7.1. Aims and objectives of the programme
In order to start Bachelor studies a general secondary education or secondary
professional education in Electrical Engineering are necessary.
THE MAIN AIM OF BACHELOR STUDIES IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS
WITH THE FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRICAL AND POWER
ENGINEERING ACADEMIC EDUCATION IN THE FIELD OF
COMPUTERISED CONTROL OF ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGIES AND TO
PREPARE THEM FOR THE FURTHER ENGINEER OR MASTER STUDIES
AS WELL AS TO GIVE NECESSARY SKILLS TO START PRACTICAL
WORK.
The main objectives of Bachelor studies:
1 – to deepen knowledge in mathematics and physics for solving tasks in
Electrical Engineering;
2 – to teach to use skilfully and effectively computer technologies to solve tasks as
well as for devices of automatic control;
3 – to train skills in solving electrical engineering tasks;
4 – to give a conception on the formation of electrical engineering devices, basics
of their operation and automatic control;
5 – to give a conception on aspects of Power Engineering;
6 – to give a conception and knowledge in working organisation, social and
economical operational principles;
7 – to increase knowledge of foreign languages.
Finishing bachelor studies a student gets an academic degree of Bachelor in
Electrical Engineering science, which allows continuation studies in all RTU
programmes connected with Electric and Power Engineering.
7.2. Organization of the educational programme
Bachelor educational programme EBO0 “Computerised control of electrical
technologies” (CCET) was carried out by the decision of RTU Senate on the 28th of
February in year 2000 (Supplement BP1) and confirmed by RTU Senate on the 25th
of April in 2000. In fact studies in this programme have been started in academic year
2000/2001 in the groups of the third year students and this programme is joined as
supplement BP2. Till this time Bachelor studies in the three directions of this
programme – Power Electronics, Electrical Drives and Electronic Devices – were
realized according to the common Bachelor educational programme “Electrical and
Power Engineering”, accredited in 2001.
The direct acceptance of the first year students for this Bachelor educational
programme was in the academic year 2002/2003. In 2002 due to the changes defined
by RTU Senate in Bachelor educational structure (Supplement BP3), the programme
of 2000 have been partially transformed as follows:
- the volume of credit points of Bachelor’s work was increased to 10 CP,
- the volume of professional subjects of compulsory choice was increased to 13
CP,
- the volume of subjects of free choice was decreased to 5CP.
These changes in the programme “Computerised control of electrical
technologies” were accepted at RTU Senate meeting on the 29th of April 2002. The
programme changed in this way has been promoted for the accreditation in 2002
(Supplement BP4 and translated version attached to this paper) and has been
accredited on the 7th of July 2002 for 2 years up to the 31st of December 2004
(Supplement BP5).
The educational programme is realized at RTU at Electrical and Power
Engineering faculty (EPEF), where Institute of Industrial Electronics and Electrical
Engineering IEEI is responsible for it and the director of this institute is also the head
of the educational programme. The department (chair) of Industrial Electronics and
Electrical Technologies organized in 2003 and being a part of IEEI provides direct
teaching this programme.
The studying plans of educational programme “Computerised Control of
Electrical Technologies” (Supplement BP6) correspond to the aims and objectives of
IEEI, i.e., to the automatization of electrical engineering objects, with the use of
modern elements and systems of automatization.
7.3. Practical realization of the educational programme
Bachelor educational programme “Computerised Control of Electrical
Technologies” (Supplement BP4) contains the following subjects divisions:
A – compulsory subjects of 85CP volume;
B – subjects of compulsory choice of 20CP volume,
including
B1 – special professional subjects of 13CP volume,
B2 – humanitarian and social subjects of 4CP volume,
B3 – languages of 3 CP volume,
C – free choice subjects of 5 CP volume,
E – final assessment (Bachelor’s thesis) of 10 CP volume.
The common volume of Bachelor studies is 120 CP, which is realized during three
full years of studies. Two terms and 32 educational weeks of 40 CP are foreseen every
year with the total number of academic hours 1,760 (academics hours for the writing
of Bachelor thesis are not foreseen).
The general description of the studies distribution is given in table 1.

As we can see the weight of the compulsory subjects (70.4%) is the most
important, the weight of the choice subjects (20.2%) is also large enough, that allows
to master effectively special professional subjects.
