Latvian Academy of Sciences, the Institute of
Physics, University of Latvia, etc.
More than 20 enterprises and organizations have been surveyed in reality with which
signing a contract on cooperation is not just a mere formality, but a real possibility.

10.2 Cooperation with Latvian and foreign higher schools

From the Latvian higher schools the closest cooperation is with the Latvia University of
Agriculture (there is a contract on cooperation), Daugavpils University, Rēzekne Higher
School, University of Latvia (the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics – mainly in the field of
scientific research.
A contract is concluded on cooperation and exchange of the students’ practices with
Moscow Technical University (the Moscow Energetic Institute) – the leading higher school of

2
the branch in the Russian Federation. Several people of the Department have raised their
qualifications at St. Petersburg State University of Low Temperatures and Food Technology.
Negotiations are going on with Stralsund University of Applied Science, Germany on
the exchange of students in specialisations connected with the methods of obtaining alternative
energy and hydrogen fuel cells.
The Department has regular cooperation in science and exchange of experience in the
pedagogical work with Tallinn Technical University, Kaunas Technological University, Vilnius
Technical University, Szczecin University of Technology.

10.3 Comparison of the syllabus with the syllabi of the higher schools in
other countries

Higher schools and syllabi were selected for the comparison of the RTU syllabus “Heat
Power and Thermal Engineering” with the syllabi in the other EU countries taking into account
the considerations of economic and historical development: Kaunas Technological University
(KTU), Tallinn Technical University (TTU).
Previous education: comprehensive secondary education or equated to it.
Duration of the studies: 3 or 4 years.
Syllabi: Thermal engineering, (VTU); Thermal engineering (KTU); Thermal
engineering (TTU).
The obtained degree: The bachelor’s degree in thermal engineering (VTU); the
bachelor’s degree in engineering sciences (TTU); a bachelor’s degree in energy science (KTU).
By the block distribution the closest is the bachelor’s syllabus of Kaunas Technological
University (KTU) (Thermal Engineering, 160 CP, the duration of studies 4 years). The similar
syllabus of Tallinn Technical University has been changed in 2006 to a 120 CP syllabus with a
3 years’ duration of studies. In fact, a comparison is possible only in percentage of individual
blocks of subjects (see Table 10).

In comparison with the KTU and TTU syllabi, the HPTES (RTU) syllabus has a similar
amount of subjects in the blocks of social and economic sciences, languages and the subjects of
free choice (the difference is up to 5-6%). There is a greater difference in the blocks of the
theoretical subjects of the branch and the professional specializing subjects (by the blocks of
subjects up to +/- 11 %) but the training practices are in a greater proportion in the RTU
syllabus. Each higher school has a different amount of CP for practice and the diploma work.
The HPTES (RTU) syllabus has a considerably greater amount of CP for practice and
the diploma work. In the RTU syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” emphasis is laid
on obtaining a bachelor’s professional degree and the qualification of an engineer.

11 Action in case the syllabus is abolished

In case the implementation of the syllabus of professional studies is abolished, the


students who are studying this syllabus are transferred to the academic bachelor’s syllabus
“Engineering Technology, Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering” (445221) with the
specialization in thermal engineering, which is accredited till December 31, 2013, or the
syllabus of professional engineers’ studies “Engineering Technology, Mechanics and
Mechanical Engineering” (435221), which is accredited till December 31, 2013 (a contract with
Prof. J. Vība, Head of the Institute of Mechanics).
The students who are studying the professional master’s syllabus will be transferred to
the syllabus of professional engineers or to the academic master’s syllabus “Engineering
Technology, Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering” (465221), which is accredited till
December 31, 2013.
In either case the amount and the contents is determined taking into consideration the
experts’ conclusion about the equation of the previously acquired subjects.

