Introduction. Faculty of Material Science and Applied Chemistry

Faculty of Material Science and Applied Chemistry was founded in 1862. It has been a part of Riga Polytechnic School (1863-1896), Riga Polytechnical Institute (1896-1919 and 1958-1990), University of Latvia (1919-1944), State University of Latvia (1944-1958) and since 1990 - Riga Technical University.

More than century both chemistry research and chemical production have been situated at high level in Latvia. Several worldwide known chemists – such as Nobel Prize winner Wilhelm Ostvald, Paul Walden (mentioned almost in all textbooks on organic chemistry published throughout the world), a.o. - were founders of scientific traditions of chemistry in Riga, here they made important investigations and discoveries. Taking in account facts, that Latvia does not have abundance of natural resources, but at the same time has qualified specialists and high level of education, USSR built factories, which were not material assuming, but demanded high level research. Specialties of chemistry became very popular during sixties, when students had to pass strong competition to be enrolled in chemistry programs.

Faculty of Material Science and Applied Chemistry (FMSAC) of Riga Technical University is the only one education establishment in Latvia, training engineers in chemistry and chemical technology. In 2003/2004 studies year more then 500 students are studying here; 204 of them are enrolled in chemical engineering: 115 undergraduates, 38 students in professional engineers’ programs, 40 students in graduate programs, 11 postgraduates (scheme of studies programs see in figure 1).

Number of budget-financed positions for doctoral students within program “Chemical engineering” is very restricted (last years it does not exceed 3 postgraduates per year (see table 1)) and does not satisfy demand of educational system, research institutions and industry for specialists of this level. Enrollment is also restricted by the RTU regulation, that any Professor, supervisor of postgraduate, may not have more than 5 doctoral students (in foreign universities this number usually is 10-20).

Table 1. Matriculation in doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering” 1992-2003 years.

Due to the fact that enrollment to postgraduates studies at RTU during last years is competition based, knowledge and potential of candidates has grown up and chances of our graduates for state budget positions have grown up. Unfortunately, small part of enrolled postgraduates defends their thesis because larger salaries and possibilities for career (consistent with their knowledge and skills) are provided them from outside, comparing with University. During last 10 years postgraduate students did not seen possibility to earn at least the same salary working at RTU as their doctoral stipendiums and they loose motivation for further studies. From 38 doctoral students, which finished their studies during 1995 till 2003, 15 students have been discharged for backward, 1 was discharged according own wish; 15 completed only theoretical course and 8 students (21.05%) defended their doctoral thesis (see app. 10).

Stipendiums 58 Ls per month are granted to all successful students; besides that they can take studies credit (60 Ls/month), which can be paid off in case of successful and opportunely defended doctoral thesis. The best postgraduates can win special grants of LSC (Latvian Science Council) for doctoral students, which partially cover expenses for attendance of conferences abroad, overheads, reagents and other materials necessary for their work. Foreign Professors, who have accepted our students for studies and work at their universities, recognize, that our postgraduates are skilled in chemistry like students of the best foreign universities, but our students are often stronger in their narrow specialty.

Volume of studies programs at RTU is evaluated in credits (cr.). Total volume of credits per one studies year (2 semesters) of doctoral program in the case of full workload reaches 48 cr.; one month is envisaged for regular leave. Postgraduates can take no more than 2 academic leaves (length of one leave is one year). One credit corresponds to 16 (or less) contact hours of lectures or laboratories. Subjects are divided into compulsory and optional courses. The last might be elective (from the given list) or free choice subjects. Before new studies year students must register for elective and free choice subjects; every semester according nominal plan they have to receive at least 24 credits (for some semesters the correction ±2 credits is eligible).

A range of changes in studies program and process have been made during last years due to education policy of Latvia and decisions of RTU Senate: from 1999/2000 studies year, according regulations of Studies Department of RTU, amount of contact hours has been dramatically reduced; switch from oral to written examination forms took part – nevertheless, oral examinations are still applied in doctoral studies. Marking scale from 1 to 10 is used for evaluation; the last successful mark is “4”.

Self-government of students has been strengthened considerably in last 2 years; mainly undergraduate students actively participate in it, because students of higher courses are too busy trying to combine studies with job.

Chemical engineering studies programs are provided at almost all universities in the world. The previous period of our studies programs can be characterized with preparation of high-level specialists, good material and technical base. Problem of further development is unsatisfactory financing of higher education and research, which does not allow updating of equipment to level necessary for higher education. Illogical is calculation system of wages-fund at RTU, according which salaries of teachers are calculated proportionally to amount of students, which, of course, is small in doctoral program “Chemical engineering”, because optimal number of graduating doctors in this field per year would be about 15-20 new specialists for Latvia. Acquisition of such amount of highest-level specialists from abroad would cost much more than their education in Latvia. Besides that, it is unbelievable, that chemists, which are highly demanded in all economically developed countries, would be willing to receive average salary of Latvian chemists, which is about 10 times lower than in other countries. This high demand for specialists is expected to stay the same next 10 years, because sharp replacement of personnel generations in chemical industry, research and education due to retirement of older generation and absence of employees of middle age (30-50 years old).The fact, that salaries of academic staff are much more lower than those of officials and employees of companies, is the reason of escape of the most promising youth – future teachers and specialists - from the University. Positive moment, when the best students of Faculty take some period or next level of studies in Sweden, Finland, Spain, Germany, Switzerland and USA, is overweighed by the negative one – most of them are not going to return back and stay abroad for job at university or company.

FMSAC has both historically recognized worldwide known school of Latvian chemists and all necessary intellectual potential for realization of highest level studies in doctoral program “Chemical engineering”, as we have the most qualified staff comparing within University – 9 academicians of Latvian Academy of Sciences are working here and we have the largest number of state professors per one student.

1. Academic doctoral studies program

1.1. Aims and objectives

Studies at doctoral program are ruled by legislation of Cabinet of Ministers and RTU Senate (see app. 1, 12, 16). Aim of studies program is to provide highest qualification in chemical engineering corresponding to doctor’s degree (Dr.sc.ing.), as well as to prepare for pedagogical work. Aim of studies program is reached by fulfill of its objectives – doctoral students should master: fundamental sciences related to specialty; skill to formulate and to solve scientific and practical problems independently; ability to review and to analyze results of investigations; knack to organize and to supervise research work; proficiency and experience necessary for pedagogical work.