Studies foresee to carry out lectures, practical classes and laboratories.
Distribution of the academic hours according to their types is given in table 2, which
is performed in correspondence with real studying plans (Supplement BP6).

As we can see the real number of academic hours is only 1,760, because for
Bachelor’s thesis of 10CP volume academic hours are not foreseen. The weight of
lecture hours is 60% and lectures are the most important type of studies. 336
academic hours are taken for laboratories (or 17.5%). The volume of practical classes
is less, containing 14% from the total volume.
If we look at the subjects’ distribution in the groups we can see that the most
important are those from A group of the volume of 1,360 academic hours (70.8%).
320 academic hours or 16.5% are taken for all the subjects of compulsory choice.
Such principle of studies organization is acceptable for Bachelor studies, because
Bachelors students should study mostly compulsory subjects.
Also in A group of subjects the weight of lectures is the most important (864
from 1,360 academic hours). 208 hours are chosen for practical classes, but 288 for
laboratories.
7.3.1. Description of educational subjects
Bachelor studies are foreseen to increase and enforce knowledge in general
technical subjects, which are necessary to master electrical engineering science, as
well as to get knowledge in basic subjects of electrical engineering, which allows to
consider a person obtained Bachelor degree as an educated in Electrical Engineering.
To make comparison it is necessary to distribute all foreseen subjects in
groups. The following distribution could be assumed:
VEP – general basic subjects in natural science;
TP – technical subjects;
ETP – subjects in electrical engineering;
HP – humanitarian subjects;
VA – languages.
Distribution of the subjects in groups is given in table 3, which also estimates
a group’s weight in credit points.

As we can see from table 3 there is a large weight of electrical technical
subjects in the Bachelor programme (42%), that allows really to see, that people
obtained Bachelor degree are trained sufficiently to perform general electrical
engineering tasks of state’s economy , i.e., they correspond to main requirements of
Bologna declaration for “undergraduate” educational level.
Expanded descriptions of all programme’s subjects are given in Supplement
BP7 and attached in translated version to this paper also.
During the Bachelor educational period the programme foresees 11 study
projects to be elaborated, 22 exams and 24 tests to be passed. Distribution of the
exams, tests and study projects performances in semesters is given in table 4.

As we can see the distribution of exams in semesters is regular, excluding the
6 semester when it is necessary to concentrate on elaborating and defending of
Bachelor’s thesis. In relation with the Bachelor’s thesis performance, studies are not
foreseen during the last semester.
If to evaluate the distribution of exams, tests and projects in the groups of
subjects, mainly they are foreseen for the groups of compulsory subjects.
Study projects are foreseen for the following subjects:
1. Computer studies II (special course)
2. Electrical measurement
3. Electrical engineering theory
4. Electronic Devices
5. Circuit theory
6. Electrical machines
7. Theoretical basis of electrical drives
8. Electric supply
9. Programming languages
10. Programming technology
11. Electrical technology equipment
th
Description of all study projects is given in Supplementary BP8. Analysing the
description of the subjects (Supplementary BP7 and BP8 as also translations attached)
we can ascertain that any repetition of content for all subjects in time-table is not
recognised. The time-table corresponds to nowadays requirements for a time-table of
such field of studies. Scientific and practical aspects of modern technologies are
considered in special professional subjects.
As we can conclude from studying plans and table 3 during the time of studies
10CP (or 8.8% from the whole volume) are taken for humanitarian, economic and
social subjects, which is a good index in the area of technical education.
7.3.2. Comparison of international Bachelor programmes
The comparison of the Bachelor educational programmes is carried out
with Electrical Engineering educational programme of Helsinki University of
Technology (HUT), Budapest Technical University (BTU) and Stockholm Royal
Institute (KTH) of Technology.
Note that in Helsinki as well as in Budapest there are 4 years of Bachelor
education, but in KTH Bachelor education is not foreseen at all, however there are
civil engineering studies where general fundamental subjects are taught during the
first two years. Adding to this part the subjects from the 3rd year, these studies could
be compared to RTU 3 years of Bachelor education.
In HUT as well as in BTU in order to obtain Bachelor degree the studies are
foreseen in the volume of 160 CP or 40 CP per year. In RTU like in HUT and BTU
practically the same subjects are taught and that means in HUT and BTU in many
cases they are taught extended.
