INTRODUCTION

At present Latvia is the leading country on the East coast of the Baltic Sea and the sector of transport services will play a crucial role in the development of national economy also in the future.

There are several urgent tasks to be fulfilled for complete implementation of the national programme, including also the national maritime transport development programme. A coordinated development and enhancement of professional education and research based on a creative collaboration of lecturers, researchers and professionals are of particular importance. For the growth of transport system modern technical, technological and management education is needed, which includes comprehensive knowledge, research and improved skills that would provide professionals with a competitive capacity on national and international labour markets.

The Latvian Maritime Academy (hereinafter LMA) started its activities in 1989 and since the first graduation in 1994 more than 500 maritime specialists have graduated from it obtaining higher professional education, included 35 graduates in specialty ship electrical automation. Knowledge and skills of LMA graduates satisfy the requirements of IMO, EU and Latvian maritime institutions. The demand for the LMA graduates is growing both in Latvia and abroad.

At present the LMA offers 6 accredited professional study programmes and 4 licensed professional Bachelor’s higher education programmes. Studies for a Bachelor’s degree were started in the academic year of 2006/2007 and they provide qualifications appropriate for the programme and professional Bachelor’s degree in maritime transport or management and administration.

The second level study programme ‘’Ship electrical automation’’ was realized since LMA foundation in 1989. Considering restricted request and minimal interest from applicants, enrolment in this specialty happened with interruption. Total amount of graduates is 35 in this programme. In 2006 LMA and Latvian professional maritime organization set up a new professional higher education programme – ‘’Maritime transport-marine electrical automation” for Bachelor’s degree in Maritime transport and qualification – marine electromechanical engineer.

All relevant documents may be obtained, in electronic form, from DMEA and other relevant bodies.

Programs will be implemented by: LMA Department of Marine Transport, Department of Marine Engineering, Department of Marine Electrical Automation, Department of General Educations, Department of Foreign Languages and Training Centre of LMA. All will be done following the primary direction and requirements of the course.

According to LMA Regulation “On the Department of Marine Electrical Automation of LMA” (Appendix 6, Item 7), the professional bachelor’s programme “Maritime transport- marine electrical automation” for professional bachelor’s degree in Maritime Transport and professional qualification – marine electromechanical engineer was developed by the joint working group of LMA under the leadership of Director of DMEA. Further development and implementation of the programme is coordinated by the Director of DMEA, associate professor G. Lauža, but academic performance of students studying for a Bachelor’s degree is supervised by the assistant of Director of DME, I. Jermaka.

The Bachelor’s programme is based on a system-type approach, defining strictly the framework of programme and its implementation plan (Appendix 1).

2.1. Changes in the programme framework The initial wording of the structure was approved by the LMA

Senate on February 6 2006, protocol N0 86 and this version was agreed with Latvian Seaman Register in March 31, 2006, as well as this version was submitted to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Latvia (hereinafter MoES) for obtaining license (Appendix 5).

Since its implementation in 2006, the programme has undergone changes two times (the fist time on 23.05.2007., the Journals of DMEA No 97, approved in LMA Senate on May 28, 2007, protocol N0 96 and the second time on 28.05.2008., the Journals of DMEA No 107, approved in LMA Senate on June 30, 2008, protocol N0 105) on the basis of the experience of study programme organization, recommendations of

7

marine experts of Latvia and potential employers of LMA graduates etc. (Appendix 6, Item 17).

In the compulsory (A) part of the Study Programme (Appendix 6, Item 9): The title of study course ‘’Engineer chemistry’’ has been changed to

‘’Applied Chemistry’’, which fairly presents content of study course; A new study course “Shipboard works” has been introduced in

Semester 2 and 3; The extent of study course “Maritime safety” has been increased than

students will master all necessary acquirements and skills for ship officer in maritime safety as well as received such certificates: “Basic Safety Training”, ”Advanced fire fighting”, “Medical first aid” and “Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats other than Fast Rescue Boats.

In the practice and practical training (C) part of the Study Programme (Appendix 6, Item 9): The amount of seagoing practice has been decreased from 28KP to

26KP may students can attend practical training course “Electrical workshop practice” amounting to 2KP;

The part-time students get the task of practical training when they start the studies and present report till the Final examinations. During the studies they must obtain necessary seagoing service, confirmed by the certificate of competency issued by the Latvian Registry of Seaman or certificate of Seagoing practice.Some study courses are changed by the semesters, so that students

successfully can to achieve aims of study programme. In general the total credit points of study programme do not changed.