1.2. Description

Taking into account recommendations of accreditation commission and foreign experts of first accreditation of program (which took part in 2001), as well as Regulations of doctoral studies at RTU, doctoral program “Chemical engineering” has been improved and all changes have been accepted by RTU Senate in 2001 and 2004 (see app. 1). According demand of industry we have established the new specialty “Technology of organic compounds”, which will be opened for enrolment starting from 2004/2005 studies year.

“Regulations of doctoral studies at RTU” issued by Senate (30.10.2000.) establish length and structure of studies: length of full time doctoral studies is 3 years (144 cr.), one studies year has 52 weeks, 4 of them can be used for annual leave; studies can continue 5 years if 2 academic leaves are taken. Depending from chosen specialty postgraduates should pass 3-5 exams and tests corresponding to 42 cr. workload. Doctoral students have to pass pedagogical placement giving some lectures and working as teaching assistants in laboratories and seminars of undergraduate courses; minimal pedagogical workload should correspond to 4 credits.

Postgraduate should establish his individual plan (see app. 16) for every studies year, which envisages pedagogical practice and writing of publications, as well as preparing of dissertation; once in year after spring examination session student has to report about completion of this plan at Council of Faculty, which decides about attestation or discharge of student.

Doctoral studies program, content of compulsory subjects, submission and defense of dissertations are regulated by RTU Promotion Council P-02 (see app. 12, 16).

Short description of specialties of doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering”

3


Technology of organic compoundsStudies concern technology of biologically active compounds, wood chemistry and technology, technology of fuels. Knowledge and practical skills in technology of pharmaceutical substances and their drug forms, technology of chemical and microbiological synthesis of organic compounds essential for production of food, drugs, perfumery, cosmetics and other products are obtained.

Technology of polymer materials and composites Studies envisage preparation of wide profile specialists in branch of polymer materials, which could manage interconnections of structure and properties of polymer materials produced worldwide and processes of production of materials; which could experimentally evaluate quality of materials and carry out investigations necessary for creation of new materials. General studied subjects are: polymer composites and their production, synthetic polymers, such as binders, strings and adhesives, protective covering, recycling of polymer materials etc.

Chemistry and technology of silicate and high temperature materials Studies concerns material science, new high temperature technology, analyses and production of silicate materials (porcelain, glass, glass fibers, building ceramics, cement, ceramic tiles, optical fibers, glass-crystalline materials and enamels), quality control of production.

General chemical technology Training concerns general problems of chemical technology, new technologies, equipment, analyses of technological lines, management and automation of processes, quality assessment and assurance, application of computers; graduates might use this knowledge in different branches of industry.

Studies duration and volume Total volume of doctoral studies program at RTU is 144 cr. and duration is 3 years.

Volume and percentage of groups of subjectsArrangement of subjects’ groups is established by decision N#62 (18.06.99.) of

Council of Higher Education and “Regulations of doctoral studies at RTU” (accepted by Senate at 30.10.2000.)

Taking into account recommendations of foreign experts given during previous accreditation of program and “Regulations of doctoral studies at RTU” we have considerably changed arrangement of different parts of program: total volume of program is enlarged (from 120 cr. to 144 cr.), because postgraduates have only 4 weeks (per year) for holidays; volume of research work is increased (from 60 cr. to 102 cr.), while number and volume of subjects is decreased (from 60 cr. to 42 cr.). These 42 cr. are offered for compulsory subjects of program (15 cr., including 4 cr. for pedagogical practice) and optional subjects of specialty (15 cr.), 6 cr. are provided for subjects of free choice (previous program did not provide this opportunity) and 6 cr. (previously 5 cr.) are devoted to foreign languages (advice of accreditation experts to discharge languages from doctoral program we could not fulfill, because “Regulations of doctoral studies at RTU”).

List of doctoral subjects and their syllabuses are attached in appendices N#3 and N#4, studies plan – in app. N#2.

Doctor’s thesis

The degree Doctor of Science in Engineering (Dr. sc. ing.) is awarded after fulfillment of doctoral studies program and successful public defense of doctoral thesis (dissertation). Content of doctoral thesis and its’ evaluation criteria are established by State Scientific Qualification Commission (SSQC). Doctor’s degree can be awarded for particularly important, original, independent research, which can be evaluated as an essential contribution to the development of corresponding branch of science (see Regulations about awarding doctoral degree at RTU (app. 16, p.52)). Order and criteria of promotion are established by regulations developed by SSQC and accepted by Cabinet of Ministers of Latvia (6.04.1999). According these regulations, in order to submit dissertation for defense, results of investigations have to be published in at least 5 research articles in generally acknowledged reviewed scientific journals, which are included in the list of scientific editions, established by Latvian Science Council (LSC). Results of promotional work have to be reported on at least 2 international conferences. Theses can be submitted in the form of dissertation, as well as collection of research works within defined theme or monograph. Procedure of examination of promotional work is regulated by LCS decision N#2-3-2 (13.03.2001). Theses first of all have to be submitted to SSQC for assessment. In the case of positive appraisal (in the case of negative estimation work has to be revised) SSQC forward thesis for judgment to independent international expert. Only after this procedure Promotion Council (appointed by LSC) assign 3 official reviewers and organize public defense.

During reviewed period (1998-2003) 8 graduates of studies program have defended their thesis (see app. 10).

1.3. Comparing of program with others degree programs of universities in European Union countries

Doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering” regarding standards set for doctoral dissertation in general corresponds to analogical programs realized at other European Union universities (e.g., University of Amsterdam, Technical University of Helsinki, TU of Denmark, University of Odense, University of London, University of Cambridge), see http://www.gradschools.com/listings/europe/chem_eng_europe.html; http://www.ceebd.co.uk/ceeed/).