Distribution of Bachelor educational compared programmes of RTU, HUT,
BTU and KTH in groups of subjects is given in table 5. In supplement BP9 there are
connected the copies of Bachelor study plans in electrical engineering field of HUT
and BTU and as well copies of study description of the KTH.

As we can see in KTH there is less number of subjects than in other higher
schools (12 subjects), but its weight of credit points is significant. Thus the weight of
mathematics reaches 30% from the total volume, but electrical engineering – to 15 %.
Programme of BTU is similar to RTU one, although in this programme is significant
weight of credit points for mathematics too (16%) and, particularly, for electronics
also (22%).
In respect to subjects in electronics, in RTU programme “Computerised
control of Electrical Technology” its weight in CP is small (7CP or 16% in volume).
There are a lot of subjects with small weight in RTU programme which could be
jointed into groups of subjects with larger weight. Distribution of subjects groups of
the compared higher schools is given in table 6.

Information about BTU was obtained from the programme of the number of
academic hours, taking into account the given total number of credit points (160 CP).
As we can see in general the RTU programme in some particular groups of
subjects corresponds well enough to the programmes of the compared higher schools.
If humanitarian subjects are not taught (the question is still under discussion) then
VEP group could be enforced a little as well as TP group which are weaker than in
higher schools abroad.
7.4. Evaluation system of the studies
Studies in a subject are evaluated by a lecturer responsible for this subject, in the
kind of exam or test, with the use of 10 point scale with the least successful mark of
the 4 points. Students projects are included into academic plans and marked with
letter D, student defend them and a teacher evaluates it with a mark.
Defending of a qualification work – Bachelor’s thesis – is public, but it is
evaluated by a commission of at least 3 professors, assigned by EPEF Dean. The
volume of Bachelor’s thesis is approximately 50 computer pages realized in interval
1.5 lines with schemes and figures and descriptions . Each Bachelor’s thesis should be
evaluated by an opponent.
A student defending bachelor’s thesis also answers questions asked by
commission members on theoretical and practical aspects of electrical engineering
science, because the mark for bachelor’s thesis is based on the evaluation of general
knowledge and skills.
In accordance with the resolution of RTU Senate 29th of January 2001 “About
transition to the common evaluation system of studies results” the Senate’s resolution
25.06.2001 defines the following criteria for evaluation of knowledge and skills in a
particular educational subject:
“outstanding” (10) – knowledge exceeds requirements of the programme in subject,
give evidence of the ability to perform an independent investigation and deep
understanding of a question;
“excellent” (9) – the programme in subject is fully mastered, the skills for
independent application of the knowledge are obtained;
“very good” (8) – the programme in subject is fully mastered, but in some questions
the understanding is not deep enough to apply knowledge for independent solving of
more complicated problems;
“good” (7) – in general the obtained knowledge is at the required level of the
programme, but there are difficulties with solving some practical problems and lack
of understanding of some insignificant questions;
“almost good” (6) – in general the programme in subject is mastered, but sometimes a
poor understanding of some significant questions is noticeable and the are partial
difficulties with practical application of obtained knowledge;
“satisfactory” (5) – in general the programme in subject is mastered, although there is
an insufficient understanding of many important questions as well as difficulties with
practical application of obtained knowledge are noticeable;
“almost satisfactory” (4) - in general the programme in subject is mastered, although
there is an insufficient understanding of some fundamentals and noticeable difficulties
in application of the obtained knowledge in practice;
“poor” (3) – knowledge is general and incomplete, student can not apply it in
particular situations;
“very poor” (2) – there is general knowledge in separate questions, the most part of
subject is not mastered;
“very very poor” (1) – there is totally no understanding and knowledge in
fundamentals of subject.
Mark “almost satisfactory” (4) is a lower satisfactory mark.
7.5. Students
7.5.1. Number of students in the programme
The number of students in the programme “Computerised Control of Electric
Technologies” after the accreditation in 2002/2003 was 64 students. In 2003/2004 the
general number of the students at day department is 80 people. In 2004/2005 90
students will be at day department. Thus now in general 80 people study at the
Bachelor academic course.