2.2. Compliance with LMA objectives and tasks The Programme is developed in line with the LMA quality policy

and basic objectives of the Academy: to provide students with higher professional maritime education and an academic degree, as well as to develop the applied sciences in order to maintain the intellectual potential of the seafaring sector of the Republic of Latvia, which will help to occupy a stable position and obtain recognition on the international maritime education market (Appendix 6, Item 3).

The Programme implementation and development plan meets general LMA quality objectives, which according to the LMA quality policy have been set out for a longer period of time (Appendix 6, Item3): To ensure that the quality management system complies with the ISO

90001:2000 requirements, meeting at the same time nationally and internationally regulated requirements;

To establish a modern academic education, training and project/research base in Daugavgriva, 5B Flotes street;

To implement the Bologna Declaration on the establishment of a unified European higher education area;

To ensure a gradual change in the generations of teaching staff at the Academy, maintaining the required qualifications and competencies nevertheless;

The Programme fits in organically with the general quality objectives of LMA and promotes their implementation, fulfilling definite annual quality tasks, for example:

8

The Programme quality management is carried out in accordance with the procedures set out by the LMA management system (development and maintenance of documentation: instruction and learning, evaluation and implementation of the requirements of our internal and external clients, improvement of information circulation, etc.);

In the LMA Study Centre a new LMA structural unit is being organized i.e., “Laboratory of applied researches in maritime transport and infrastructure”, giving an opportunity for post-graduate students to carry out educational and research work there (Appendix 6, Item 18);

The teaching staff employed to carry out the Programme together with students have established international cooperation with the present partners of SOCRATES/ERASMUS project and others, and are active in establishing new contacts (Chapter 10);

The Programme fulfils one of the goals of the Bologna Declaration, namely, the introduction of a three-stage (Bachelor’s-Master’s-Doctor’s) degree system (Stage 1) in the maritime transport sector in Latvia;

The teaching staff of the Programme and the students participate in scientific workshops, scientific and methodical seminars of LMA, as well as in projects and research work (Chapters 5.3 and 8.2).

2.3. Internal quality management of the ProgrammeThe internal quality mechanism of the Programme constitutes a

part of certified LMA Quality Management System and functions in line with QMS documentation.

3. Description of the Programme and study measuresThe study program includes individual work and in groups,

practical work, independent use of sources of information. During diploma project those areas of knowledge, which lead to an increase in the theoretical and practical understanding of maritime transport and leadership, are deepened. Creativity and research methodology are also learned.

The extent of study programme is 185 Latvian credits (277.5 ECTS credits). The official length of the programme is 4,3 years of full time studies or 5 to 9 years of part time studies.

complete courses in technical maintenance of ship electrical equipment and energy equipment, maintenance and repair at a management level amounting to a total of 105 credit points, designed to provide competence and skills to meet the requirements of the International Convention STCW-78 ‘’Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers’’ as amended, standard A-III/1;

The elective courses allow the students to improve knowledge, skills and abilities in the chosen specialization.

The programme includes practical work in mechanical and electrical workshops, ship repair yards and sea service. During the period of practical training students are improving their knowledge and skills to be able to work as a ship electrical engineer on ships without restrictions of main propulsion machinery in accordance with certification regulations (STCW-78/95, A-III/1) after graduating from LMA and to be completely competitive in labour market.

During the shipboard training students are acquainted with the innovations and problems in the field of ship power systems, electric power supply, maintenance and repair, they realize in practice and assess the topicality of the selected subject for their Diploma project. They are required to collect and systemize materials for the development of a Diploma project and perform other tasks according to the Practice task of LMA (Appendix 6, Item 13). During the period of practical training students are verifying their physical and psychological adequacy for work on ships, improving their technical intellect, organizational qualifications and developing personnel management abilities.

Diploma project should be based on independently developed qualified, applied, publicly defendable research. The diploma project depends on the student’s choice and includes: Protection of the environment, marine power plant optimization, marine power plant diagnostics, maritime transport safety and quality control etc.

The descriptions of study courses included in the Study Programme you can see in DMEA (Appendix 6, Item 34). The programme provides for a possibility to transfer the credit points, transferring respective courses of study completed in another university, including foreign universities.

4. Assessment system The choice of the assessment system in the programme is determined by the binding regulating documents, the mode of study and the previous LMA practice.

