Study programme aims and objectives

The aim of the curriculum is to prepare thermal energy engineers with master’s degree who will work as top specialists in the field of heat transfer into electricity, Show more...
energy use of the thermal units and in the field of fuels and fuel industry, environmental specialists and leaders in enterprises and public sector as well as in research institutions.

- To give comprehensive knowledge of processes and units related to mass and heat transfer and equipment.
- To enable to implement acquired skills and knowledge in the field of developing and operating devices using heat.
- To enable to implement acquired skills in heat, gas and district cooling supply.
- To create precondition to lead the teamwork of the projects related to thermal energy and energy technology.
- To form understanding of the problems in Estonian heat and gas energy sector and possible ways for solving them.
- To enable to implement acquired skills and knowledge for burning, pyrolysis and gasification of different types of fuel, using contemporary and nature- friendly technologies.
- To develop an idea of the interdisciplinarity of the science and develop the ability to use it in the speciality.
The curriculum creates preconditions of obtaining the professional qualification of the thermal energy engineer and continue in the doctoral studies.