7.5.2. Number of students entered the 1st year
Starting with 2002 RTU accepting will be directly for the programme and 34
Bachelor students are accepted to the programme “Computerised Control of Electric
Technologies”. Starting with 2003 the strict norms were defined for the number of
budget places thus 30 students were accepted at day department and 33 students – at
night and correspondent department.
7.5.3. Number of graduates
As programme “Computerised Control of Electric Technologies” is new the number
of graduates is not large:
2001
11 bachelors,
2002
15 bachelors.
After accreditation in 2003 14 graduates got diplomas. The same number of
graduates is expected in 2004. And only with 2005 the number of graduates will
increase up to 30…40 people per year, as night and correspondent students started the
studies.
7.5.4. Questioning of students and analysis of their answers
Short conclusions on the questioning of students
(Bachelor programme, 1st and 3d year)
Totally there are considered 59 questionnaires. Analysis of the answers is given in the
order of questions.
2. Answering to the question of what defined the choice of an educational
programme, most of the students (95%) chose a simple answer “ possibility to get
higher education”. More than a half of them chose the answers “possibility to
perform a well paid job in future”, “better outlook at the labour market in future”
and “ better possibility of professional carrier in future”. Note there is a small
difference among these variants, thus there are doubts weather they should be
formulated in that way. An assumption that a speciality where a friend entered is
decline clearly.
5. After obtaining Bachelor degree most part of the respondents (85%) are ready
to continue studies at the professional programme. Academic studies were chosen
by less respondents of this question.
6., 7. 56% of the respondents have already chosen one of 18 offered by RTU
fundamental educational programmes. Those who have not made a choice noted
that they still have time for it. At the same time there is not enough information
about the programmes.
8. Difficulties at the beginning of the studies are mainly connected with differences
in organisations of educational processes, comparing with lack of information.
Respondents partly defined also too high requirements of the lecturers, unkind and
formal attitude, as well as poor level of their previous knowledge.
11. Reasons of non-attendance of classes are illness and work.
12. As the most difficult subjects the following are defined more often: Electrical
systems (19 forms), Basics of Electrical Engineering (15), Mathematics (14),
Electric Technology and Basics of Electric Supply (10), Control Systems in power
engineering and transport (9).
13. Complicated matters and absence of teachers’ ability to explain them cause
difficulties in studies.
14. Totally 33 lecturers with whom students want to continue their studies are
mentioned in the answers. Rozenkrons (16), Paperno (11), Ketners (10) are
mentioned more often.
15. There are mentioned 25 lecturers with whom students would not like to meet more
during the educational process. Gerhards (10 reizes), Obuševs (9), Ļevčenkovs
(7), Feldbergs (6) are mentioned here more often.
16. The most important living problems of the students are low scholarship (29),
small social activity (5), and expensive monthly tickets in comparison with
scholarship.
17. Relations among students are characterised as good, but relations between
students and teachers are formal and official.
Analysing answers to the questionnaire, it is obvious that in most cases they are
not strictly independently done, that reduces value of the questionnaire. Possible
answers variants are not marked for questions 8.7. therefore there is no answer to this
question in many forms. If starting this questioning of students, the processing of the
answers with computer was not foreseen then there is no possibility to find a
correlation and no reason in the 20th question – information about students. However
processing of answers manually nowadays is antiquated. For the following
questionnaires it is necessary to find a possibility to use modern sociological methods
for answers processing.
Analysing the results of the present questionnaire of the 3rd year Bachelor students
we can conclude that plans of studies are evaluated good, obtained theoretical
knowledge is good, practical knowledge and material supply are evaluated
satisfactory. Doc.E.Blumbergs, prof.J.Dirba, doc.J.Valeinis, prof.I.Rankis, prof.
L.Ribickis. were mentioned as the best teachers.
7.5.5. Questioning of graduates and analysis of the answers
A questioning of graduates of ETDV Bachelor studies was carried out; the forms of it
are enclosed in supplement BP10. 20 graduates were asked and they mentioned good
level of studies organisation in the programme, effective individual teaching, and high
requirements to the quality of bachelor thesis.
