- designers of air-condition, heating, ventilation, gas supply and cooling systems and installations
- engineers in charge of maintenance and operation of energy systems
- experts and coordinators of projects related to energy effectiveness and renewable energy sources.
Academic training in the degree course of Heating, Ventilation and Air-condition Equipment is carried out in conformity with the B. Sc. degree curriculum. Successful course graduates are eligible for studies in Master's and Ph.D. degree courses.
A
cademic training is set on solid scientific, theoretical and practical basis. The first four semesters include studies of general disciplines which are compulsory for any engineering expert: Calculus, Physics, Informatics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Materials Science, Machine Parts, Strength of materials, Thermodynamics plus two language modules and a number of humanitarian disciplines.
Disciplines studied in the V , VI, VII and VIII semester include Applied Hydrodynamics, Constructive and Thermo-technical Characteristics of Buildings, Heat and Gas Supply, Gas Equipment, Cooling Equipment, Industrial Ventilation and Dust Catching. All these prepare undergraduates to reach the standards of training required by the B. Sc. degree level. Training concludes with diploma project during the last semester of studies.
