4 Evaluation system
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 master’s diploma project and obtains a master’s professional degree.
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-
9
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 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. The master’s work. 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 master’s work which, according to the syllabus, is evaluated with 20 credit points and has to present a research. 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 master’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 master’s
professional syllabus “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” have practices in the amount of 6 CP.
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.
10
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 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 master’s works.
In the reference period, in the year 2008, an audit has taken place completed by the RTU rectorate considering the matters of practices. As a result several advices and admonishments were made, which were partly removed already before the spring session (term – 30th October, 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 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 master’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 highly perspective one taking in account the increasing demand and almost a deficit 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 meets the standard of professional higher education and the standard of the profession.
11
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 others.
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 thermo energetic 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 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

7.3. The students’ and graduates’ inquiries and their analysis
There was no written inquiry made among the master’s programme students, but very
often individual conversations and discussions are made considering different questions about the study process. Such inquiries show, that the study quality is rated all together positive. There are various suggestions and hints to shortcomings made (about international cooperation, the accessibility of lecture materials and book, etc.). All participants of the inquiry are satisfied with the choice of speciality and programme, and already have paid jobs in the branch of heat power and thermal engineering. The questionnaire includes also a question about the relations between the students and the lecturers. The students characterize them as businesslike.
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.
7.4. The students’ participation in the improvement of the process of
studies The personnel of the department actively attract students to take an active 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.
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.
By the 49th RTU Students’ Scientific Society (SSS) 16 reports were registered for the students’ scientific conference, section “Heat Power and Thermal Engineering”, amon them two were given in by masterš programme students..
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.
8. Evaluation of the syllabus by the academic staff 8.1 Evaluation of the syllabus by the academic staff and their number

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 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 technologies.
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 higher schools in
other countries
In order to compare the RTU syllabus „Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” with the syllabi of the other EU countries, their higher schools several syllabi were selected considering the common factors of economical and historical development.
Master’s programs of Tallinn Technical University (TTU), Kaunas University of Technologies (KTU) and Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU) is similar to the syllabus of RTU Heat and Power Engineering Systems Department (SES RTU). The comparison of the syllabus „Heat Power and Thermal Engineering” with the syllabi of the other
22
countries – Vilnius GediminasTechnical University, Kaunas University of Technologies(KTU) and Tallinn Technical University (TTU) is shown in Table 11.
The period of studies in these programs: 1.5–2 years, Number of CP: 60 to 80. Title of curriculum: ``Energetics and Thermal Engineering`` (VGTU) ``Industrial Heat Engineering`` (KTU) ``Thermal Engineering`` (TTU) The degree obtained: Master`s degree of Power Engineering (VGTU),
Master’s degree in energy engineering (VTU), Master’s degree in engineering (thermal engineering) (TTU).

The syllabi in the compared higher schools are of different study period and number of
credit points CP, so the comparison between them can be done mainly in relative numbers (by percentage calculus) for different subjects’ blocks of studies. The ratio of credit points for the subjects in the specialised block of the field, practice (in some programs titled as ``Research work``) and the Master’s Thesis is almost identical (66 %, 69 %, 66 % and 81 % respectively). There are more theoretical courses, where are less or almost none humanitarian, economical and management courses. For example, the theoretical courses at Tallinn TU make 7% of the total CP amount. At the same time, there are more CP (12%) awarded for the humanitarian, economical and business management courses.
All of Master’s professional education programs selected for comparison are elaborated with the aim to make up specialists of high professional qualification both in practical and research work. In fact, there are no principal contradictions in the structure of study programs in general, but every of them has its own specific features. As an exception the syllabus of VGTU may be mentioned, where problems of environment and ecology are also considered and heavily emphasized. 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 master’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).