Main objections to the process of studies are the following:
1 - material supply is not good enough;
2 – the volume of credit points for fundamental electrical engineering subjects is not
enough:
3 – the weight of important subjects is much less;
4 – the weight of laboratory works is not enough;
5 – the familiarisation with real devices is not enough;
6 – classes take place in large groups and lecturers do not know names of the students;
7 – in the most important subjects students would like to perform practical tasks,
which enforce knowledge in the best way.
Some respondents expressed a willing to have classes in evenings already at the 3rd
year of Bachelor studies, because many of them are busy at work.
7.5.6. Involving the students into the educational process
In the educational process students generally are involved participating in the
elaboration of laboratory installations under the supervision of experienced teachers.
For example, under the supervision of docent I.Galkin students O.Krievs and
L.Bisenieks performed complete sets for logical micro schemes of microprocessors
and microcontrollers operation and programming. Under the supervision of professor
I.Rankis at the laboratory of Industrial Electronics the laboratory work of a thyristor
regulator and installations for rectifiers investigation have been elaborated with an
active participating of student V.Brazis. Docent E.Blumbergs with student A.Bikshis
made two laboratory installations with frequency converters in the laboratory of
Electronic devices. Student A.Vitols continues the work with the installation “Device
of power factor improvement”. Student M.Skerainis under the supervision of
prof.I.Rankis made a test bench for investigation of a transistor frequency converter.
7.6. Academic staff of the educational programme

In the teaching of fundamental technical, humanitarian, social, economical
subjects and languages 19 lecturers more take part, their CV are enclosed in
Supplement BP11.
Qualification of all academic staff corresponds to the aims and objectives of the
structural institution (IEEI) to perform CCET Bachelor Programme. Four of them are
advisors of LAS grant projects. Others are actively involved into performing grant
projects as well as into other research works in agreement in the area of automation of
electrical engineering devices.
IEEI specialists who are connected with Bachelor professional subjects, every
year realise investigations financed from state budget in volume of 8,000 Ls, as well
as they perform research in agreement in 15,000 Ls volume.
The main investigations are connected with elaboration of modern semiconductor
electronic converters. In the middle of a year 15 scientific articles are published with
involving students of the Bachelor programme into this work. Thus in 2001 Aivars
Vilks defended Bachelor’s thesis in investigation of semiconductors application and
for this work he obtained Latvenergo award. In 2002 Oskars Plataiskalns defended
thesis and got an award of Latvenergo for investigation of reactive power
compensation. He reported also on his investigations at the international conference in
May 2003 in Poland, Zelena Gura.
Three persons from the academic staff are 30 years old or younger, professor
L.Ribickis is 54. Admittance of young lecturers is foreseen. Thus IEEI engineer
Oskars Krievs in 2002 had a practice in Turin TU, where he performed scientific and
pedagogical work. In 2003/2004 O.Krievs teaches subject “Electronic Devices”
7.6.2. Qualification of the academic staff
In 2001/2002 IEEI elaborates 5 investigations of financial grants of Latvian
Academy of Science (LAS) with the total cost 8,500 Ls. The investigations deal with
a new type of semiconductor converters elaboration and have connections with
electrical technologies. Scientific advisers of the grants are as follows:
1 – grant 01.0636 – IEEI professor Jānis Greivulis,
2 – grant 01.0638 – IEEI professor Ivars Raņķis,
3 – grants 01.639 un 01.640 – IEEI professor Leinīds Ribickis,
4 – grant 01.645 – IEEI docent Anastāsija Žiravecka.
In addition with these grants there are carried out Latvian Energy Company
VAS Latvenergo financed investigations with the annual cost 15,000 Ls, which deal
with semiconductor pulse controlled systems and power transmission over single
wire.
The best students are involved in these investigations. For example in 2001
Bachelor student Aivars Vilks actively worked and got a reward of Latvenergo for
Bachelor’s work in the area of thyristor controlled reactors. Students Oskars Krievs,
Ainars Biksis, Oskars Plataiskalns Viktors Prikulis and other participants of the
Bachelor programme are also very active as well as many students of correspondence
department. In 2002 Oskars Plataiskalns got a Latvenergo award for the investigation
of reactive power compensation.
Scientific work of IEEI academic staff positively influences the realisation of
the educational programme, because it involves students into research as well as
provides studies with modern devices. Publications performed by IEEI staff during
the last 5 years are represented in Supplement BP12.