Foreign universities usually provide longer duration for doctoral studies and preparation of dissertation and students have not to take foreign language course as compulsory subject, instead, they can choose more advanced and specialized free choice subjects, list of which usually change by years. Similar postgraduate programs, as regards to volume and requirements for qualification work – doctoral thesis -, are used at Technical University of Helsinki and University of Amsterdam, however in the later only half of year is used up for theoretical courses, the another six months are devoted to teaching assistant placement and much more time is given for research - 3 years (75% from total volume). Taking into account remarks made by experts during previous accreditation (2001), we considerably enlarged time provided for research work within program “Chemical engineering”, which now have increased to 102 cr., i.e., 70.83%.

http://www.ceebd.co.uk/ceeed/

http://www.gradschools.com/listings/europe/chem_eng_europe.html


Depending from specialty chosen postgraduates have to pass 3-5 exams and tests with total workload 42 cr.; all doctoral students should pass compulsory subject “Processes and equipment of chemical technology” (11 cr.), 15 cr. should be received within optional subjects of specialty, e.g., some of these are following: “Problems of polymer chemistry and physics”, “Investigation methods of inorganic materials”, “Physical chemistry of silicates”, “Fundamentals of chemical engineering”, “Wood chemistry and technology”, “Technology of biologically active compounds”. Analogical subjects which are similar in volume are studied by doctoral students at other European universities, e.g., polymer processing in Great Britain (http://www.rgs.uky.edu/gs/bulletin/bull9800/chemengr.html) and Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium (http://www.mapr.ucl.ac.be/Fr/POLY/index.html), high molecular compounds at Prague Institute of Chemical Technology, Czech Republic (http://www.vscht.cz/obsah/fakulty/fchi/english/study/index.html), heat and mass transfer processes, thermodynamics in Great Britain (http://www.rgs.uky.edu/gs/bulletin/bull9800/chemengr.html), general chemical engineering at Prague Institute of Chemical Technology, Technical University of Helsinki, Technical University of Denmark (http://kurser.dtu.dk), where similar specialties of chemical engineering are taught. Analogical courses taught at Norwegian University of Science and Technology are about 2 times smaller by volume than our: “Advanced process simulation” (7.5 ECTS = 5 cr.), “Advanced reactor modeling” (9 ECTS = 6 cr.), “Fluid phase equilibrium” (9 ECTS = 6 cr.), “Wood chemistry in pulping and papermaking” (9 ECTS = 6 cr.), “Nanoparticle and polymer physics 2” (6 ECTS = 4 cr.), “Cement chemistry” (7.5 ECTS = 5 cr.).

In order to receive doctoral degree students of University of Cambridge have to pass 4 written examinations in basic subjects of chemical engineering: “Kinetics; processes and equipment”, “Applied mathemess (for problems of chemical engineering), “Thermodynamics”, “Heat and mass transfer”; defense of dissertation is oral examination, but foreign languages are not included in program. Preparation of doctoral dissertation continues 3 years after theoretical courses are taken at University of Cambridge (http://www.cheng.cam.ac.uk/industry/).

Besides dissertation work 4 subjects from masters’ level courses have to be taken in order to receive doctoral degree at University of Zagreb (http://pierre.fkit.hr/engleski/basic/epostdip.htm).

Enrollment requirements for doctoral studies (http://www.ibt.lt/english/education.htm) at Lithuanian Institute of Biotechnology (Vilnius) are similar to those at RTU; length of studies is 4 years – during studies student has complete at least 3 subjects with total volume at least 20 cr. (at RTU – 42 cr.).

Comparing of our studies program with analogical programs of other Latvian universities is not possible, because, as it was mentioned before, RTU is the only one higher education institution in Latvia, where chemical engineering is taught.

Concerning amount of doctoral students in programs of chemical engineering, it has to be pointed out, that in previously mentioned European universities this number usually reaches 10-20% from number of students in corresponding masters’ programs. For example, in 2003 this number is 15 postgraduates at Prague Institute of Chemical Technology, (http://www.vscht.cz/sil/sil_cz/seminar/seminar_2003.htm) and 59 postgraduates at Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Consequently, in the case of our program this number should be about 2-3 matriculated students per year.

As it follows from analysis, studies program of RTU has some differences comparing with programs of EU universities, because it has larger volume of subjects studied (the

amount of courses is approximately the same) and, correspondingly, shorter period given for dissertation work; decrease of volume of subjects taught and prolongation of studies program for 1 year would diminish these differences.

2. Academic staff

From 76 employed teachers of FMSAC (see tables 2, 3) 30 are teaching studies programs of chemistry profile; realisation of these programs is carried out by qualified academic staff with the largest number of state professors per one student within RTU; all teachers are doctors of sciences or habilitated doctors of sciences; 9 professors are academicians of Latvian Academy of Sciences.

17 Teachers are involved in realization of doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering” – allotment of academic staff according qualification is represented in figure 2, according age – in figure 3 (curriculum vitae of academic staff are attached in appendix 5; qualification and age of personell, fieldwork, placement abroad during years 1998-2003 is compiled in appendix 7); 11 from these teachers are Dr.sc.ing., 3 – Dr.habil.sc.ing., 2 – Dr.habil.chem., 1- Dr.chem. Only persons, which are included in the list of official supervisors accepted by RTU Senate (see app. 1) are eligible to supervise research work of doctoral students.

All teachers are working in research (appendices 6 and 9). Number of prepared teaching methodological materials have decreased in last years due to insufficient finances (teachers had to cover expenses of writing and publishing of monographs and books by themselves), however, for many subjects lectures notes and handouts have been prepared using PC (appendix 6). Workload of academic staff is presented in appendix 8, where list of all subjects provided by teachers (arranged by responsible teachers’ names) is given; list of defended doctoral dissertations and their supervisors is provided in appendix 10.

Though FMSAC is one of the smallest faculties of RTU regarding number of students (even after joining with 250 students of studies programs “Technology of textile and closing” and “Technology and design of materials” in 2002/2003 studies year), it has one of the largest research budgets in university (see table 4) for realization of scientific investigations, grants and state programs (see app. 9), which brings almost 1/3 of total budget of RTU (these numbers for market oriented investigations (MOI) and state programs are appropriately, 68.66 un 75.78%); faculty has rich traditions in research and the widest international cooperation with higher education and research institutions (see app. 9) in 24 countries. We have cooperation with 7 companies, 9 institutes and 18 universities in 24 countries (Germany, Spain, USA, Sweden, Finland, United Kingdom, Poland, Ukraine, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Serbia, Lithuania, Canada, Belgium, France, Israel, Russia, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Norway, Estonia).

RTU (97) 344094 450865 98656 107671 39900 1041186All teachers are involved in research projects, regularly have publications in

internationally recognized journals, carry out fieldwork at foreign companies and universities (appendices 5-7).

Students are welcome to research laboratories starting from the first year of studies (most enthusiastic of them usually start even earlier – during studies at secondary school). Research work is compulsory for all students starting from the 3rd year of undergraduate studies, for graduate and doctoral students. Students are involved in the most of scientific investigations realized at Faculty (appendix 9); graduates and postgraduates under supervision of doctors complete several research projects granted by Latvian Science Council (LSC). During period reviewed 90 students have been involved in realization of 25 research projects, 7 research programs of state significance, contracts and MOI. Annual scientific conferences of students held at RTU provide them experience of presentation of their reports. Postgraduates deliver their results at annual international scientific conferences of RTU.

