The students can receive the methodological provision in the RTU Scientific and technical library which has a sufficient store of books, magazines and other literature, and a sufficient area of reading-rooms (for the list of the available literature see Appendix 9). The

7

students have an access to the other libraries of Latvia. In addition, the students and the lecturers of the syllabus „Heat and Power Engineering” have an access to diverse literature, CD and the Internet in the computer rooms of the structural units serving the heat and power engineering syllabus. The students have a possibility to copy study aids.

The amount, contents, diversity and availability of the methodological provision of the syllabus „Heat-and-Power Engineering” is considered as good.

Publication of new methodical materials, lectures and a book is intended in the course of the project financed from the ESF.

6. Organisation of seminars, studies, practices and writing master’s thesis

Seminars. For deeper mastering of particular theoretical issues seminars and practical classes are organised. They proceed according to the syllabus and the schedule by groups. During the seminar classes practical aspects of the courses of lectures are analysed, the most important methodologies are acquired, the students train in the development of methods, making descriptions, suggestions and presentations. A significant place is allotted to the perfection of the skills of team work.

Course papers (Studiju darbi). Elaboration of course papers is based on wide application of the computer equipment in analyses and calculations, processing of texts and graphic documents. The students carry them out using the RTU computer rooms.

Elaboration of the course papers contain basically studying and translation of documents and publications, from the English/German language, formation of equivalent words and word combinations in the Latvian language, writing the text in a literary correct technical Latvian language, preparation of the review of the work and a presentation, and a short presentation of results.

Practice report and the master’s thesis. The students carry out their practical work according to the master’s syllabus in compliance with the conditions of the acquired speciality at the largest enterprises of Latvia: Latvenergo, Rīgas Siltums, branches of the Riga TPP – TPP-1 and TPP-2, Latvijas Gāze, the Latvian National Metrology Centre, Rebir, Rinar, regional and city boiler houses, etc. The materials obtained during the practical work are used in the development of the master’s thesis. The work is processed in compliance with the RTU regulations “Regulations concerning the writing of the graduation thesis”.

7. Students’ practices

In accordance with the syllabi approved at the RTU the students have the following practice: in the professional master’s syllabus - 6 CP.

The principles of the organisation of the practice for professional syllabi at the RTU are set by the direction of the RTU pro-rector for studies No 61 (Appendix 11) of May 24, 2002 according to which:

1) organisation of the practice is carried out by the practice leader from the RTU structural units;

2) a bilateral agreement on practice is concluded with the place of practice in which the obligations and responsibility of the sides are reflected. An example of the agreement is given Appendix 12. No real agreements are concluded on the practice

8

because enrolment of students in the syllabus started in the academic year 2004/2005;

3) the practice is effected according to the practice programme worked out by the commission of the syllabus of the branch;

4) the students are given individual practice assignments.

The students’ practices proceed in cooperation with the Latvenergo Joint-Stock Company, the Rīgas Siltums Joint-Stock Company, the Latvijas Gāze Joint-Stock Company, the branches of Riga TPP – 1 and TPP - 2, “Viessmann”, GREIN Joint-Stock Company, the Latvian National Metrology Centre, Rebir, Rinar, ARTTEC, The Institute of Physical Energetics of the Latvian Academy of Sciences (for intention agreements on practices see Appendix 11).

8. Material and technical resources

The RTU structural units participating in the implementation of the bachelor’s professional syllabus “Heat-and-Power Engineering and Heating Engineering” ensure the studies of the students in their lecture and computer rooms using the necessary presentation equipment. The classes of professional specialisation courses in heat-and-power engineering, heating engineering and automation of heating engineering processes take place at 6 Ezermalas Street.

The structural unit Heat and Power department effecting the syllabus is situated in Riga, at 6 Ezermalas Street with an area of 561 m2 for training students. Besides the common lecture rooms, the area includes specialised lecture rooms. The Heat and Power department has overhead projectors, copiers, videoprojectors and other computer equipment (Table 2) to organise a qualitative process of studies.