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 12
Number of students
2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Enrolment (only the budgetary places)
8 10 12 12 12 12
Graduates 7 8 9 10 11 12
After the year 2010 the number of the graduates of the programme should stabilise at the number of 10-12.
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.
13. Self-evaluation – SWOT analyses
The self-evaluation report on the master’s professional syllabus “Heat Power and
Thermal Engineering” allows drawing the following conclusions.
Strong points: 1. The syllabus has all the necessary documentation for the organisation of the master’s professional studies. It ensures the possibility to obtain a degree of higher academic professional education and qualification: 2. Within the framework of the syllabus it is possible to train specialists who are in acute need already now and will be in the perspective for the Latvian energetic, industry, agriculture, health care, science, training the higher school personnel. 3. Organisation and management of the syllabus is in conformity with the generally accepted principles and normative documents of Riga Technical University. The syllabi are worked out, adopted and confirmed in agreement with the order established by the RTU Senate. 4. The academic staff of the syllabus has high pedagogical and scientific qualifications and experience of work. The
Weak points: 1. In the result of the renewal of the staff of the department partially the personnel is inexperienced and there is a necessity intensify the preparation of new members of the staff. 2. There is no completely elaborated system on behalf of the syllabus management with a feedback for monitoring the efficiency and quality of studies; 3. Often only episodically (for instance, from paid training and competitive works) it is possible to state directly society’s need for specialists who are trained in the directions of studies offered. The links with the enterprises of national economy and industry should be closer; 4. Considering the situation that most young people prefer to learn humanitarian subjects in secondary schools, the syllabus has problems at the present stage of the development of the Latvian national system of education with the attraction of
24
teachers of the subjects are professors, assistant professors, doctors of engineering sciences, whose basic place of work is RTU or who combine their work in several institutions. 5. The material and technical resources for the acquisition of the syllabus are sufficient but not complete. There take place uninterrupted renovation and improvement of the material and technical resources for the syllabus. 6. Individual parts of the syllabus and their contents are worked out in harmonized succession and meet the world standards of syllabi allowing the students acquisition of special professional education and higher professional qualifications. 7. The syllabus ensures the training of highly qualified specialists who can compete on the modern labour market. 8. The contents of the syllabus are connected well with the development of science in Latvia.
sufficiently large and well-trained concourse of students; 5. Particular problems arise from the lack of qualified technical personnel because the low salaries cannot compete in the labour market.
Possibilities
1. To increase the number of students in the specialities of heat power thus diminishing the deficiency of specialists. 2. To expand and improve further the material and technical resources (laboratories, specialized lecture rooms, cabinets, etc.) and to work out the methodical aids for teaching by attracting the necessary financing. 3. To perfect and develop up-to-date training methods on the basis of the new technical means. 4. To tackle the issues of competitive remuneration of the academic and the engineering personnel.
Risks 1. The choice of a free subject in the secondary school orients the new people to go the easiest way and not to choose mathematics, physics, chemistry as their subjects, which reduces essentially the number of sufficiently trained entrants in technical specialities (in heat power, too). 2. The unsolved issue of a competitive remuneration for the academic and engineering personnel, which hampers essentially the completion of qualified staff. 3. There is no clear long-term perspective on the nomenclature, demand and development of national economy in the branches where the young specialists will be engaged. 4. Because of their material situation practically all the senior students have paid employment outside the RTU.

