1. PROGRAMME CONCEPT

The programme “Computer Technologies for Design of Thermal and Nuclear Power Plants” is one of

the programmes within the field of study 140100 “Heat and Power Engineering” of Tomsk Polytechnic

University (TPU). It focuses on advanced studies in natural and engineering sciences, computer and

2. PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES

The programme objectives have been elaborated at close cooperation with the programme constituencies

based on qualification profile, types and tasks of professional activity that programme graduates must be

able to achieve / solve. Use of the relevant data ensures the constituencies’ needs are to be taken into

account while defining the programme objectives. The team of programme developers considers the

requirements of potential employers as priorities. The program objectives were widely discussed both in

group of developers, and at TPU departments responsible for the programme delivery and are approved

by the TPU Academic Council.

TPU constantly keeps in contact with representatives of a labor market and employers providing their

involvement in programme design and delivery, study process, development of teaching materials, and

in programme evaluation. The university stipulates active participation of students in the programme

Graduation Thesis (Master Thesis) is the basic means of graduate’s assessment. The paper is

result of an independent logically sound study, which is based on solving the specific design problem

and fosters understanding, experience and knowledge and skills necessary for engineering design.

Topics of the thesis in engineering design include modernization, reverse engineering,

enhancement of safety standards in analogues, prototypes of the Russian and foreign TPP and NPP

power units as well as innovative projects. The projects cover wide range of issues concerned with

58



social, ecological, economical aspects and limitations as well as problems of safe operation. While

designing potentially hazardous components of TPP and NPP equipment and systems the greatest focus

is given to their safety during the entire life of the object, i.e. failure prediction, assessment of safety

systems efficiency and radiation level.

Main part of the thesis is performed in the following sequence: analysis of innovations, design

problem setting, search for innovative options, engineering calculations, equipment layout, process

design, organizational design, ergonomic design, technical and economic evaluation of engineering

solutions, prediction of the effect from the implementation of a given solution, project evaluation and

analysis.

The thesis is presented as a manuscript with corresponding illustrations and references.

Requirements to the content, volume and structure of the Master’s Thesis are set by the current

Statement on the Final Engineering Certification of TPU graduates, the Federal State Educational

Standard for “Thermal Power Engineering”.

The thesis is defended by the graduate during the meeting of the State Board for Certification

headed by the leading representative of the industry. Members of the Board are selected from the

number of potential employers and prominent academicians of the University.