The students’ training in special subjects is carried out in the lecture rooms and laboratories of the professor’s group of heat and power engineering systems, as well as in the specialised laboratories of the Latvenergo, Rīgas Siltums”, “Viessmann”, Latvian National Metrology Centre. The material and technical resources are sufficient to ensure the

9

students’ professional training including computers, the holographic equipment, electronic stands for the heat processes, an automatic heat unit, a stand for studying combustion processes, the laboratory of heat engines. Improvements are brought about in the laboratories of thermodynamical, heat exchange, hydraulic measurements and automation.

The equipment of Heat and combustion laboratory is used in the learning process. The finances for the perfection of the material and technical resources are obtained from the state budget and the LAS grant whose director is Prof. D. Turlajs.

Within the framework of the ESF-financed project “Improvement of the bachelor’s and master’s syllabi in Heat and Power Engineering” finances are envisaged for the purchase of new laboratory equipment.

9. Implementation of the syllabus of master’s professional studies and principles of democratic management

Direction of the syllabus, the democratic principles of its implementation are ensured by the RTU Constitution and the decisions of the RTU Senate.

The RTU Constitution was adopted at the Saeima of the Republic of Latvia on February 5, 1998, and approved by President of State on February 18, 1998. Paragraph 5 of the Constitution provides that the RTU administrative and deciding institution is Senate which has 25 % of representatives elected by students, undergraduates and doctoral students.

The students have the right of delaying veto in Senate on the items concerning the students’ interests.

Thus all the items concerning the students’ interests, including the syllabi, are adopted at the RTU Senate in a democratic way considering the students’ interests.

The students are represented also in the councils of faculties and institutes, which provides a possibility to take into consideration the students’ proposals when programmes and syllabi are worked out.

The democratic principles of the management of syllabi are ensured by the professor’s staff of the heat-and-power engineering systems in compliance with the RTU Constitution and the decisions of the RTU Senate.

In order to improve the quality of the syllabus, systematic inquiry is made both among the students and specialists the producers – the authors of the syllabus. Besides, separate inquiry forms are drawn up for the students of professional studies and the employers.

The explanatory work – agitation for the completion of the contingent, general management, scheduling, planning of sessions, granting diplomas is carried out by the professor’s group of the heat-and-power engineering systems.

The following TRU faculties and institutes are involved in the implementation of the master’s professional syllabus “Heat-and-Power Engineering and Heating Engineering”:

Faculty of ArchitectureFaculty of Engineering EconomicsFaculty of Transport and Mechanical EngineeringHumanitarian InstituteLanguage Institute

The master’s professional syllabus “Heat-and-Power Engineering” is drawn up according to the above-mentioned principles. To improve the quality of the syllabus,

10

questionnaires are systematically conducted of both the students and producers – the authors of the syllabus.

10. Academic staff

Teaching of the special subjects of heat-and-power engineering and heating engineering is ensured by: - Acad.dr.habil.sc.ing., prof. D.Turlajs- Dr. sc.ing., ass. prof.. J. Nagla- Dr.habil.sc.ing.prof. N. Zeltiņš - Dr.sc.ing. ass. prof. M. Rubīna - Dr. sc.ing., ass. prof. D. Rusovs- Dipl. ing., ass. prof. M. Valpēteris- Dr. sc.ing. I. Barmina- M.sc.ing. S. Vostrikovs- Ing. assist. A. Ramata

All the teachers listed above are characterised by active scientific activity. All of them have scientific papers in generally recognised editions in Latvia and abroad. Several of them direct bachelor’s and doctoral theses, the grants of the Latvian Academy of Sciences and other themes. More detailed information about the life and work experience of these lecturers is given in their CV in Appendix 13.

11. Students

In the first year of the operation of the syllabus, i.e. in the academic year 2004/2005, 2 places were allotted from the places financed from the state budget but in the academic year 2005./2006 - 5 places financed from the state budget. At the beginning of the spring term of this year there are 9 students of the master’s syllabus. (see the lists of the students in Appendix 14).

12. Implementation costs of the syllabus

Implementation costs of the syllabus “Heat and Power Engineering” can be approximately calculated by means of the calculation system of the RTU budget subsidies based on Regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers No 334 of July 24, 2001 “Procedure in which higher schools are financed from the means of the state budget”.