RIGA TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF TRANSPORT AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The Department of Heat Power and Thermal Engineering Study program ``Heat and Power Engineering``
Response to remarks and recomendations of the report by Professor Arunas Lukosevicius, evaluation expert`s team leader
1. Response to the recommendations of the evaluation commission from 2006.05.15-16 and particular stress on the below problems.
The response to the questions and mentioned drawbacks are given in the 2008 self-evaluation report. As a matter of fact the opinions of the 2006 accreditation evaluation commission were taken in account and implemented in all possible ways. Some of the 2006 proposals are still actual for the department.
The most important drawback mentioned in the 2006 accreditation are: 1.1. The ageing problem of the academic staff of the department – in 2006 the average age
of the staff was higher then 60 years. At the end of 2008 the situation got better as the average age of the personnel was raised up to 54 years. The work with the staff is purposefully continued (NB – 3 point of the report).
1.2. The advice to increase the amount practical and laboratory works in the program: from 2006 more then 40000 LVL were spend on laboratory units and equipment, as well as improvements were made in the actual works.
1.3. The drawback about obsolete literature, as well as literature written in Russian. In the list of advisable literature only specialized literature was mentioned, which can be found in the library of the department, by tutors individually, or definitely offered by the RTU STL. From 2006 lots of new books written in English were bought by the department for the most of specialized subjects (more then 40 titles). The personnel of the department has prepared and published more then 20 lecture conspectus and methodological materials (the list is given in the self-evaluation report as 9th table). A new students book was published: Nagla J., SaveĜjevs P., Turlajs D. Siltumenerăētikas teorētiskie pamati. Rīga, 2008, 194 lpp., circulation 2000 ex.
1.4. Progressive teaching methods and quality control - from 2006 the most part of the department personnel (D.Turlajs, D.Rusovs, V.Grivcovs, S.Jaundālders, A.Cars) has gone trough courses and obtained certificates from ESF and RTU program on the e-studies for academic staff(D.Rusovs, S.Jaundālders, A.Cars), from the Industrial Quality Institute courses sponsored by the ESF on ``Studiju kvalitātes pilnveide`` (“Perfection of quality of studies”) (D.Rusovs, V.Grivcovs), D.Turlajs, I. ŠaraĦina – went trough a course of 72 hours on “Cooling technologies” at the State University of Low Temperature and Food Technologies in Saint-Petersburg.
New teaching methods are introduced: e-studies in the ORTUS environment and “Balckboard”, all students have the possibility to freely enter Internet, materials can be obtained both electronically and as a paper version. New software is introduced: PINCH, MESAP, licensed AutoCAD 9 for 9 computers, etc. New technical equipment: interactive blackboard (SAHARA 72, “Clever Products” (GBR) with MIMIO and Lynx 3 software).
To control the study process regular questionnaires are given among the students, the analysis of the marks and results is done. The work of the curator is once again introduced in the everyday life of the students (teachers look after and control a particular group of students).
2. More practical labs at the university, also better use of practices in order to get real teaching benefits from them.
86
The work on the development of the laboratories is consistently made. From 2006 were completed refurbishment works in laboratories under the numbers 019, 206, 207 at Ezermalas street 6. The communications, electricity supply was renewed and refurbishment was made. New units were bought and installed: for “Heat transfer” and “Thermodynamics” courses (P.A.HILTON Ltd (GRB) unit H655 „Boiling Heat Transfer Unit”, P.A.HILTON Ltd unit H111 ``Heat Transfer Service Unit” for the total sum of 22 000 LVL. The units are universal, offer configuration options, data logging possibilities and computer output facilities. Another laboratory devices and measuring equipment there were bought also (see Table 1, self-evaluation report 2008), renovation and updating of elder and some time unused laboratory stands are going also. In soonest time HPTE department will introduce one more circulation pump with pressure transmitters in laboratory of fluid mechanics. As a result, there will be possibility to realize approximately 20 laboratory works in study subjects ``Fluid mechanics``, Pumps and compressors``, Heat energy carriers``. Multifunctional gas analyzers Greenline 8000 and TESTO-33, as well as various kinds of infrared thermovisors (more expensive and complicated – in cooperation with Institute of Physical Energetics of Latvia), industrial and individually designed gas burners, VIESSMANN company controllers of water heating boilers are used in courses of thermal measurements, fuel technologies, ecology. Simulation of heat transfer and combustion processes often are carried out together with Faculty of Physics and Mathematic and Institute of Physics of Latvia University using theirs expensive software and technical equipment. Riga Thermal Power station TEC-1 site (located near faculty building) and technology program students are using in study subjects connected with boilers design and boilers houses equipment, as well as water treatment chemistry. Holographic interferometer with He-Ne Laser (producer MellesGriot, USA) and various data and image recording methods more widely will be used in several courses: heat transfer, thermal physics, and scientific research projects. Laboratory and practical works basis have to be prepared in nearest 2 years for alternative energy sources: fuel cells, solar panels and accumulators, mini and micro cogeneration and trigeneration with renewable biofuels. Regarding practices: there were made certain activities to improve program of practice, agreements and contacts with enterprises, students reports etc. Supervisors from department are visiting students at the site in the enterprise of practice to get better mutual contacts. Every student is getting own special individual task for more detailed and preciously investigation of given problem. Students’ reports are defended in departments committee, at least 3 teachers, and are scored by mark. 3. Solving the ageing problem, shifting the leadership and responsibilities to the younger
staff, at the same time keeping continuity and existing competences.
The ageing problem of the department is still very actual. In 2006 the average age of the personnel was higher then 60 years, bet nowadays it decreased till 51-54 years. Teaching, involving, preparing new young and perspective people for pedagogical and scientific work, would decrease the average age of the department in the next 2-3 years up to 47 years. The doctoral work of Sergejs Vostrikovs will be defended in April 2009. The doctoral studies move towards an end for Āris Žigurs, who definitely will successfully defend his work. As a perspective one Aivars Cers is considered as a very perspective doctoral student. Definitely in the further work on the ageing problem the experience in teaching and research of elderly teachers will be accumulated and used.