Research work of many students have been highly estimated: they have received awards, grants, prizes, stipendiums of Latvian Academy of Science (LAS), Latvian Education Foundation (LEF), company “Siemens”, foreign universities and acknowledgments at international conferences (appendix 11). During reviewed period 7 postgraduates of program “Chemical engineering” have deserved special LSC grant for doctoral students.

Rather many students of chemistry profile (at this moment more than 40) combine their studies with job out of Faculty – at research institutes (e.g., Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis (LIOS), Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Institute of Wood Chemistry), at industrial enterprises (e.g., “Rigas Laku un krasu rupnica”, “Grindex”, “Olainfarm”, “Broceni”, “Valmieras Stikla Skiedra”), analytical laboratories, museums and restoration companies; half of present doctoral students are working outside Faculty.

Foreign students are not accepted for studies in reviewed program; foreign professors delivered several separate lectures, but have not been involved in teaching of regular courses. Many doctoral students (e.g., Ivanova Tatjana, Volperts Aleksandrs, Bibers Ivars, Maskavs Martins, Rekners Uldis, Bajare Diana, Revjakins Olegs, Rozenstrauha Ineta, Sics Igors, Certoks Sergejs, Remo Merijs Meri, Sidraba Inese, Krage Linda) have studied or carried out their research work at foreign universities, research institutions and enterprises in Germany, Spain, Finland, United Kingdom, Lithuania, Italy and Czech Republic. Six doctoral students of reviewed period after graduation stayed at Faculty taking positions of researchers or teachers.

4. Material and technical provision of studies program (appendix 14)

2 Departments, 1 professor’s group and 2 institutes provide doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering”:

14013 Department of general chemical engineering, 14014 Professor’s group of chemical technology of biologically active substances, 14021 Department of chemistry 14100 Institute of silicate materials, 14200 Institute of polymer materials.

Structural units of RTU, which participate in teaching process (some laboratories works and parts of several subjects are provided outside RTU), are situated at Azenes Street 14/24. Total occupied territory is 3800 m2, including 600 m2 for auditoriums (appendix 14.1). This territory is used not only for realization of studies programs “Chemistry” and “Chemical

9


engineering”, but also for teaching of subjects “General chemistry” and “Fundamentals of material science”, which are compulsory for all students of RTU (about 2000 students per year). Description of material and technical base (equipment, technical means for studies – projectors, printers, copying machines, demonstration equipment -, hardware and software) of structural units involved in realization of doctoral program “Chemical engineering” is given in appendix 14.

Due to insufficient state budget and specific rules of its receiving, we can not replace out-of-date equipment with updated, expensive and very often unique (for country) equipment (unfortunately, moral ageing of equipment is very fast in the field of developing technologies). There is ridiculous situation in country, because standardization laboratories, Ministries and custom are better supplied by state budget than universities - postgraduates should complete their investigations at foreign universities and institutes or at laboratories outside Faculty!

Library and computer classes of FMSAC

Scientific library of RTU (RTU SL) have moved in 1999 from the very center of Riga to the new building at Kipsalas Str. 10, neighboring our Faculty, but deposition of textbooks is placed in our building, occupying 655 m2. Chemistry branch of scientific library is situated in 602 m2 and its’ reading rooms have 104 sitting places for readers. Readers can use 2 computers in reading room of chemistry branch, as well as Internet class with 8 PCs in neighboring central building of scientific library or our own 2 computer classes (every has 15 workstations); all computers are connected to Internet. PC availability is good (see app. 14.6, 14.7), because students can use computers of institutes and other structural units, too – together there are more then 80 computers in Faculty network connected to Internet.

Library has alphabetical, systematical and electronic catalogues. Library had 781 readers on 01.01.2003. Readers from different companies, other educational establishments, research institutes and even other cities of Latvia use library. Chemistry branch of RTU SL have 244 934 units (on 01.01.2003), including 90 644 books and 140 290 periodicals. During restructuring of library funds were reorganized and now books are disseminated between some branches. Many ancient monographs and handbooks, which have historical and yet scientific value, are kept in the library. There are 150-200 years old books and journals in archive. One of the oldest books is Neander G.F. Auszug aus der im Jahr 1804 inr Kurländischen Gouvernement zur allgemeinen Nachachtung printed in 1805, the oldest journal - Journal der Pharmacei für Ärzte und Apotheker (library has issues from 1794 to 1809). Journals Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie (from 1832), Chemisches Zentralblatt (from 1870), Chemische Berichte (from 1868), Zeitschrift für physikalische Chemie (from 1887) even now have not loose their importance. Nowadays collection of books is mainly enhanced with donations and compulsory copies of books and journals issued in Latvia; since 1999 new books printed abroad can be bought for budget means. Latvian Chemical Society (LCS) takes care about availability of chemistry periodicals in Latvia. LCS acquires reference literature and others most crucial periodicals by exchange, donations or partial charge and supplies it to Academic Library of Latvia; the next example is presented to our library. Today library of Faculty subscribes to 8 newspapers and 19 journals printed in Russian (10 of them – scientific); 3 scientific journals are obtained as compulsory exemplars of Latvia. 7 Foreign journals are received in exchange; other journals are donated. Library receives regular donations of Chemical Abstracts, Journal of American Chemical Society, Journal of Organic Chemistry, Journal of Physical Chemistry, Tetrahedron Letters, Tetrahedron: Assymetry, etc.

10


Small specialized libraries are set up at several institutes and departments of Faculty. Institute of polymer materials has self-designed electronic database of polymer materials; computer class of Faculty besides literature in computer science and vocabularies has CD, audio- and video materials in foreign languages concerning chemistry. Since 2002 students have access to the most powerful and informative database of chemistry “Beilstein Crossfire” (besides LIOS, FMSAC is the only one place in Baltic States where this database is available).

Other facilitiesDue to administration efforts Faculty has very good canteen for students and teaching

staff. Students can use swimming pool “Alex” and physical training facilities at several sports’ halls (one of them is now used as the largest exhibition complex in Baltic States). University has dormitories, which are situated in some minutes walk from Faculty - at Azenes Str. 22 and 22a.