Approximately all defended IEEI Bachelor’s theses are parts of scientific works
and they are evaluated positively.
7.6.3. Policy of development, training and renovation of academic staff
During the process of the staff renovation for the positions of professors and
associated professors the persons with Doctor’s degree can be elected in accordance
with the law of higher schools. RTU docents and head scientists should have Doctor’s
degree. Docents (head scientists) are elected for 6 years at Council of Faculty by
recommendation of a correspondent institute. To teach subjects for professional
studies persons without scientific degree could be elected, but they should have at
least 10 years of practical working experience in a correspondent area.
RTU lecturers, researchers and assistants could be persons with Master’s and
Doctor’s academic degree. Lecturers and assistants are elected at Council of faculty
for 6 years.
A continuous programme of renovation of academic teaching staff of the Institute
of Industrial Electronics and Electrical Engineering is carried out. The stages of this
programme are: 1) choice of the best students and their joining to Doctoral Studies; 2)
election of docents at IEEI meetings; 3) election of docents at IEEI meetings after
thesis defending; 4) after 4-5 years of work at the position of a docent guiding a
person to the position of an associated professor. In May 2003 Dr.sc. I.Galkins was
elected for the position of an associated professor, but Dr.sc. A.Purvinsh was elected
for the position of a docent in January 2003. In the nearest future (2004) docents
A.Žiravecka, V.Hramcovs and A.Purviņsh are foreseen to be guided to positions of
associated professors. V.Bražis is foreseen to be docents.
7.7. Financial sources and provision
Financial sources are:
1 – state budget,
2 – LAS grants,
3 – means of agreement investigations.
State budget, which provides realisation of CCET programme at IEEI with salary
funds, is 25,000 Ls per year, therefore the average sum for one representative of the
academic staff involved into the Bachelor programme is 3,000 Ls. Except salary funds
state finances for infrastructure provision are foreseen, these finances contain 8,000
Ls in connection with realisation of CCET programme.
Total financial budget together with LAS grants and agreement financed works in
2001/2002 was 56,000 Ls.
Particular sources for infrastructures provision are contributions, provided by
operating in Latvia electrical engineering companies. These companies ABB,
Siemens, General Electric, EK-systems and others in 2001/2002 provided the
programme with modern frequency converters, controllers and other means of
electrical technology automation in the volume of 5,000 Ls
Special studies in CCET bachelor programme can be performed in EPEF rooms
belonged to IEEI, that is an area of approximately 450m2 . These rooms are occupied
with 5 laboratory installations as well as they can be used as lecture-rooms for 50
student places.
Permanent work is carried out to increase financial technical support. One of the
types of this support is obtaining modern literature. 2,000 Ls were given to get
foreign literature in 2001/2002. 10 text-books in Latvian were published by own
forces during the last year, these are synopses of lectures with the total number of
pages 1,000. The text-books were issued by RTU publishing board in 300-500 copies.
Financial support to IEEI for edition and publishing was given in volume of 3,000 Ls.
Publishing house “Avots” issued a book “Iekārtu vadības elektroniskie elementi un
mezgli” (Electronic Elements and Junctions for Control of Equipment), 268 pp.
written by I.Raņķis, and J.Greivulis in 1997, financed by Soross fund. A book by
I.Rankis “Power Electronics” (Energoelektronika) was published in 2003 especially
for the students of this programme.
During the last period of time in IEEI rooms for students of the Bachelor
programme 15 personal computers are installed, 5,000 Ls were given for this purpose
from the means of IEEI as well as 20 new laboratory installations for computerised
automation were performed.
7.8. External contacts
7.8.1. Contacts with employers
EEF IEEI graduates and students are necessary at the labour market. All graduates
of the Bachelor programme find work at undertaking and servicing enterprises such as
Riga trams and trolleys park, VAS Latvenergo, PU "Rīgas Ūdens", SIA EK Sistēmas,
SIA Arcus Elektronika, SIA VEF KT, SIA Energy Line, SIA ABB Latvia, SIA
Siemens Latvia, SIA Danfoss Latvia and others.
RTU EEF actively co-operates with LETERA (Latvian Association of Electrical
Engineering and Electronic Manufactures) and its enterprises. Professor L.Ribickis is
a member of LETERA head board. LETERA is responsible for standards
determination in the area of electric engineering and electronics.
