As a base the following programs have been taken: three year Master academic program of the Railway transport direction of Transport program, accepted at the RTU Senate on the 31st of January 2000 and two year Master academic program in Transport, accepted on the 26th of June 2002.

The strategic questions of the study program have been considered at the meetings of RTU Faculty of Transport and Machinery board of directors and board of the institute of Railway transport (DzTI).

The professional study program “Railway transport” is based on the Institute of Railway Transport that is an announcer of the accreditation.

Short review of the Institute (DzTI) of Railway transport

General information: DzTI was organized with the order of RTU rector in 1992 the 18th of May. The first Regulation of the Institute (DzTI) of Railway transport was accepted by the RTU Senate on the 31st of May 31, 1993, after which the institute became a part of Faculty of Power and Electrical engineering.

With the 31 January 2000 RTU Senate decision the studies in the field of transport were incorporated within the Faculty of Transport and Machinery (TMF). With the changes in the structure of the institute on the 17th of December 2001 the RTU Senate confirmed a new second regulation of the institute of Railway transport.

Now the DzTI contains: Professor group of Railway transport; Department of railway automation and telematics;§ Certification center of railway personnel.

Personnel of the institute: The DzTI personnel is formed by an academic personnel (13), teaching personnel (4) and researchers (6 doktoranti). Professor group of Railway transport is led by prof. P.Balckars, who is a director of DzTI, Department of railway automation and telematics is headed by asoc.prof L.Sergejeva.

Methodological activities: The teachers of DzTI provide studies in the subjects of RTU academic and professional programs of Railway Transport as well as organize academic studies

in the program “Transport” in the specialization Railway Transport and program “Computer control, information and electronic systems of transport” in the specializations “Computer control systems of the railway electric devices”, “Systems of railway transport connections and information”, as well as in the directions of professional study program “Computer control of electrical technologies” specialization “Automation and computer control of railway” and “On-shore electric transport”, specialization direction “Systems of railway transport connections and information” of program “Transport electronics and telematics”.

Short review of the Riga Technical university’s (RTU DF) Daugavpils branch

General information: Riga Technical university’s Daugavpils branch (till 1994 - RPI Daugavpils Polytechnic faculty, till 2002 - RTU learning-scientific center,) was founded in 1961 year.

Till 1992 specialists were trained in three profiles: mechanics, heat-power engineering and building (civil engineering), now students are trained in five profiles: mechanical engineering, electrical power engineering, building (civil engineering), economics and computer science.

RTU Daugavpils branch’s aim is to give possibility for starting higher technical education in Latgale. According to the learning educational plans the branch provides compulsory and alternative courses in the following programme groups of the day department: mechanics, building, elektroscience, computer science and economics from the first to the second course including. By RTU Senate decision in the branch other programme’s realization can be started.

RTU Daugavpils branch is working according with RTU Constitution: the branch is RTU’s independent department. The branch is founded and liquidated with Senate decision. Branch’s task is to provide possibility for Latvia district’s inhabitants to study choosing day, evening or extra-mural learning forms with Senate decision determined academic and professional learning programmes in Senate approved volume.

In RTU Daugavpils branch RTU licensed and accredited learning programmes are implemented, subjects’ working programmes are conformed with responsible professors of corresponding RTU departments and groups of professors who give to the branch professors permission for subject teaching.

On the branch’s first courses higher education’s basic knowledge is given, but further specialization and bachelor’s work presentation take place on the corresponding faculties in Riga. After the day department’s second course graduation students continue learning on the corresponding Technical university faculty in Riga and there they receive higher education (one year study to receive the bachelor’s degree, but then continue learning in the magistracy, which lasts two years, or receive two years engineer’s diploma). Extra-mural department’s students continue learning in Riga after the third course graduation.

During branch’s existence approximately 5000 specialists were trained, the most part of them work in several Latgale’s district establishments and organizations.

Personnel of the Daugavpils branch: 19 staff lecturers provide learning process on the day and extra-mural departments, 10 from them received engineering’s scientific doctor’s degree, 3 hour-lecturers and 20 teaching and support personal staff. Several of our branch employees raise their qualification on the doctor’s courses and in the magistracy (J.Stashane, V.Miglans, I.Kolomeichuka, S.Stashane, A.Grigorjevs).