5. Quality assessment and assurance of studies program

Quality of studies process is controlled by Council of Faculty (members of Council are listed in appendix 12.2; they are appointed by Rector of University). All regulations regarding studies process, any new program of studies (necessity to launch this program, it’s content and volume, comparison with analogous programs provided at other institutions), application of a new subject (content, volume and syllabus of subject, conformity of teacher’s qualification to the aim of studies program) are examined and accepted by Council. Changes in present studies programs and opening of new ones is allowed only by decision of RTU Senate.

Defense of dissertation theses of doctoral students of program “Chemical engineering” is organized by Promotional Council of RTU P-02 (app. 16, p.63), which is registered at our Faculty. Doctoral program, volume and content of subjects, procedures for examinations and tests should be coordinated and approved by this Council.

Vice dean for education generally twice per year on the meetings of Council of Faculty reviews situation in studies process and its’ problems. Heads of structural units (departments, institutes, professor’s groups) meet once per week to solve current problems, to discuss studies process, strategy of Faculty, plans for further development, to prepare documents for acceptance at Council and RTU Senate. Internal quality assessment of studies is realized by annual audit of studies process and research work, followed by regular reports about situation; besides that annual self-evaluation reports about all studies programs should be submitted to RTU Senate for examining and acceptance (annual reports and self-evaluation reports are kept at Dean’s Office).

In order to improve quality of doctoral studies program and taking into account experts’ report of previous accreditation, starting from 2001/2002 studies year we have exchange proportions and volumes of some parts of program (ch. 1.2). We try to involve employers in quality assessment and assurance of studies programs. Convention of Counselors, which has been set in spring, 2000 (app. 12.4, 12.5), actively participates in assessment and discussions on content of studies programs, their advertising, takes care for organization of practice in industry, helps to solve some financial problems, participates in planning of future and setting up strategy of Faculty (e.g., joint projects with LIOS and “Grindex” concerning new Research and Technological Center).

11


Last three years we paid a lot of attention to evaluation of content of subjects of studies program, control of examinations and tests of postgraduates was carried out. Questioning of students about subjects learned and teachers of these subjects is carried out at the end of every semester; analysis of results obtained is reported at meetings of heads of structural units and Council of Faculty (responsible person – vice dean for education).

In order to strengthen reflexive bond “student-teacher-employer-graduate” every year we carry out regular questionnaires of students, teachers, employers and graduates regarding studies program (appendix 13).

Estimation of doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering” from students’ attitudeQuestionnaire of postgraduates and summary of their answers (2002/2003 studies

year) is given in appendix 13.4; comparison of students’ answers within 2 last years shows, that amount of essential and actual problems has decreased considerably.Most often students are worrying on:

insufficient financial and technical provision of both studies process and research work, but especially lack of modern equipment necessary for research work (at the same time many graduates mentioned, that this equipment was provided for their use somewhere else in Latvia or abroad),

limited amount of the newest scientific information and journals (only 45% of students were satisfied with availability of text-books and scientific information),

85% of postgraduates consider that 3 years is too short period for preparation of dissertation,

40% of postgraduates recognize above mentioned circumstance as the largest drawback of studies program,

problems of infrastructure of RTU (only half of students is satisfied with condition of rooms and technical equipment of auditoriums).

In order to improve studies program students recommend to enhance connection of themes of investigations to real practical needs.

All postgraduates emphasize necessity of foreign languages in studies program; unfortunately, 85% respondents recognize, that present quality of language teaching does not correspond to the highest level of language skills, and only 55% of them are of the opinion that language teachers have provided sufficient knowledge in technical and scientific terminology of specialty.

About 70% of students have been invited to stay at Faculty after graduation of doctoral studies; 40% are already involved in teaching process at undergraduate and graduate levels; postgraduates are not very interested in sports and leisure time activities organized by RTU, as well as participation in Council of FMSAC, RTU Senate, Academic Assembly and self-government of students; students, who are interested in these activities, are satisfied with possibilities provided.

Estimation of doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering” from employers’ attitudeQuestionnaire and summary of answers of 2002/2003 studies year are attached in

appendix 13.3. Like in previous years, several employers recognize, that it is hard to evaluate studies program, because they have not been enough interested in it and have not participate in Convention of Counselors and other meetings organized for employers. Several employers mention, that they have good contacts with Institute of Silicate Materials and Institute of Polymer Materials. Respondents recognize, that only the largest and financially stable

12


enterprises can manage far-reaching planning of personnel renewal, granting of stipends and providing of practice for students.

Comparing graduates of last years with those, who graduated 8-10 years ago, employers stress better knowledge of foreign languages and information literacy, communication skills, computer literacy; most of employers recognize, that graduates are well trained for practical work, and especially good is their theoretical knowledge. Rather high evaluation is given to sense of responsibility of graduates, discipline, purposefulness and initiative, thirst for knowledge.

Employers as the most valuable features of studies program stress good counterbalance of program, ability of graduates to work independent, and collaboration with foreign universities. Recommendations of employers for necessary improvements:

renewal of academic staff, upgrading of technical provision of laboratories, more attention should be paid to problems actual for industrial enterprises, e.g., within

contracts and MOI (it was noted in 3 questionnaires, that doctoral dissertations was worked out at industrial enterprises); there is necessity to enhance correlation of dissertation themes with real problems of industry,

students are welcome to use modern equipment of laboratories of industrial enterprises, which RTU does not have,

improvement of teaching of foreign languages.

Estimation of doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering” from graduates’ attitudeQuestionnaire and summary of answers of 2002/2003 studies year are attached in

appendix 13.2; evaluation of studies program by graduates is very similar to point of view of doctoral students. Though graduates do no find essential backwards in program, they mention following problems:

poor technical equipment for experimental work (this was mentioned by 29% of graduates, but all respondents noted, that they used equipment of other institutions in Latvia or abroad),

poor financial situation of students was the reason for necessity to combine studies with job and disturbed studies of 57% of respondents,

themes of dissertations was not connected to interests of employers, insufficient practice before doctoral studies prevent in time formulation of

development problems of specific production and soon enough launching of necessary investigations,

insufficient link of practical problems with mathematical and physical methods of calculation,

100% graduates think, that 3 years is too short period for preparation of dissertation,

only 57% graduates were satisfied with availability of text-books and scientific information at RTU,

43% questioned persons were not satisfied with condition of rooms and technical provision of auditoriums.