There are reports of employers given in Supplement. LETERA continuously is
anxious about the lack of young specialists in the area of conputerised control of
electrical technologies. We should mention such enterprises like SIA EK Sistēmas,
VAS Latvenergo un SIA ABB Latvia which provided IEEI with means for
laboratories arrangement and modernization. Thus EK Systems already four years
running provides IEEI laboratories of industrial electronics with 5,000Ls annually.
SIA ABB Latvia has gifted modern textbooks and frequency converters for
modernization of laboratory class of electric drive control.
7.8.2. Co-operation with similar educational programmes in Latvia and
abroad
In Latvia there are similar programmes realised in LAE (Agriculture Academy)
and LMA (Maritime Academy), and IEEI academic staff successfully co-operates
with them. Thus I.Raņķis is also a LMA professor, but professor J.Greivulis cooperates with LAE as well as LMA academic staff, leading common scientific
projects.
In 2002 professor L.Ribickis is invited to give lectures in Tokyo Denki University
in Japan and Virje University in Brussels, Belgium, but professor I.Raņķis was invited
to Tallinn Technical University.
7.8.3. Academic staff working abroad
Professor Ivars Raņķis worked as a visiting lecturer abroad (Tallinn TU) in
2001/2002. Professor I.Raņķis also admitted qualification classes in Stockholm’s
KTH Power Electronics professor group. Professor L.Ribickis is Member of Board of
European PEMC (Power Electronic and Motion Control) and constantly maintain a
coordinating connections with specialists of this branch all over Europe. Professor
J.Greivulis co-operates with Kharkov State technological university.
7.8.4. Number of foreign visiting lecturers in the programme
In average two foreign visiting lecturers are invited each year. Thus in 2001
professor Francesko Profumo from Turine Technical university in Italy as well as
docent Juri Joller from Tallinn Technical university in Estonia and professor Shoji
Nishikata fron Tokyo Denki university in Japan gave lecturers at RTU EEF.
7.8.5. Students who study abroad for different educational programmes
Many students of CCET Bachelor programme have worked abroad during their
Bachelor studies (J.Berts in Turin, O.Krievs in Turin, M.Dumpis, A.Žurkovs,
T.Podiņš, M.Liepiņš, V.Pumpurs – in Stockholm’s KTH).
In 2001/2002 in RTU at the department of foreign students there was opened a
CCET Bachelor programme named as “Computerised Control of Electrical
technologies”, where at this moment Aymen Bass a student from Lebanon is studying.
Duration of the course is 3 years of full time studies.
Students of RTU EEF actively participate in international programmes of students
exchange SOCRATES, Swiss – Baltic Net etc.
8. Perspective evaluation and plan of development of the Bachelor
programme CCET
In bachelor educational programme “Computerised Control of Electrical
Technologies” students get special knowledge in electrical engineering as well as in
computer technique application in automation. Such specialists are necessary in
state’s economy because more technologies are supplied with modern information
devices that allow increasing of operation quality.
For the perspectives of the programme a large demand of specialists in this field
could be mentioned as well as good opinion from employers.
There are large and strong food production and textile manufacturing companies
in Latvia widely using computerised technologies, maintaining of which could
demand graduates of this programme.
Also electric engineering industry is gradually renewed in Latvia and its
production nowadays is directly connected with computerised control and application
of such a technique. Foreigner companies distributing their modern equipment and
technologies also willingly co-operate with graduates of this field because of their
well – motivated knowledge of modern technologies and good practical skills,
involving a language and computer ones.
The main directions of development of CCET Bachelor educational
programme are as follows:
1 – to improve technical base of laboratories, performing more works
connected with computers application for control of electrical technologies,
2 – to prepare and publish text-books in Latvian language for all specialised
study subjects,
3 – to involve gradually young lecturers into the work simultaneously
providing them with prospects of qualification improving and practice abroad,
4 – to enforce contacts with foreign higher schools in the area of similar
programmes,
5 – to continue educational plans optimisation , elaborating together with
other state universities a general European curriculum in this field,
6 – to provide Bachelor thesis publishing in RTU scientific-technical issues,
7 – to participate systematically in LAS and Latvenergo annual competitions
for best student works .