2. LICENSE FOR THE STUDY PROGRAM

The higher education professional study program “Railway transport” on the 21st of June 2005 got a license for the rights to realize this program for getting professional Bachelor degree and engineer qualification (license Nr. 04051-65, 1st appendix) and professional Master degree

4

(license Nr.04051-66, 2nd appendix). The term of its expiration is 3 years. Full-time and part-time (extra-mural) ways of the program realization are foreseen.

3. PROVISION OF THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE STUDENTS OF THE STUDY PROGRAM “RAILWAY TRANSPORT” TO CONTINUE STUDIES AT ANOTHER PROGRAM IN THE CASE OF ITS LIQUIDATION

There is no an analog study program in the higher educational establishments of Latvia, but in the case of liquidation of the study program the studies can be continued at the similar programs of RTU Faculty of Transport and Machinery “Automobile transport” or “Engineering of transport systems”. The protocol of agreement is given in 1st and 2nd appendixs.

4. THE STUDY PROGRAM AND PLANS OF ITS STUDIES

The professional study program of Railway transport realizes 3 directions of studies. The studies of the program are provided by the Institute of Railway transport, the head subdivision is the professor group of Railway transport.

The RTU Daugavpils branch provides full-time and part-time (extra-mural) bachelor professional studies of this program for the duration of 3 semesters.

After the first year of studies the students have a possibility to choose further studies at one of the following 3 directions and their specializations:

§Direction of railway rolling train with the specializations:Ø Railway rolling locomotives;Ø Railway rolling carriages.

§Direction of railway technology of transportations;§Direction of rail road and road machines with the specializations:

Ø Rail roads;Ø Road machines.

4.1. Program of professional bachelor studies

For undertaking the studies secondary or secondary professional education is needed.

The goal of the program is to give basic professional education in the field of railway transport that allows to work at the enterprises and organizations of the industry of railway transport as well as at scientific and educational institutions that provide effective technologic system of the railway transport, development and maintenance of the processes connected with the provision of technical means, organization and control of the loads and passengers transportations and preparation of the students for the further master studies.

6. PERSPECTIVE ESTIMATION OF THE STUDY PROGRAM FROM THE LATVIAN STATE ITERESTS POINT OF VIEW

Now in Latvia, similarly to all states of European Union to the railway transport a special attention is paid, as a un normal situation appeared, when a motor transport forced out the railway transport even in those spheres, where the railway transport has unequivocal advantages. Thus the infrastructure of railway transport and rolling are therefore modernized, progressive technologies and executed restructuring of industry of railway are introduced to increase speed and safety, service of maintenance of passengers and cargo transportations. The railway transport has a large weight in a state general budget, that is provided with the transportations of cargoes through the countries.

Already now there is a lack of specialists of the highest qualification of railway transport in state a/s “Latvian railway” structural subdivisions, and also for the railway transport in family branches. Taking into account soon designed and built new lines of railway “Rail Baltic”, the lack of such specialists will be only increased, therefore, to provide industry of railway transport with skilled specialists it is necessary to have in Latvia the study program "Railway transport".

6.1. Accordance of the study program to the standard of the higher education and standard of profession

Study program of professional bachelor ” Railway transport” fully corresponds to the MK terms the Nr.481/2001 “Terms for the standard of the state of the higher education of the second level”. This accordance to the standard of the state higher education is shown in a table 6.1.:

6.2. Results of the questionnaire of employers

In the development of the study program “Railway transport” the staff of a/s “Latvian railways” actively participated advising to modernize the previous professional program “Transport”. These advices were also taken into account in the process of making of the study program of Railway transport. After the infrastructure staff advices the subdivision of the program “Rail roads and road machines” has been added with the followings subjects: Construction Materials on Rail Track Facilities, Engineering Geology, Ground Mechanics and

18

Foundations, Rail Track Surveying and Design, Bridges and Ducts Construction and Maintenance, Rail Track Machine Hydraulic and Electric Drive, Nondestructive Control in Railway Transportation etc. Including these subjects into the study program will allow to the students more detail understanding of maintenances of infrastructure of railway, principles of repair and planning and technology of implementation, which in same turn are in progress in their more successful new planning of the “Rail Baltica” works.