Those graduates, which work in their specialty, feel satisfied with theoretical and practical knowledge obtained at university and suppose that their knowledge corresponds to needs of job. Deep knowledge of specialty, counterbalance of program, possibilities for studies abroad and possibility to analyze problems together with competent specialists are features, which graduates recognize as the most important values of studies program. 71% of

13


questioned persons during studies have participated in teaching process, 58% have been invited to stay after graduation at Faculty, but due to low salaries they have not accept this offer. Graduates stress, that if university want to draw new specialists, first of all corresponding work, career and financial conditions should be guaranteed for them. Only 29% of respondents have defended their doctoral dissertation; others could not manage it, due to different reasons - too short period for preparation of theses, financial situation, too high requirements (number of publications in internationally known journals).

Answers of questionnaires testify that students, graduates and employers appreciate studies program and comparing with questionnaires of previous years, there is much less considerable shortages. Similar evaluation of studies program can be seen in questionnaires of teachers (app. 13.1). We strongly believe, those most important mentioned shortages of studies process – acquisition of modern equipment and improvement of infrastructure of Faculty – we will solve in the near future, using finances of EU framework projects.

6. Perspective evaluation of studies program

Last years popularity of chemical engineering specialties have decreased because both negative attitude of society engendered by media and impartial reasons - due to depression of chemical industry in country. However, during last 3 years, due to the boom of pharmaceutical industry and announcing of it as priority of economical development of Latvia, situation has changed: interest of both high-school graduates and potential doctoral students about studies program “Chemical engineering” has grown up. State demand for specialists of this branch increases fast. This tendency in next 5-10 years will remain, because the most of leading specialists managing chemical industry in Latvia will be retired in this period.

Chemical engineering continuously is developing with accelerated rate in the world. Taking into account data on increase of production scope and profit in the world, economists forecast, that at the beginning of XXI century chemical production will be the leader between all branches of industry. Successful economical development of country is not possible without its own chemical industry. The same is true for Latvia, which has enough internal resources (wood, peat, sapropel, minerals and agricultural products) and bulky transit of raw materials (oil, oil products, natural gas), convenient geographical position, traditions of chemical industry and research; Latvia needs waste treatment and recycling enterprises, production of polymer materials and textile industry, it has strong potential for pharmaceutical production, it’s biomaterial output for medicine is developing. It is necessary to care about development of chemistry branch, new technologies and preparation of new leading specialists with highest qualification.

Latvia is rich with resources necessary for production of silicate and high-temperature materials: clay, sand, limestone, dolomite, gypsum, gravel. Now 12 large (more then 100 employees), the same number of middle (20-100 employees) and about 40 small (less than 20 employees) enterprises of silicate industry are occupied with processing of these materials in Latvia. Thereby, about 64 enterprises are connected to specialty “Chemistry and technology of silicate and high temperature materials” in Latvia.

Preparation of specialists in field of medicinal materials (specialty “Chemistry and technology of biomaterials”) is perspective and important for further development of economy of Latvia: this branch is less-consuming regarding raw materials and energy, it is oriented to high quality manpower and high level of production and services. Possible employers of specialists are companies, producing medicinal implants and providing

14


corresponding services, laboratories of clinics, institutions occupied with investigation, testing and certification of medicinal materials.

Now the largest demand for specialists comes from the leading branch of chemical industry in Latvia, which has clear perspectives and far-going plans of development – pharmacy. Present state budget financed places for doctoral studies at FMSAC can not satisfy this demand: e.g., LIOS during next 5 years besides masters need also 10 doctors every year (specialists in technology of organic compounds, organic chemistry, physical chemistry); companies “Grindex”, “Olainfarm”, “MedPro” are looking for specialists in technology of organic compounds, analytical chemistry, general chemical engineering. The largest pharmaceutical producer in Baltic States company “Grindex” on 06.11.2003 signed contract with RTU about training of necessary specialists and financial support 5000 Ls/year for acquisition of equipment. FMSAC now is teaching specialists in program “Organic chemistry”, but according demand of industry the new specialty “Technology of organic compounds” would be highly desired within program “Chemical engineering”.

Graduates of studies program “Chemical engineering” will find job in following enterprises and research institutions (see app. 15): “Riga Factory of Varnishes and Paints”, “European Plastic Industry” (Olaine), “Ādažu Polymers Industry”, “Krone”, “Poliur”, “Uponors”, “Tex-Color”, “Baltic-Color”, “Felicianovas Factory for Processing of Plastics” (Ludza), joint stock companies “Valmiera Glass Fibers”, “Building materials”, “Latvian Ceramics”, “Lauma”, “Ogre”, “Larelini” and “Rimako”, “Irve”, “Baltic Bau”, “Tenax” (Dobele), “Olainfarm”, “Grindex”, Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis, Institute of Wood Chemistry, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Restoration Board, laboratories of museums.

Necessary amount of young specialists in the field of chemistry and technology of silicate and high-temperature materials for large and middle enterprises could be in average 1 person per institution during next 5 years. All small enterprises would demand in total approximately 20 specialists next 5 years, that is, about 4 specialists per year. At this moment, especially for largest enterprises of silicate industry, problem of the day is replacement of older generation. Consequently, about 50 young specialists of specialty “Chemistry and technology of silicate and high-temperature materials” have to graduate during next 5 years, that is, 10 graduates per year. It is useful for economy of Latvia that 10 masters and engineers in specialty “Chemistry and technology of biomaterials’, 7-12 – in specialty “Technology of polymer materials and composites”, 10-15 – in specialty “Biologically active compounds and their ready-to-use forms” graduate from university every year. Demand for specialists of other fields is similar (“Environmental engineering”, “General chemical engineering”). Generalizing the above mentioned and taking into account necessity of university for new teachers and researchers, conclusions follow that number of specialists trained in chemical engineering in next 5-6 years should reach approximately 60-70 bachelors, 35 engineers, 30 masters and 5 doctors per year. In order to satisfy growing demand for specialists of branch, number of state budget financed places should be increased in doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering”, too.

It is worthwhile to carry out training of specialists in chemical engineering particularly at RTU FMSAC because several considerations: RTU is the only one higher education establishment in Latvia which provides training in

academic and professional studies programs of chemical engineering; existing studies program satisfy customers – industrial enterprises, research institutions -,

and it is constantly improved, taking into account leading tendencies of the world;

15


some modernization of this program is planed in near future which envisages participation of professors of physics and material science in teaching process;

continuous experience in training of specialists for pharmaceutical branch (at masters and engineers level) would facilitate opening of new specialty of doctoral program ordered by employers – technology of organic compounds;

high qualification of teaching staff and researchers, experience of research and pedagogical work;

efficient contacts of teaching staff and researchers with producers of Latvia (consultations, fulfillment of projects and services – analyses, testing, probations etc.);

upgrading of existing material-technical base necessary for realization of studies program with modern equipment for experimental work is envisaged in near future.