4. Better collaboration with other programs institutes and faculties (especially civil engineering, power) with the aim to use the great potential of RTU for the program.
We totally agree with the experts on the matters of a tighter and more diversified cooperation. The students of the first two study years receive their lectures form the other RTU departments and institutes in agreed order.
The staff of the department presents several subjects to the students of other departments and institutes of the university. Such are, for example, D.Rusovs, M.Valpēteris, N.ZeltiĦs, A. Cars, who read their lectures at the Mechanics Institute, Railroad Transport Institute, for Civil Construction Faculty students. At the same time some subjects to the students of the Department of Heat and Power Engineering are lectured by personnel from other RTU structural units. The academic staff of the department takes lead of the preparation of bachelors’ and masters’ final works. It is possible for tutors from other structural units to take lead of any kind of final work.
5. Consider the integration of bachelor (and probably master) program with “Heat gas
and water technology” program into one program with specialization possibilities towards energy production and distribution. (The latter could be at master program level). Outline the way of holistic education of students towards integral state problem in heat and power production, distribution, saving, alternatives, ecology and economy.
Cooperation between study programs “Heat, Power and Thermal Engineering”` and “Heat gas and water technology” (Head prof. A.KrēsliĦš) has a quite long history both in pedagogical and scientific research areas. The first steps of program integration are already done: we had a number of teachers who deliver lectures and practical works to both specialties. An example, study subject “Heating, ventilation and air conditioning” for our students is handled by staff of “Heat gas and water technology” program (J.Vrublevskis). Staff of Heat and Power department is taking care regarding study subjects ``Technical thermodynamics`` and ``Refrigeration systems``. Full integration of both programs seems problematic at nearest time due to specification of each branch. “Heat gas and water technology” program is more tended to inside area air, gas supply and heating systems, while for program “Heat, Power and Thermal Engineering” the main subject is thermal energy production systems and delivery of energy to end-user. Traditionally thermal sciences are one of the parts of Mechanical Engineering faculties of the leading technical universities. In any way, we hope to improve the cooperation and further integration in any possible area. 6. Research output should cover wider program issues and staff should be involved in wider international community, national and EU committees. Improve international collaboration and participation in international projects.
The main part of our self evaluation report may have given no enough information regarding activities of staff members in different international programs and projects. More information can be found in CV of staff members. Below you will find the main projects, where staff members’ takes part as leaders or members of project groups, years 2006-2008: 6.1.

Part of the projects was finished in 2008. There will be problems with financing for every level of projects and programs. At this time there is going preparation of proposal for ESF program “Human resources and employment”. One more question we are paying attention is transferring of senior projects leaders experience and knowledge to younger members of department. At the same time, more attention will be devoted to local market tended programs and projects. 7. Improve the program management; make the program quality assurance and planning of improvements as a continuing activity of the staff.
Program quality, management and planning of improvements in study program in any way are the main task of Department’s staff. There are only few ways we could go. The first is qualification and professionalism of academic staff members (tendencies and methods partially are explained in points 1, 3,6 of the given report, as well in self- assessment 2008). The second is communication with students, contacts with students’ parliament, and dean’s office secretary responsible for students. From year 2007/2008 we have had introduced again students groups supervisor’s duty (curator): one of staff member is an adviser of students and takes care regarding the study process, their scores and success in study subjects, as well as mutual communication in civil life as far it is possible. Big advertising job (visits to schools and colleges, articles in newspapers and magazines, advertisement in specialized catalogues of universities and colleges, advertising clips on TV, taking part in the RTU open-doors projects, taking part at educational exhibitions) was done and will be done in future for involvement of well skilled secondary school graduates with good knowledge of mathematic, physics, chemistry. Strengthening the contacts with industry, local and foreign scientific and academic organizations will be carried out for teaching process improvement, students and specialists
89
exchange etc. Response to comments of Professor Māris Ėirsis and Professor Jevgenijs Kopitovs The main points of professors M.Ėirsis and J.Kopitovs are similar or very close to items above, which were pointed out by professor A. Lukosevicius, so we will not return to these themes once more.
The following proposal of Prof. M.Ėirsis: `` Joining in one course three small separate and similar courses (Basics of Occupational Safety-1CP, General and Occupational Safety-1CP, Civil Defence-1CP) for Bachelor studies on the University level`` is actual and we have to discuss that in our department in soonest time. Partially that proposal in essence is similar to professor`s J. Kopitov suggestion regarding larger study course modules (4 or more CP) introduced in study program.
In general, we agree with remarks of experts conclusions and will take them into consideration in future activities. Mācību prorektors _________________ Profesors Dr. sc. ing. (paraksts) Uldis Sukovskis

