POWER ENGINEERING FACULTY
Introduction
Power engineering forms a solid foundation for other industries and characterizes the dynamism and level of their development, so it is impossible to overestimate its importance for the national economy. The power engineering faculty of Novosibirsk State Technical University (NSTU) is an acknowledged innovator in the field of engineering education and has developed excellent curricula, hired first class academic staff and provided outstanding teaching and research facilities. Students are given relevant knowledge, are taught to think critically and be receptive to the rich array of ideas available in a diverse society. They are well prepared to creatively apply the latest engineering findings and new technologies to the turbulent demands of Russia’s economy. The Faculty offers a multi-level specialist education scheme which provides training at both associate, baccalaureate (undergraduate), postbaccalaureate (graduate) and professional diploma levels. The first four years of study at the Faculty are spent on earning the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in power engineering. Study toward the B.Sc. is referred to as being at the undergraduate level. The programme required for the Bachelor’s degree includes general education in engineering disciplines and a field of specialization usually called a major or core subject. Along with a major there may be a number of related areas of study referred to as minor subjects. Those areas in which students are permitted to select subjects of interest are referred to as elective courses. Research-oriented students holding the B.Sc. degree may undertake a two-year programme with emphasis on theoretical and applied research leading to the Master of Science (M.Sc.) degree in power engineering. Each student’s graduate programme is planned and tailored individually in conference with a major professor who guides the student throughout the graduate course. Most students major in a single area, usually in the same subject which the majored as undergraduates. The degree of M.Sc. is awarded to candidates who successfully complete the programme and pass examinations followed by the submission of a project report or thesis acceptable to the Board of Examiners. Another opportunity for professional career-oriented students is a 5.5 - year programme of study culminating in awarding the Diploma in power engineering. In addition, the Faculty offers an accelerated 4.5-year programme of study on a part-time basis leading to the award of the Diploma in power engineering to students having associate degrees earned at vocational or technical secondary schools. Graduates holding the M.Sc. degree or the Diploma in engineering wishing to follow a more scientific career may prefer to undertake a postgraduate (Doctoral) or Candidate of Sciences programme in the area of specialization. A degree on power engineering is a credential whose value can be measured directly in subsequent responsible job placement in business or industry, high starting salaries, promising career potential and entry into attractive career tracks.
Many of the teaching and research staff members working at the Faculty are known for their academic and scientific accomplishments. Their commitment to high quality of teaching is manifested through continuous improvement in areas such as teaching resources and staff qualifications, curricula, library and computer facilities. Qualified and competent professors (Doctors of Sciences), associate professors (Candidates of Sciences), assistant professors and instructors contribute to the education of students. Research and instruction at the Faculty is extremely well supported by a diversity of well-equipped instructional laboratories at the University and by specialized laboratories at related power engineering institutions. The Faculty computation facilities include computer classes equipped with personal computers having an access to the Internet and printers. The library provides a full range of services, both internally and via the University computer network.
Structure of Course
Training comprises formal lectures, tutorials, seminars, practical work in laboratory, private study and an individual research project culminating in a thesis. There are full-time and part-time programmes. Some programmes are funded from Federal Government budget, that is tuition is free for students, while others are sponsored either by students themselves, their parents and other private individuals or industrial organizations on a contract basis.
The Power Engineering Faculty offers students an array of programmes licensed by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation:
1. Power engineering economics and management.
2. Heat power plants.
3. Electric power plants.
4. Electric power systems and networks.
5. Power supply.
6. High voltage electrical and power engineering.
7. Relay protection and automation of electric power systems.