7. Strategic plan for development of studies program

Results acquired in the process of studies program’s self-evaluation are summarized and presented as analyses of situation in table 5.

Table 5. Analyses of situation for doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering”

Factors Positive (facilitating) features Negative (hindering) features1.Job market

1. Continuous demand for good specialists (according prognoses of Development Agency of Latvia in next few years it even will increase).

2. Doctoral theses and knowledge of graduates have got favorable response.

1. Low salaries favor leave of young specialists for job in other braches, or emigration of graduates from Latvia.

2.Finances 1. RTU will receive 3.6 millions euros for renovation of buildings during next 3 years.

2. FMSAC intensively participate in competition for EU structural funds.

3. Contract with company “Grindex” provides financial support for acquisition of equipment 5000 Ls per year.

4. According development plans of educational system in Latvia, it is envisaged that in next years

number of state budget granted studies places will be considerably increased for studies programs in engineering sciences;

additional financing will be provided to graduates of doctoral

1. Last 5 years budget provided for publishing of lecture notes and textbooks or purchase of books was insignificant and uncertain.

2. Small budget for purchase of materials and equipment, for maintenance of the equipment, repairing of rooms was provided only in the last year – before that our earnings mainly covered corresponding expenses.

3. Insufficient state budget have raised emigration of younger teachers from Latvia.

4. Insufficiency of finances for technical personnel (cleaners, guards, wardrobe attendants, etc.).

5. Spending of research grants for provision of teaching process.

6. Small amount of doctoral students raises

studies in order to attract new specialists to university; they will receive special wages.

5. It is expected that RTU will receive 3 millions euros within the framework of National development program of doctoral studies during 2004-2006.

the costs of teaching process; nevertheless ordering of such specialists from abroad would be even more expensive.

3.Academic staff

1. High qualification and correspondence to profile, intensive rising of qualification by fieldwork abroad.

2. Regular discussions on quality of lectures and other kinds of studies, participation in seminars and colloquies.

3. All teachers actively participate in research projects granted by Latvian or foreign institutions, publish their articles in recognized scientific journals.

4. Teachers work in industry or provide consultations, fulfill orders of industrial enterprises etc.

5. Microclimate in collective is friendly and comradely; teaching staff is dealing with experience.

1. Average age of teachers is high. 2. Rather small number of young teachers.3. Due to low salaries teachers have

additional jobs besides employment at university (mainly in specialty).

4. Due to high working load at university it is almost impossible to take academic leave up to 1 year (as it is envisaged by legislation) for teaching or research work in industry or abroad.

4.Research

1. Richness of old traditions, intensive research, most of students are involved in projects.

2. Success in application of international projects and receiving of grants

1. Shortage in new modern equipment for experimental work.

5.Studies 1. Doctoral program has analogues in European universities.

2. Small groups of students (1-3 persons) allowing individual approach.

3. Regular analyses of students’ wishes and suggestions.

4. Students can use a range of facilities: library of Faculty and central library of university (as well as several specialized libraries), computer classes of Faculty, Internet class of central

1. There is shortage in most important scientific journals and their electronic versions are not available at all in Library of Faculty (like in other libraries of Latvia) (university should be the center of scientific information in country).

2. Due to rather high requirements for awarding of scientific degree in our country (comparing with EU) there is necessity to prolong duration of doctoral studies up to 4 years (the most of EU universities provide 3 years completely for preparation of dissertation), to

17


library and computers of structural units.

5. Excellent cooperation with research institutions in Latvia and abroad gives possibility to use their unique and modern equipment necessary for experimental work of our doctoral students

6. Wide international scientific contacts provide possibility to involve in teaching process academic staff of leading European universities and to realize student exchange with foreign universities within related studies programs.

decrease volume of subjects taught.3. Themes of doctoral dissertations should

be more connected to the problems, which are acute for employers and industry of Latvia.

6.Students 1. Students have a lot of opportunities for leisure time activities: self-government, sports, amateur artistic work, and research work

2. Students can combine studies with hired labor at university or outside.

3. Students can establish individual plan and schedule for studies; in the case of necessity they can take an academic leave (total length 2 years).

4. Academic staff is always accessible for students.

5. Financial support is provided to those students, who wish to participate in international scientific conferences.

6. Many doctoral students receive special stipends and grants for good results in studies and research work.

7. Almost all doctoral students improve their theoretical and practical knowledge at foreign universities and companies.

1. Number of discharged backward students (15; 30%) and those who completed only theoretical course (15; 30%) during last 5 years is too large.

2. Students working out of Faculty cannot complete their studies if their job is not connected to dissertation work. Financial problems, change of theme are other reasons for failure.

3. Doctoral students do not have enough time to participate in administrative bodies of Faculty and RTU and self-government of students.

7. Analysis of studies process

1. Questions on organization, content and quality of studies process are discussed at Council

1. Methodological questions are not regularly discussed at all structural units of Faculty.

8. Advertisement and popularization of studies program

Advertisement of studies programs of chemistry profile is realized by means of leaflets, which are printed every year (see appendix 16) and sent to about 350 general and specialized secondary education establishments of Latvia in February or March. Once per 2-3 years “Studies guide” describing studies plans and possibilities, as well as information on research projects of our academic staff, is issued. FMSAC regularly participates in annual international exhibition “Education”. Faculty maintains home page on WWW (http://www.ktf.rtu.lv). Every spring FMSAC organizes Information Days for pupils. Information on possibilities of studies is published in newspapers of Latvia and special annual editions “Izglitibas celvedis” (“Education guide”), “Augstskolas” (“Higher education”), “Kur macities?” (“Where to study?”).

Scientists of FMSAC do their best to introduce inhabitants of Latvia with potential of studies at Faculty by the means of popular-science articles and radio reviews (at least 3 transmissions in period of enrollment), to inform people about role of chemical industry in modern world and its situation in Latvia; academic staff provide lectures on the most interesting chemistry problems at specialized workshops organized for secondary school teachers. In order to support chemistry profile studies programs company “Grindex” and LIOS last 5 years award teachers whose pupils are the best students of Faculty. Annual freshmen questionnaires give and idea on effectiveness, success and shortcomings of advertisement and agitation done.