RIGA TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY
FACULTY OF TRANSPORT AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
The Department of Heat Power and Thermal Engineering
Study program ``Heat and Power Engineering``
The Plan of Development of the Program
Taking in account the growing demand on heat power and thermal engineering specialists, there is a necessity to increase the amount of budgetary places of the program up to 25 places for the bachelor studies program and up to 15 for the master studies program pro year. It is already proven that AS “Rīgas Siltums” needs 5-7 specialists each year, the same amount is demanded by AS „Latvenergo”, also specialists will enter middle and small scale enterprises. If in 2-3 years time the financial situation of the country stabilizes and will show positive progress, we would like to form the Institute of Energy Resources and Heat Power on the basis of the existing department.
Structural Units Institute of Energy Resources and Heat Power including:
• Heat and Power Engineering Department with following laboratories: 1. Laboratory of Thermodynamics. 2. Laboratory of Heat Transfer Process 3. Laboratory of Heat and Combustion Research
• Unconventional and Nuclear Energy Department 1. Laboratory of Unconventional and Renewable Energy Research 2. Laboratory of Nuclear Energy
Supply of the Laboratories To create such an institute we plan the following development of the laboratory material base:
1. To provide units for further research of combustion processes for the Laboratory of Combustion Process Research:
• Units to complete research on combustion heat of gaseous and liquid fuels. • Units to complete research on combustion heat of solid fuels.
• Units to complete research on combustion waste products, flue gases and possible optimization of the process.
2. To provide units for the Laboratory of Heat Transfer Process:
• Units to complete research on heat transfer of granular materials. • Units of horizontal and vertical heat pipes (tubes) for research on the heat
transfer coefficient.
• Units to complete research on the heat transfer coefficient of construction insulation materials.
3. The creation of a new laboratory with the aim to make research on alternative and renewable energy sources – Laboratory of Unconventional and renewable Energy Research:
• The models and simulation programs of biomass cogeneration and trigeneration plants.
• The units of photovoltaic elements and solar batteries. • The unit of an operation-ready fuel cell.
91
For example a stand we need would match the following conditions: Fluid mechanics test bench:
• Liquid flow in pipes investigation, pressure drop and head loss. • Closed liquid circulation loop include 4 or 5 parallel branch with diameter 32-50 mm. • Each branch should include control valve, flow meter (electric type0 and pressure drop
transmitters (connection). • Test bench should include one set for pressure drop measurement. One of control
valve should be connected with electrical activator (power supply 240/380 V and control signal 4-20 mA).
• Each branch should include shut off valve. • Liquid circulation should be provided by pump with frequency convertor control.
Circulation loop will include expansion tank. • All control valves had to have equal percentage characteristic and manufacturer
certificate of conformity.
The Provisional Amount of Students and Academic Staff Provisionally we will be able to reach the following amount of students during the next 6 years. The enrolment forecast in given in tables 1.1. and 1.2.

Other Activities
Also we would like to offer students active international cooperation and participation in international organisations. Such would be - International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE) http://www.iaee.org/en/index.aspx Local affiliates of the IAEE actively support their students by providing additional services and organising special events (e.g. local student conferences). Active student chapters exist in the European countries. The IAEE encourages active student involvement with their local affiliates. Particularly, the IAEE encourages students to take a leading role in organising student activities, to help increase student participation and membership to their local affiliate and to the IAEE. Students taking this role will gain tremendous experience and will have invaluable networking opportunities. Main proposal: To create SESI (RTU) student chapter of Latvian IAEE affiliate. As well as this, we would like to expand our scientific publication areas. We would like to take the opportunity in cease of Magazine “Enerăia un Pasaule” (Energy and World) to publish MSc. and Ph D. theses, to offer students under the lead of academic personnel to write articles for this and other magazines, for example “Enerăija un Automatizācija” (Energy and Automation).