12 The development plan of the higher education programme

Analysis of the number of specialists trained in allied sciences during the previous
years, taking into account the number of students by the years of studies and the trends in the
development of the branch of power engineering, we can plan the following development of the
programme – the students’ matriculation and output of specialists by years:
Table 11
Number of 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

the budgetary
places)
Graduates 6 9 15 18 20 20 20
After the year 2010 the number of the graduates of the programme should stabilise at
the number of 15-20.
Further development of the programme of studies and raising the quality of training is
connected with the development of the material and technical resources. The material and
technical resources of the programme should improve during the next 5 years.

INTRODUCTION

2nd level higher professional education study program Heat and power
engineering is implemented in collaboration with Faculty of Transport and
Mechanical Engineering at RTU. The study programme is meant to train
specialists in heat and power engineering ready to work at thermal power
stations, cogeneration stations, with the heating systems. The labour market of
Latvia shows that this specialty is topical in Latvia. The programme is aimed at
decreasing lack of progress in technical sphere, decreasing unemployment and
preparing qualified specialists in social sphere, as well as at introduction and
application of modern technologies.
In Daugavpils branch of RTU, the study programme can be acquired in a
full-time study form. After the end of the second year, full- time students
continue studies at RTU in Riga at the Faculty of Transport and Mechanical
Engineering and get higher education there. As to part-time students, they
continue their studies in Riga at the Faculty of Transport and Mechanical
Engineering at RTU after the end of the third year of studies.
After graduation, the students get professional Bachelor’s degree and the
qualification of Engineer in heat and power engineering.

OBJECTIVES AND TASKS OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME

The objective of the study programme is to give students necessary


knowledge, which would ensure stable work of heating production and
consumption system. The study programme gives students the opportunity to
start higher technical education in Latgale region, to meet the requirements of
legislature of the Republic of Latvia in labour and social issues, as well as to
continue education in order to get the highest scientific degree.
Daugavpils branch of RTU sets its task to provide inhabitants of Latgale
region with a possibility to study academic and professional study programmes
approved by the decisions of the Senate of RTU. Students can choose one of the

141
following forms of studies – full-time (day or evening) or part-time studies. The
number of credit points is determined by the Senate of RTU.
The tasks of the study programme are as follows:
• to offer comprehensive knowledge in system designing, operation, power
division automatization and calculation, etc.
• to develop formation and acquisition of students’ scientific research skills,
to develop independent thinking while writing and defending term and
Bachelor papers;
• to ensure understanding of heat and power engineering, its principles and
development;
• to give an opportunity to apply the acquired theoretical knowledge in
practice;
• to foster practical application of the acquired knowledge;
• to prepare specialists in professional and academic disciplines at the level,
which would give the students the opportunity to develop the acquired
knowledge in professional Master study programmes;
• to foster cooperation of students who study heat and power engineering
with colleagues from other countries;
• graduates of professional studies have to be able to understand how to
solve problems, to participate in designing and implementing projects, as
well as to be able to work in a team of specialists.

COMPLIANCE OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME WITH THE STANDARD OF PROFESSIONAL HIGHER EDUCATION

Daugavpils branch of RTU implements licensed and accredited RTU study programmes.
After graduation, students of the Bachelor Professional study programme „Heat and power engineering” are to get the
qualification „Engineer Qualification in Heat and Power Engineering” (which corresponds to the 5th level of professional
qualification) and “Prpfessional Bachelor Degree in Heat and Power Engineering”.
The content and number of credit points of the 2nd level higher professional education study program “ Heat and power
engineering” fully complies with Regulation Nr 481 „Regulations for the state standard of the 2nd level higher professional
education” of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia (November 20, 2001).

160 CP of the study programme are divided in the following way:

A. Compulsory subjects 96 CP
B1. Specialty (professional) subjects
14 CP
B2. Humanities, social subjectsi 2 CP
B3. Languages 4 CP

142
C. Free choice subjects
6 CP
D. Practice
26 CP
E. State examinations ( diploma work)
12 CP
The basic principles of the evaluation
system of knowledge applied in the study
programme fully complies with the state
education standard and are as follows:
• summing positive evaluation up
• compulsory check of knowledge at the and of each course
• open and clear evaluation criteria – requirements for tests are available for
any student either at the lecturers or at the administration, and are given in
the begininning of each course
• variety of examination forms – term papers, tests, examinations, etc.

PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAMME

Lecturing methods

Daugavpils branch of RTU closely collaborates with Faculty of Transport


and Mechanical Engineering, which implements the same study programme.
Collaboration takes place not only among lecturers, but among administration as
well. The study process has a good organization and is based on the procedures
accepted at RTU. This study programme has been implemented in Daugavpils
branch of RTU since 2007/2008 study year.
The study process is organized in accordance with RTU uniform
academic calendar, as well as with the specific nature of the study programme
“Haet and power engineering”.
Acquisition of knowledge takes place in the following forms: lectures, as
well as seminars, workshops, practice and consultations. In addition, students

143
are fostered to work independently. During the term, students elaborate and
defend laboratory works, practical and independent works, participate at
seminars and have tests. Research work plays a significant role in the study
process: students work independently and present the results in the frameworks
of study courses.
Only those students who have met all the requirements set in the study
programme (have written a test, have performed individual work, etc) are
allowed to pass the test. Otherwise, students do not have the right to pass the
test. The marks for tests are registered in student’s record books and
test/examination record lists.
Cooperation of the faculty and Daugavpils branch helps to develop the
content of the study programme and to find innovative approaches to the study
process. In addition, working programmes of subjects are conformed with
responsible professors of corresponding RTU departments and groups of
professors who give the branch lecturers permission for subject teaching within
a particular period of time (6 years).

Cooperation with employers

The contents of the study programme is developed and implemented in


cooperation with employees. As a result of this cooperation, the study
programme is developed in accordance with the set onjectives and tasks.
Daugavpils branch of RTU has long-term and stable relationships
with employers. Our constant partners are: SIA “Zigler mašīnbūve”, “
Axon cambler”, SIA “ LCS ”, A/S “Lokomotīve”, “Austrumu elektriskie
tīkli”, etc. Each year representatives of different companies and state offices
participate at student scientific conferences organized at university.
After graduation from university, some former students start working in
the companies, which collaborate with the university.
Employers’ oral surveys and support letters show the value, necessity and
popularity of the study programme “Heat and Power Engineering”.

EVALUATION SYSTEM

Description of the evaluation system of students’ knowledge

Students’ knowledge is checked in oral and written forms. It is evaluated


according to the following scale:

144
• very high level of achievement (10 – “with distinction”, 9 –
“excellent”)
• high level of achievement (8 – “very good”, 7 – “good”)
• satisfactory level of achievement (6 – “almost good”, 5 –
“satisfactory”, 4 – “almost satisfactory”)
• low level of achievement (3-1 – “unsatisfactory”)
Theoretical knowledge is evaluated with the help of tests and
examinations. There are practical works, such as course papers, laboratory
works and practice; the main evaluation is given by employers. Each student
performs several practice works, which are evaluated by “passed” or “failed”. A
student is not allowed to take an examination, if even one laboratory work is not
defended. The evaluation of the laboratory work depends on the quality of the
work performed and knowledge on the topic of the given work. During exams,
students have to show good knowledge of theoretical material, understanding of
the course, ability to apply the knowledge during independent work. The main
criteria of evaluation are as follows:
• understanding and deep knowledge,
• creative approach for combining theory and practice,
• quality of performance at seminars, tests and course papers.
Lecturers in Daugavpils branch of RTU practice constant consultation
system; the time of consultations is known in advance and it can be also found
in the Internet. There are additional consultations both for individual students
and for groups of students. The majority of lecturers use e-studies and e-mails,
thus ensuring communication with students.
There is constant check of the results. For the students who have not
passed exams or tests, the lecturers organize consultations and additional
examinations. Students who cannot get positive evaluation at the end of the
course have an opportunity to attend the course and take the examination one
more time.

