Energetics and Process Engineering

The study program of master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering belongs to the domain of engineering sciences and technology, and falls under the scientific and professional field of Mechanical Engineering. The study program lasts for 1 year, i.e. 2 semesters, and is equivalent to 60 ECTS credits.

The study program of master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering comprises core and elective courses, whose completion provides the necessary academic knowledge and skills for acquiring the professional degree of Master in Mechanical Engineering – Energetics and Process Engineering. This degree corresponds to the degree of Master of Science (M.Sc.), awarded by foreign higher education institutions.

The study program of master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering, which admits the maximum of 24 students, contains 3 core courses, compulsory professional practice M, 4 elective courses (selected by a student from the available elective blocks) and the master’s thesis.

The total involvement of students in completing the master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering consists of active teaching (lectures, tutorials, other forms of active teaching), independent work, mid-term tests, exams and professional practice.

The purpose of the study program of master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering lies, above all, in acquiring interdisciplinary knowledge in the fields of thermal engineering, thermoenergetics, process engineering and hydraulic engineering, with the aim of training students to carry out operative, production and developmental tasks which exceed the knowledge of narrowly specialized engineering fields, as well as to broaden their academic knowledge and skills acquired at the undergraduate level of studies.

The study program of master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering educates students to be able to conduct scientific research, design, exploitation and development of various devices, machines, equipment and plants within the field of energetics and process engineering.

The basic aim of the study program of master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering is to introduce students to theoretical and practical working principles, methods of computation, design, and exploitation of modern facilities within the areas of: thermoenergetics (processes and facilities for transformation of primary thermal energy into other forms of energy, cogeneration, thermal power plants, research and development of alternative energy sources, rational energy consumption, etc.), hydraulic engineering (design of systems of oil hydraulics and pneumatics, hydraulic and pneumatic transport, pumps and pumping stations, small hydro power plants and wind turbines), thermal engineering (heat and mass transfer of single- and multiphase flows, district heating, refrigeration, plants and devices for air-conditioning and ventilation, etc.), and process engineering (filtration systems and devices, multiphase flows, solid waste management and other process industry devices).

By completing the core curriculum of the study program of master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering, students acquire fundamental knowledge in the following fields: thermal engineering, thermoenergetics, process engineering and hydraulic engineering.

By completing the elective curriculum of the study program of master academic studies in Energetics and Process Engineering, students acquire basic and professionally applicative knowledge and skills in the following fields: air conditioning and ventilation, refrigeration devices, district heating, cogeneration, thermal power plants, filtration, multiphase flow, solid waste management, design of systems of oil hydraulics and pneumatics, hydraulic and pneumatic transport, pumps and pumping stations, small hydro power plants and wind turbines.