10

When assessing the level of academic progress and successful fulfilment of the programme requirements, two basic principles are applied: Openness when assessing the knowledge and skills – in conformity

with the objectives and tasks of the programme and study courses of study standards of attainment have been established to qualify for a positive assessment of study results;

Mandatory character of the principle of assessment student has to receive a positive assessment with regard to each mandatory and free-choice programme element according to its description.Successful progress in attaining standards set up by the programme of

study is assessed according to the procedure established in the LMA quality management system in line with the following specific requirements.

The basic form of assessment in the programme is a test and exam. Examination results, course papers and final examinations are assessed in terms of a 10-point grading scale according to unified assessment principles (Table 4.1). Tests or results of the practice are evaluated by a two-part scale with “tested” or “not tested” or in terms of a 10-point grading scale (Appendix 1).

Table 4.1Assessment scale

Assessment Compliance to programme10 With

distinctionKnowledge exceeds programme requirements, thorough understanding of the problem and ability to carry out independent research

9 Excellent Programme requirements have been met completely, the student has acquired the skills to use his knowledge independently

8 Very good Programme requirements have been met completely, yet the understanding of definite issues is not sufficient to apply the knowledge for solving more complicated problems

7 Good In general, the programme has been mastered in line with the established requirements, yet there is a certain lack of understanding of some less important issues, the student might encounter minor difficulties in the solution of definite practical tasks

6 Almost good

In general, the programme has been mastered, yet the understanding of some major problems is not sufficient, the student might encounter difficulties in the practical application of the knowledge acquired

5 Satisfactory

Generally the programme has been mastered, yet an insufficient understanding of some important problems has been observed, the student encounters difficulties in the practical application of the knowledge acquired

4 Almost satisfactory

Generally the programme has been mastered, yet an insufficient understanding of some basic concepts has been observed, the student encounters significant difficulties in the practical application of the knowledge acquired

3 Poor Knowledge is superficial and insufficient; the student is unable to apply the knowledge in concrete situations

2 Very poor There is only a superficial and fragmentary knowledge on separate problems; the major part of the programme has not been acquired

1 Very, verypoor

There is no understanding of subject problems, the student has practically no knowledge on the subject

The aggregate of programme’s requirements for obtaining a positive assessment for study results is given in the subject descriptions and/or respective LMA guidelines.

11

On successful completion of the study programme students have to pass final examinations to be considered and assessed by the final examination commission according to the LMA Statute (Appendix 6, Item 22). The final examinations consist of exam in Maritime English, exam in Specialty and Diploma project.

The professional Bachelor’s degree in maritime transport and qualification – marine electromechanical engineer is granted on successful completion of the programme, i.e. when the student has received positive assessment and obtained required credit totals for all the programme elements, including presentation of a Diploma project.

5. Implementation of the programme 5.1. Methods and mode of study

The study programme is realized in two modes of studies – full-time studies and part-time extra-mural studies.

Full-time studies are realized using planned classes (lectures, laboratory/practical works and consultations), but part-time extra-mural studies are realized on an individual basis, students receiving individual tuition and instruction from the teaching staff. Practical work takes place in several parts:

Shipboard work – 2nd and 3rd semesters; Workshop practice (4 credit points) – 4th and 5th semesters; Sea service (26 credit points) – 6th semester in accordance

with LMA guidelines (Appendix 6, Item 13); Electrical workshop practice (2 credit points)- 5th semester Ship repair practice (4 credit points) – 8th semester in

accordance with LMA guidelines (Appendix 6, Item 13).The seagoing practice and ship’s repair practice is realized in

accordance with the triangular agreement, which signed between LMA, shipping company/enterprise and trainee. Practical agreement includes the aim of practice, tasks and responsibilities of the parties. DMEA is developed task of practical training and requirements of content of the practice report, which are accepted by Practical Training record book confirmed by Latvian Registry of Seaman. Rector of LMA has signed cooperation agreements with various companies. These agreements aid cooperation and exchange of information in the field of seaman’s labour market, which helps to review the study programme and upgrade it.

The part-time students get the task of practical training when they start the studies and present report till the Final examinations. During the studies they must obtained necessary seagoing service, confirmed with the certificate of competency issued by the Latvian Registry of Seaman or certificate of Seagoing practice.

An essential part in the studies is played by the independent and research work of students: in order to meet the programme requirements students have to develop 5 course papers; at the end of studies they have to develop Diploma project (Appendix 6, Item 24).