Analysis of the results of the evaluation system


Evaluation system of students’ knowledge is based on Regulation Nr 481 „Regulations for the state standard of the 2nd
level higher professional education” of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia (November 20, 2001). The results of the
evaluation system of students’ knowledge are discussed twice a study year (after each term) during the meetings of administration
staff. The results are summarized and evaluated by the study programme administration as well. The results of the discussions serve
as the basis for the further development of the study process.

The basic principles of the evaluation system of knowledge applied in the


study programme “Heat and power engineering” are as follows:
• principle of summing positive evaluation up;

145
• principle of compulsory check of knowledge;
• principle of open and clear evaluation criteria;
• principle of variety of examination forms;
• principle of accessible examinations.
The duty of each lecturer in Daugavpils branch of RTU is to clearly define
his/her requirements and evaluation system during the first introductory
lecture. The requirements for positive evaluation and evaluation criteria are
stated in the study plans: requirements and evaluation are a part of the course
description.

STUDENTS

The number of students involved in the study programme

5 budget study places were planned for the students of the study programme „Heat and
power engineering” (DMCNO) implemented in Daugavpils branch of RTU, but due to
great demand for this programme, two more budget place were allocated to our university.
Thus, in 2007-2008 study years Daugavpils branch of RTU matriculated 7 students who
currently study this programme.
It should be mentioned that the study programme „Heat and power engineering” is
implemented in Daugavpils branch of RTU for the first year, that is why a lot of attention
has to be paid to its promotion and popularization among students.

Involvement of students in the development of the study process

Weak points of the study programme are revealed with the help of the
survey (see Appendix 1 for the questionnaire used for the survey) that is
conducted by the academic staff. Administration tries to take all the weaknesses
into consideration and to eliminate them using and developing their work
methods.
For the students, meetings with admonistration and lecturers are
organized. During the meeting suggestions and opinions are discussed.
Students of Daugavpils branch of RTU take active participation in
Student Parliament. Students participate in the events held at university, they are
involved in the organization of these events, solve different students’ problems.
Students also participate at conferences and Information Days, thus promoting
studies in Daugavpils branch of RTU.

Students’ evaluation of the study programme

146
Both students and employers give positive evaluation to the study
programme. Since last study year the majority of lecturers have performed the
non-formal survey of students in order to find out their opinion about the course
and lecturing methods and to take it into consideration in the future. The survey
shows that students get knowledge mainly from the materials given by the
lecturers. Students also give positive evaluation to rather small number of
students in the groups; it ensures better communication and understanding
between students and lecturers.
Appendix 1 shows the results of the survey of students aimed to find out
their opinion about the 2nd level higher professional education study program
“Heat and power engineering”.

Qualification of the academic staff

Qualification of the academic staff corresponds to the requirements of the


Law of Education. 70% of the staff involved in the implementation of the study
programme are employees of Daugavpils branch of RTU.
Working programmes of subjects are conformed with responsible
professors of corresponding RTU departments and groups of professors who
give the branch lecturers permission for subject teaching within a particular
period of time (6 years).
The implementation of the study programme is ensured by 20 lecturers
(see CV in Appendix 4), 1of them is from Riga. All academic staff has Master’s
or scientific Doctor’s degrees, several of them raise their qualification taking
Doctoral studies (V.Miglāns, S.Stašāne, A.Grigorjevs, I.GriĦevičs ).
Daugavpils branch of RTU tries all the time to involve young specialists
in the implementation of the study programme “Heat and power engineering”.
Due to the lack of human resources, leading specialists from Riga (Faculty of
Transport and Mechanical Enginering at RTU) are involved in the
implementation of the study programme.