Realization of the program in time are regularly supported with the contacts with the employers, industries of railway transport and family branches. If the advices of the employers are not in conflict with the program normative documents, their advices are taken into account.

Purpose of the project is to perfect transport of the RTU railway and program of professional studies of motor transport, improving ability of students to use theoretical knowledge at practical work, to collect materials for implementation of Bachelor paper (Master), and also fasten the network of collaboration of practice with social partners (for the enterprises of practice).

Making of Bachelor paper (Master) is the final point of the professional studies. Bachelor paper with the project of 16 KP is released, for Master paper 20 KP.

Bachelor paper foresees the analysis of the state of some problem connected with the directions of railway transport. The purpose of the work is to generalize on a practical work, various publications and by computer networks accessible information, to formulate the tasks and to realize them in a part of the produced project.

Master paper is a research work in the direction of the proper specialization of railway transport. The purpose of the work is to teach to generalize accessible information, independently to execute a necessary research of a new device of railway transport, investigating processes and algorithms. Master work with project foresees a detailed making of the project in direction of railway transport.

The theme of Bachelor paper (Master) is chosen by the students from the list offered by the teachers and accepted by the supervisor. Themes of works and their supervisors are confirmed at the meeting of the Institute. The supervisor of Bachelor paper (Master) can be confirmed from the institute academic staff, or specialists of conformable specialty of enterprises of transport and qualification, which often are neighboring performers of work in the institute. At the beginning the task of the work is formulated. The control of implementation of the work is executed by a supervisor. The fully completed work is signed by the student, supervisor of the work and handed in to the head of the department, who assigns the reviewer of the work.

Bachelor paper (Master) with the project is defended in public. The paper is valued by a commission consisted of a chairman, secretary and not less than 3 members. The chairman of

22

the qualification commission is invited from leading specialists of correspondent direction of the field of railway transport, but a half of the commission are highly qualified specialists of railway transport.

Master paper is valued by a commission, in composition of which there is the head of the department (groups of professors), supervisor of Master paper and a reviewer assigned by the head of the department (groups of professors) and two leading specialists of industry of railway.

For the work elaboration the institute offers the methodical guidelines of the correspondent themes.

In the study program “Railway transport” possibilities of the additional teaching are given to the students, using the subjects of obligatory and free choice former in the program, and the volume of which is certain with the decision of the RTU Senate. The subjects of obligatory choice in the program of professional studies enable to choose one of foreign languages (England, German, French), and also humanitarian and social subjects. The volume (bachelor 6 KP and in the program of Master 4 KP) of the subjects of free choice allows to extract additional education humanitarian, social or in sciences of technique.

Each year the students of the institute participate in the competition of the Fund (LIF) of formation of Latvia program grant and advanced studies (the last one two years does not take place). 5-6 students get the LIF grants every semester.

7.6.3. Selection of academic personnel, policy of renewing, teaching and development

Renewal of academic personnel in foundation is executed, realizing in doctoral studios. Now the institute of Railway transport participates in realization of the programs of two doctoral studios: Railway transport and Transport computer control, information and electronic systems. The amount of PhD students in the programs is presented in a table 7.6.3.

During the last 3 years doctoral degrees of engineering sciences 3 graduating doctoral students got - Mareks Mezītis, Jeļena Čaiko and Nadežda Kunicina. M.Mezītis works in an institute as a lecturer at a basic work in the position of associated professor, J.Čaiko – at a neighboring work in the position of lecturer, N.Kunicina - payment hours.

All the doctoral students during the studies participate in the process of lessons delivering lectures, conducting practical classes or laboratories.

There is a necessity to increase the number of budget placed at the doctoral course (6 places) as the experience shows that a part of the doctoral students graduate the doctoral advanced studies without paper defending and another part of them has no desire to participate in pedagogical work. Although the government adopted pretty considerable multiplying payment in order to stimulate young graduates interest in the process of teaching.

7.7. Financial sources and infrastructure provision

Methodological (didactic) provisionThe methodological provision contains: books of lessons, electronic courses of lectures

(printed and CD), methodological regulations of laboratory works, publications in English, German and Russian, catalogues of devices, normative documents of Railway transport, directives of ES, international standards, etc.