Annual guide “Postgraduate studies at RTU” is issued by university (see appendix 16).

9. Financial base for professional studies program

Studies programs “Chemistry” and “Chemical engineering” belong to the group of relatively expensive ones and according decision (1999) of Cabinet of Ministers of LR are characterized by high coefficient 3.2. In case of closing of studies program “Chemical engineering” opportunity to continue studies in program “Chemistry” (accredited till 2006) will be provided for postgraduates.

Two kinds of finances are basically used for provision of program:1) state budget subsidies, which, taking into consideration coefficient of complexity for program (according RTU Senate decision), theoretically should reach 5414.40 Ls/per year in studies year 2003/2004, but in reality is 1300 Ls/per year;2) earned financial resources of Faculty:a) research grants, programs, contracts, projects, market oriented investigations partially cover expenses for laboratory works and qualification works; these subsidies provide to academic staff a base for enhancement of qualification. Gross finances have been 322 385 Ls in studies year 2002/2003;b) contracts with industry;c) structural funds of EU;d) profit from rent of rooms.

State budget subsidies are used for wages and payment for communal services. Study fees, grants, programs, contracts, projects, support from ministries and companies have been the main financial sources for acquisition of equipment till now. 5-7% of deductions from grants, programs, contracts and projects are used for maintenance and repairing of premises

22


and buildings. Finances, being at disposal of Faculty Council, are used for maintenance of modern computer classes and internal network connected to Internet.

Though research projects carried out at FMSAC comparing with other faculties bring considerable finances, this source still is not sufficient for acquisition of up-to-date equipment; state budget provided for studies process last 10 years allowed only purchase of small, cheap appliances; in reality studies process often is sponsored by research budget (glassware, reagents, acquisition of equipment). Purchase of expensive equipment is also difficult due to existing financing rules for universities, which envisage splitting of budget per 12 month and do not allow accumulation and transfer of money to the next year.

We have established good relationships with industrial enterprises, which are able to support university financially (e.g., starting from 2003 company “Grindex” annually provide 5000 Ls to Faculty for purchase of equipment); a lot of effort is made to set considerable future cooperation projects (e.g., common project with company “Grindex” and LIOS for establishing of Science and Technology Park (STP) “Center for investigation and production development of organic synthesis, pharmaceutical and medicinal materials”, which already received positive evaluation from Development Agency of Latvia) and international projects. Structural funds of EU will be received soon, which will provide means for improvement of Faculty infrastructure (3.6 millions euros are provided for renovation of facilities of RTU) and purchase of necessary equipment. Department of general chemical engineering have received 15000 Ls in December, 2003, envisaged for purchase of equipment within 5th EU Framework program (leader of project R.Cimdins). We have moved proposals for realization and improvement of postgraduate studies program “Chemical engineering” within national program of development of doctoral studies, which will be supported by 10 millions euros in 2004-2006.

State budget provided for realization of doctoral studies program at this moment (coefficient 3.2 still is not considered) is several times less then in other European universities: e.g., Norwegian University of Science and Technology provides 17 millions NOK/per year for 59 postgraduates, 35 academic staff members and researchers. Research work of approximately 40 postgraduates of chemical engineering program of Michigan University of Technology (USA) is supported by 1 million USD per year (total of state budget and industry grants) (http://www.chem.mtu.edu/chem_eng/graduate/index.htm).

Average salary of chemistry professors within universities which realize postgraduate studies programs was 115.500 USD in 2002, associated professors received in average 78.000 USD, but assistant professors (docents) – 60.000 USD per year (Chemical&Engineering News, Aug. 5, 2002, p.43) – salaries of our academic staff is at least 10 times less. The fact that our postgraduates do not wish to stay at university and in Latvia is understandable, because they can earn much more working for companies then at RTU, furthermore, chemists is one of the most demanded and best paid profession abroad: average salary of such level specialists in industry was 94000 USD in 2002 (Chemical&Engineering News, Aug. 5, 2002, p.38).

We hope, that renewal of academic staff of Faculty soon will happen, as starting from 2003 postgraduates can receive special stipendium 60 Ls/per month as a credit (which will be paid off, if promotional work (doctoral theses) will be defended within 5 years) and increased salaries are envisaged for postgraduates-teaching assistants.

Conclusions

23

http://www.chem.mtu.edu/chem_eng/graduate/index.htm


Academic studies in postgraduate program “Chemical engineering” at RTU enable to reach formulated aims. Actual study program is a result of both research interests of structural units, historical development and changes initiated by previous accreditation. No doubt, necessity to respond to changes in chemistry branch in Latvia and worldwide will lead to further corrections in program, directions of which are already predictable: within near future program should be improved according priorities established for economy of Latvia and should satisfy employers’ demand for specialists in technology of organic compounds – pharmaceutical technology, technology of fuels and oil refinery, complex wood processing.

Strengths of studies program: academic staff have pedagogical and research experience of many years and high

qualification; teaching staff and students carry out intensive research work; close collaboration with state research institutions and industry; small number of students per teacher allow individual approach in teaching; graduates are highly demanded in job market; good (often high) estimation of

graduates by employers and foreign professors (as follows from questionnaires); students, graduates and employers give good references about realization of study

program; institutions in charge already support projects for funding of infrastructure

development and acquisition of research equipment, worked out by FMSAC for years 2004-2006.

Weakness of studies program:

significant number of unsuccessful students and those, who have completed only theoretical courses;

many students try to combine studies with job; thereby studies are bothered and delayed or even given up;

availability of academic staff within age group 31-40 years is problematic; there is necessity to draw graduates of doctoral studies for work at university;

fast development of technologies needs continuous updating of material and technical base for experimental work, which becomes outdated very quickly; state budget have not been granted for these purposes till now.

Doctoral studies program “Chemical engineering” has analogues at universities of European Union countries, but does not have analogue in Latvia – RTU is the only one higher education establishment, which prepares such specialists; program have been launched taking into account recommendations of EFCE (European Federation of Chemical Engineering), it has been discussed and have got positive reports at Convention of Counselors of Faculty of Material Science and Applied Chemistry. Program corresponds to diverse job market of country and train specialists within fields formulated as priorities of strategic development of Latvia.

“Self-evaluation report” have been discussed and accepted on 16.02.2004.