5.2. Project/research activities of the academic staff and their effect on studies

The Latvian Maritime Academy is a relatively new university whose academic staff have mainly been made up of the teaching staff of several other universities of Latvia (also Russia) and therefore the project/research work traditions at the Academy in the maritime transport sector are only under development.

12

The main directions of project and research activities of the academic staff involved in the Programme are as follows:

Scientific and other publications; Participation at national and international scientific conferences; Management of research projects and programmes of the Latvian

Science Council and other countries or participation in their implementation;

Management of internationally funded research projects or participation in their implementation;

Management of scientific contractual works or participation in their implementation;

Working as experts in Latvian and international projects and programmes;

Patents and licenses; Reviewing of monographs, postgraduate thesis and master’s thesis; Studies in post-graduate or graduate courses; And others.

Project/research activities of the academic staff that are involved in the implementation of the programme of study are shown in greater detail in Chapter 8.

The project/research work and professional activities of the academic staff influence the work in the programme of study in several directions: Selection of the teaching staff for the implementation of programme

elements (Chapter 8.4); Selection of topics of Diploma works and supervision and guidance of

Diploma works; The qualifications of the teaching staff are improving and

correspondingly their work in the formation and development of the programme of study and implementation plans, in the updating of the content of different study courses, supervision and assessment of studies, practice and Diploma works, informative and material provision of studies, etc.;

Promotion of understanding and establishing of links between studies, project/research, creative work and actual professional work;

Other.

5.3. Involvement of students in research projects As stated in Chapter 8, the project and research work in the Academy in general has become more active during the past three years and it has promoted a more active involvement of students, including students, in these activities.

Students of ship’s electrical automation specialty together with the teaching staff are involved in the LMA research projects in years 2007 and 2008 and perform definite tasks in line with the research direction, for example, 3rd year students K. Romanausks, J. Krēgers and Ž. Ivanovs under the guidance of prof. A. Gasparjans researched questions about modelling of asynchronous ship machinery, but 2nd year student E. Komkovs under the guidance of prof. J. Brūnavs reseach questions about ships electrical-safety (Appendix 6, Item 24).

6. Prospective programme evaluation At present Latvia is one of the leading country on the East coast of the Baltic Sea and the sector of transport services will play a crucial role in the development of national economy also in the future.

13

The objective of transport development policy in Latvia is to establish an effective, safe, and environment friendly, multimode, balanced and competitive transport system, with maritime transport constituting an inseparable part of it.

There are several urgent tasks to be fulfilled for complete implementation of national programme, including the national maritime transport development programme. A coordinated development and improvement of professional education and research that are based on a creative mutual co-operation of lecturers, researchers and professionals is of particular importance. For the growth of the transport system a modern technical, technological and management education is required, which comprises a comprehensive knowledge, research capabilities and practical skills that would provide professionals with competitive ability on national and international labour market.

The professional Bachelor’s degree study programme “Maritime transport – marine electrical automation” satisfies the interests and needs of our country and society and international requirements. This is proved by initial examination of the programme carried out by the professional maritime transport organizations and/or experts (Appendix 6, Item 35). 6.1. Compliance with the state professional higher education standard

The study programme “Maritime transport- marine electrical automation” complies with the Regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia No 481 from 20 November 2001 “Regulation on Second Level Professional Higher Education Standard” with amendments: The strategic objectives and main tasks of the programme are set out

according to the needs of the state, maritime transport and the transport sector in general (Chapter 1);

The extent of study programme is 185 Latvian credits; The length of the study programme for bachelor’s degree in Maritime

transport with qualification marine electromechanical engineer is 4,3 years of full time studies or 5 to 9 years of part time studies;

The compulsory content of the study programme consists of: General study courses amounting to 20 credit points; Theoretical courses of industry amounting to 45 credit points; Professional maritime courses amounting to 60 credit points Elective study courses - amounting to 6 credit points; Practice and practical training - amounting to 40 credit points; Final examinations, which consist of exam in Maritime English,

exam in specialty and diploma project, which amounts to 14 credit points.

The programme matriculates the applicants who have previously obtained a general secondary education or secondary professional education.

The courses, their content and extent, as well as the content of training practice are defined according to the potential employment challenges, planned obligations and tasks to be faced by the programme graduates;

On successful completion of the programme the students are granted with a professional bachelor’s degree in maritime transport and qualification as a marine electromechanical engineer;

The acquired degree provides for the right to continue studies in the relevant Master’s program.