The students can get the methodological provision in the scientific library of RTU, and also in the branch of the scientific library institute of Railway transport RTU, which contains enough books, magazines and other volumes of literature in the area of railway transport. In the funds of the libraries there are more than 25 000 copies, the greatest part of which relates to the field of Railway transport. For students other libraries of Latvia are accessible also. In the library of institute for students the inter-library connecting is accessible also with seals of information and increases possibilities.

The methodological provision of the study program “Railway transport” is possible to consider useful, however there are some disadvantages which have to be prevented:

- preparation and delivery of the synopses of lectures;- renewing of the aged methodological materials.CV of the lecturers are in appendix 1 and 2 with the information of preparation of studying

materials.

34

Material and technical provisionLessons in the subjects of the study program take place in the specially equipped

audiences with a new presentation technique that provides all kinds of audiovisual lesson and financial availability of information, including direct connecting to the Internet. 4 computer classes with 40 working places equipped with modern Pentium computers with the provision of the necessary programs are provided by the Institute of Railway transport.

Mastering of special subjects is provided by the following laboratories of the Institute of Railway transport:

1. Laboratory of electrical equipments of rolling train;2. Laboratory of technology of repair of rolling train;3. Technical provision of safety of motion of trains and laboratory of automatic brakes;4. Laboratory of rolling train vibroacustic diagnostics;5. Laboratory of transmissions of power locomotives; 6. Laboratory of welding and gas;7. Laboratory of testing of materials;8. Laboratory of electric centralization of signals;9. Guidance of motion of trains dispatcher laboratory;10. Laboratory of communication networks of railway;11. Laboratory of the systems of support of transport logistic decisions; 12. Laboratory of un shattering control of rails; 13. Laboratory of un shattering control of elements of rolling train; 14. Laboratory of intellectual technologies of transport.

RTU Daugavpils branch has the following laboratories and rooms:1. Laboratory of physics;2. Laboratory of chemistry;3. Cabinet of space geometry;4. Cabinet of technical drawing;5. Laboratory of electrical engineering and electronics; 6. Laboratory of electricity;7. Laboratory of metal technologies and strength;8. Laboratory of metal technologies;9. Metal cutting machines;10. Workshop of mechanics; 11. Laboratory of building materials;12. Laboratory of technical measurements;13. Cabinets of foreign languages;14. Computer classes.

During the last two years the specialized laboratory is compiled with the devices of laboratory and vehicles which are purchased by the State “Latvian railway” for facilities of sponsor, and also for facilities of European Union funds financing.

In this connection it is possible to suppose, that materials of the study program “Railway transport” a technical base and volume of the methodological providing, maintenance, variety and availability is considered as meeting the requirements of the necessary level.

Financial sourcesThe study program “Railway transport” financing is executed from the state budgets divided facilities for Riga Technical university.

In accordance with the payments of field of Railway transport of the RTU adopted payment for one student is 2,06 times more than minimum (Ls 696). So the payments is in the study program of bachelor: 696*2,06 = 1434 Ls for one student per year, but the study program of master's degree is: 696*2,06*1,5 = 2151 Ls for one student per year.

35

In accordance with RTU grant regulation (Decision of 27.09.2004 year of the RTU Senate) all RTU budget students can get a monthly grant of Ls 70.

The students of the program of Railway transport of both levels have a possibility to get the semester grant of the RTU Senate for excellent achievements in studies and active social work, the candidates for which are offered by the parliament of RTU Students.

Students, who are in a financially difficult situation have a possibility to get an single grant of Ls 70, which is awarded by the dean of TMF.

In accordance with the legislations of students of Latvia it is possible to get a credit for studies from bank, if the study program is accredited.

8. PLAN OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE STUDY PROGRAM

The plan of development foresees the increase of students, studying realization of the exchanges programs, in-plant of former academic personnel training and new specialists preparation, permanent renewal of technique of financial base and calculation, translation of methodological materials, development and issue, expansion of scientific action and more active students involvement. The main steps of the plan of development are given in 8.1. table. The pointers given in the table are based on the last year experience in teaching of students in the institute of Railway transport. In the plan of long-term development the attention is paid to the increase of query of specialists of railway in connection with designed new lines of speed railway “Rail Baltica” the project which now is at the initial development stage.