Policy of selection, training and development of the academic staff

148
The staff of Daugavpils branch of RTU is formed by academic staff, i.e.
lecturers selected for academic positions in Daugavpils branch of RTU.
Docents, lecturers and assistants are selected for academic positions for 6
years, in case if the person is not selected for these positions at other education
or scientific establishments. Constitution of RTU gives the criteria of
qualification and compliance of an employee with the position. The main ones
are as follows:
• Education and qualification
• Academic and scientific degrees
• Length of service
• Growth of qualification
• Results of scientific research work
• Methodic work
These criteria are crucial in the policy of selection and development of the
academic staff.
The council of Daugavpils branch of RTU evaluates the necessity to
attract guest lecturers. In order to conduct several courses of the study
programme, highly professional lecturers with rich experience are invited. This
tendency is considered to be positive.
In 2007/2008 study year, academic staff of the branch has been enlarged
by 4 new lecturers: A.Grigorjevs, I.Grinevičs, P.Gavrilovs and S.Smirnovs; two
more lecturers have got Doctor’s degrees and have become docents – J.Stašāne
and I.Ščukins. In future they will substitute the old generation staff.
In order to provide students with efficient independent work and intensify
studying process in Daugavpils branch of RTU, each year the methodic
committee – V.Miglāns, J.Stašāne, V.ĥikišins – work out the work plan. The
work plan of the methodic committee for 2007/2008 is presented in Appendix 2.

All enterprises can provide students with practice place as well

7. Evaluation System

The basis of evaluation criteria for awarding a qualification of Bachelor is


evaluation of the acquired knowledge of subjects of general education as well as
general subjects in the given field

The practical testing forms include laboratory and practical works, course
papers and professional training.

Testing of theoretical knowledge is carried out through tests and


examinations. Regulation of education acquisition includes elaboration and
substantiation of practical works and course papers, passing examinations and
tests, elaboration and defence or presentation of Diploma Project.

As a result within the framework of Professional Bachelor’s study


programme Diploma Project has to be worked out including both theoretical and
practical part.

Theoretical part discloses knowledge of main fundamental and field


subjects.

Practical part deals with the topical technological and designing objectives
of the field.
The quantity of tasks in tests corresponds to the content stated in the study
programme as well as to the requirements of skills and knowledge stated in the
Occupation Standard.

The principal forms of evaluating knowledge obtained while mastering


the programme subjects are examinations and credit tests. 3 credit points of
study course are minimum to arrange the exam.

At the examinations students’ knowledge and skills are assessed


according to a ten – grade scale:
very high level of achievement ( 10 – “outstanding”, 9 – “excellent”);

202
high level of achievement ( 8 – “very good”, 7 – “good”);
average level of achievement ( 6 – “almost good”, 5 – “satisfactory”, 4 –
“almost satisfactory”);
low level of achievement ( 3 – “poor”, 2 – “very poor”, 1 –
“unsatisfactory”).

At a credit test the acquired knowledge is assessed according to a binary


evaluation scale – “tested” or “not tested”.

Credit points are given for each covered study course and the professional
training if the received evaluation is not lower than “a four” (almost satisfactory)
or “tested”.

The study programme is concluded with the defence or presentation of the


Diploma Project and awarded with a qualification of “ Engineer in Heat and
Power”.

Analysis of the results of the evaluation system


Evaluation system of studets’ knowledge is based on Regulation No 481 “
Regulations for the state standard of the 2nd level of higher professional
education” of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia (November 20,
2001) The results of the evaluation of students’ knowledge are discussed twice a
study year (after each term) during the meeting of administration staff. The
results are summerized and evaluated by the study programme administration as
well. The results of the discussions serve as the basis for the further
development of the study programme.

The basic principles of the evaluation system of knowledge applied in the


study programme “”Heat and Power Engineering” are as follows:
* principle of summing positive evaluation up;
* principle of compulsory check of knowledge;
* principle of open and clear evaluation criteria;
* principle of variety of examination forms;
* principle of accessible examinations.
The duty of each lecturer in Liepaja Branch of RTU is to define clearly
his/her requirements and evaluation system during the first introductory lecture.
The requirements for positive evaluation and evaluation criteria are stated in the
study plans: requirements and evaluation are a part of the course description.

8. Information about Students