In the current year the finances needed for the syllabus of “Heat and Power Engineering” are allotted from the total fund of the RTU. According to the calculation system of the RTU the average costs per 1 place of studies are Ls. 2146.12 a year.

In accordance with the RTU calculation system, the average costs of one place of studies in 2005 was approximately 3219 Ls.

Taking into account that material and technical resources of the syllabus and the academic staff are completed and the students’ training proceeds successfully in parallel accredited syllabi, we can consider that the studies according to this syllabus can take place.

11

13. Development plan of the syllabus

By analysing the number of specialists trained during the previous years in related specialities, taking into account the number of students by courses and considering the development trends of the branch of energetics we can plan the following development of the syllabus – output of specialists by years:

Number of graduates

2006.g. 2007.g. 2008.g 2009.g. 2010.g. 2011.g. 2 6 5 6 6 6

According to the syllabus of the year 2008 the number of graduates should stabilise to about 5.

Further development of the syllabus and raising the quality of training are connected with the development of the material and technical resources of the syllabus. In the next 5 years the material and technical resources of the programme should change using the up-to-date equipment of the firms, computers and information technologies.

Investments into the syllabus for the material and technical resources, Ls

2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 200516 000 49 000 40 000 40 000 50 000 50 000 16 000

By making investments into the material and technical resources, as well as by raising the salaries of the academic staff and the support staff it is possible to ensure the competitive capacity of specialists.

Within the framework of the syllabus “Heat and Power Engineering” means are allotted to the popularisation of the developments of students and other interested persons, a professor’s group evolving active agitation work. The publicity and advertising material are spread in secondary schools, colleges, educational establishments, the open days, at the exhibition „School – 2005”, as well in the edition “A Guide to Education”.

14. General analysis of the self-evaluation of the syllabus

The self-evaluation report of the syllabus “Heat and Power Engineering” allows drawing the following conclusions. The strong points of the syllabus:1. The syllabus has all the necessary documentation for the organisation of master’s

professional studies. It ensures obtaining the degree of the highest professional education and qualification: - master’s professional degree in heat and power engineering;- qualification: engineer in heat and power engineering.

2. Within the framework of the syllabus it is possible to train specialists who are in great demand for the Latvian energetics, industry, agriculture, health care, science, training the higher school staff already now and in the perspective.

12

3. Organisation and management of the syllabus corresponds to the common principles and normative documents of Riga Technical University.The syllabi are developed, accepted and approved in accordance with the order set by the RTU Senate considering the principles of democracy;

4. The academic staff of the syllabus has high scientific qualification and experience of work. The teachers of the subjects are professors, assistant professors, doctors of engineering, assistants for whom the RTU is their main place of work.

5. Material and technical resources for the acquisition of the syllabus is sufficient. Renovation of the material and technical resources of the syllabus is in progress.

6. Separate parts of the syllabus and their contents are worked out in a harmonised succession corresponding to the world’s standards of syllabi to allow the students to obtain special professional education of higher professional qualification.

7. The syllabus ensures training of highly qualified specialists who are competitive in the modern labour market.

8. The syllabus has good links with the development of science in Latvia. 9. The syllabus allows the population of Latvia to obtain the desired education in the

sphere of engineering, which would be adequate to similar syllabi abroad.

The weak points of the syllabus:1. The academic staff is partly of the pension and pre-pension age. Attraction of new

teaching staff is required; 2. On the part of the syllabus leadership there is no completely elaborated system with a

feedback for monitoring the efficiency and quality of studies; 3. It is possible only episodically (e.g., in the case of paid tuition and acquisition

competitive works) to state the society’s need for specialists trained in the offered directions of studies;

4. The process of studies has a weak link with the enterprises of national economy and industry;

5. Considering the situation that the young people in secondary schools choose humanitarian subjects for studying, the syllabus has problems at the present stage of the development of the Latvian state how to attract a sufficient influx of students;

6. The teaching staff has not changed essentially during the last 10 years because the young specialists do not want to continue pedagogical work;

7. It would be desirable for the teachers of practical subjects to turn more actively to the research activity and publicity in internationally recognised editions.
