Power Engineering Warsaw University of Technology

Overview

During the first year of this Power Engineering programme from Warsaw University of Technology  , studies focus on mathematics, physics, mechanics, thermodynamics, and computer science. The core subjects for the second year are fundamentals of mechanical design, control engineering, and foreign language. Students of Power Engineering learn advanced thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer theory of heat machines, electric machines, electronics, fundamentals of combustion processes and fuels, the theory of flow machines, electric power systems. 

Key facts

• The third year is again more specialized. In the third year of Power Engineering students learn thermal power systems, energy sources and energy conversion, technologies of environmental protection, renewable energy systems, control of heat processes, they also learn about turbines, pumps, steam boilers, reciprocating engines and heat pumps. 
• The last half of the year in 3.5 years programme is devoted to the supervised work on the engineering diploma thesis. 
• They have wide knowledge in the area of thermal engineering, electrical power engineering, information technologies, and economics. The programme provides them with knowledge and skills that are important for sustainable development of energy sources, ecological production of energy, transmission, and distribution of electricity. Students are prepared for creative work within the area of design, commissioning, and operation of power systems, as well as energy production, conversion, transmission and distribution.