14

The basic principles and formal procedure for evaluating the level of fulfilment of programme requirements according to the established standards are set out in descriptions of study courses (Appendix 6, Item 34).

6.2. Results of potential employers’ polls The aim of the polls of potential programme graduates’ employers

is to find out the perspective evaluation of employers of the programme of study and to listen to their proposals aimed at the improvement and future development of the programme.

There are 11 respondents (shipping companies/ crewing agencies, enterprises) were polled. Among the respondents were LSC Shipmanagement, Riga Shipping Company, LAPA Ltd., Tallink, Hanza Elektroniks etc. Nine of these companies (82%) protractedly had vacancies for ship electrical engineering specialty. Request for these specialists is similar both on ships at sea, and in costal enterprises.

If we are forecasting demand of ship electrical engineering specialists for next 6 years, majority of respondents said that electrical engineering specialists needs more than at that moment (Appendix 6, Item 20).

7. Students7.1. Number of students in the programme and short description

The number of students in the programme is given in Table 7.1 as at October 1, 2008 grouping by study years.

In summary, we can see that annual number of students matriculating in the study programme ‘’Maritime transport-marine electrical automation’’ is not huge, but we must recognized that ship electrical engineering specialists in comparison with other maritime specialties needs lesser. We also must recognize that we have some problems with enrolment of new students, because very small percent of applicants are interested in this specialty.

7.3. Number of graduates At present there are no programme graduates. The first programme

graduates with a professional bachelors’ degree in maritime transport and qualification – marine electromechanical engineer are expected to graduate in the winter of 2009.

COMPARISION OF PROGRAMME WITH SIMILAR PROGRAMMES IN THE UNIVERSITIES OF EU COUNTRIES

Study programme is developed on bases of necessity to realize rules and legislation of higher education in Latvia, included IMO compulsory requirements.

The study programmes from World Maritime University, Sweden, Malme (WMU), Kymenlaakso Polytechnic Maritime Department, Finland, (KPMD), Hogskolan I Kalmar Sjobefalssolan, Sweden, (HIKS) Fachhochschule Aachen, Germany, University of Agder, Norway are choose for comparison.

Requirements of enrollment.Like in LMA, other European bachelor’s degree study programmes

applicants are enrolled in the programme with a general secondary education or secondary professional education and state of health which comply with international requirements. Study level.

Study level in all comparison programmes complies with the Regulation of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Latvia No 481 from 20 November 2001 “Regulation on Second Level Professional Higher Education Standard” with amendments. In accordance with these regulations study programme was developed. There are modern presentation technologies and acquisition methods of knowledge with appropriate technical aids and simulators as well as practical training on ships are included in study process.Content of Study programme

Analyses of content of study programme bases on descriptions of study programmes. For study programmes comparison we choose marine engineering study programs from Europa.

Because requirements for marine electrical automation specialty are not included in STCW-78/95, for comparison of study programme we offer electrical engineering programmes for coastal specialties. The study programmes from Fachhochschule Aachen, Germany, University of Agder, Norway are choosing for comparison.

Here we see that in foreign higher institutions amount of mathematics and physics courses is bigger, but when we sum all electrical engineering, electronics and automation study courses then LMA has 52.5 ECTS, Fachhochschule Aachen - 80ECTS, but University of Agder - 65 ECTS. It means, that LMA decrease amount of these study courses about 20-30%, and this group of study courses replace with maritime courses in accordance with Convention STCW-78/95 requirements for ship engineers at operation level.

Potentialities of graduates. After study programme graduation graduates have professional

bachelor’s degree in Maritime Transport and qualification - marine electromechanical engineer which complies with the requirements of level 5 of professional qualification. Considering that maritime study courses are included in the programme in accordance with STCW-78/95, A-III/1, after graduation graduates can to keep a watch in Engine room. In accordance with established procedure graduates eligible to apply for a certificate of competency – ship electrical engineer and work on ships like ship electromechanical engineer without restrictions of main propulsion machinery. The Programme graduates are entitled to further studies for master’s degree.. Conclusion:

1. Professional maritime courses in all comparable programmes mostly are similar.

2. In LMA study programme knowledge of English is main priority and it exceed minimal requirements of IMO.

3. Some of foreign study programmes didn’t include elective courses.

65

4. In comparison with European bachelor’s programmes, LMA decrease amount of electrical engineering, electronics and automation study courses, but it’s decrease are compensate with 6 months seagoing practice.