Students are one of the most substantial factors in the development of the program. In the first year (2005./06.m.g.) of studies 25 students were accepted in the program of bachelor, but in the program of master's degree - 10 students. In 2006./07. the budget places capacity of academic years in the program is increased - in the program of bachelor 35 budget places are divided, in the master program - 15 places. If the budget places capacity also in future will remain in such a volume, by 2010 number of students in the program per year will reach 150. The amount of students of part-time (extra-mural) during the first five years (2006.g. - 2010.g.) will be quickly multiplied on the master study program, that is why now in the direction of Railway transport there are 60 students, who have the only possibility to continue their studies in the professional master program “Railway transport” studying at the 3 and 4 year. After 2010 it is possible to forecast the amount of students of the extra-mural department, in connection with a considerable students amount in the period of time of from 2002 to 2004 (25-30 students in the direction of Railway transport each year), as the amount of workers workings in the Railway transport is limited.

In spite of the fact that in the process of lessons two new doctors of engineering sciences are involved, a large attention should be paid for renewing of the teaching personnel, that is why that rate of development of this process it is not possible to consider seized. There are the plans, that 6 doctoral students who study now in the program of doctoral studies of the institute will produce and successfully defend the promotion papers and will become the members of academic personnel, due to the put in order state policy and sponsorship of European Union. Now 3 doctoral students participate in pedagogical work, each of them prepared materials for presentation on one subject of the studies, therefore there are plans, that in the future they will be included into this work.

Every year the institute of Railway transport modernizes at least one computer class, changing computers for more modern. However because of the lack of facilities the fashionable devices of laboratories and efficient computer programs are not purchased in the necessary amount.

9. CONCLUSIONProgram of the professional studies "Railway transport" allows to prepare the specialists

of Railway transport of spacious type, who know such type of this transport subfield like trains (locomotives and carriages), exploitation of machines of rail roads and roads, methods of organization of repair and guidance, rolling rail, technological processes of carrying passengers and cargoes.

For the program there are analogues in the universities of the states of European Union, that provide such specialists market of labor force in Latvia and it is possible also in the network of railway of European Union.Nowadays most important problems:

- during the last 3 years (eliminating in included in a 2005. year) the amount of students diminished in the programs of Railway transport in connection with the continuous changes in the structure of the programs;

- insufficient financing of the program, that does not allow to recover for studies necessary materially technical base in a complete measure;

- difficulties with bringing in young and skilled teachers.Strong sides of the program "Railway Transport":

- teachers have many years experience and high qualification in teaching of the subjects of Railway transport;

- in the market of labor force the graduating students of the "Railway transport" program are required a lot and provided with working places;

39

- studies provide practice at the enterprises of Railway transport;- the process of teaching uses many laboratories of the systems of Railway transport, that is

unique in Latvia (technical provision of safety of motion of trains, automatic brakes, unshattering control et al systems);

- computer classes and applied software meet the modern requirements;- teachers participate in grants and implementation of contractual works of local value.

Weak sides of "Railway Transport" program:- in realization of the program there are not enough teachers a doctoral scientific degree;- there are difficulties in provision of the students with new methodological literature,

especially in Latvian;- insufficient collaboration with faculties for the programs of professional studies of other

types of transport;- the greatest part of the students connect studies with work, that does not promote

mastering of the study program.Efforts for prevention of failings:

- to activate the collaboration with state enterprise “Latvian railway” structural subdivisions and Railway transport family enterprises which allow to promote qualification of lecturers, involve them into important practical researches and promoted modernization of the laboratory basis;

- to provide agitation work at schools, in exhibitions, in the career days, to attract the university entrants for the studies in the program of “Railway transport” .

- to activate teachers in development of new methodological facilities, in preparation for issue and in the translation into Latvian;

- to activate teachers and students including in the international projects of the similar universities, which would allow not only to promote qualification of teachers and students, but also to attract refinancing.The realization of "Railway transport" program of professional studies of Riga Technical

university is stipulated both by strong development rates of the systems of Railway transport in Latvia and in Europe and former materially technical and methodological base, which is useful for those specialists preparation.

Professional study program “Railway transport” accreditation report is supported with the documents prepared by the commission of the program head, where are the representatives of DzTI and which are discussed and confirmed by the committee of the heads of Program at the meeting on the 28th of April 2006.
