The Master’s educational and professional program “Energy Efficient Technologies” is implemented by department of information and measurement technologies and energy management Faculty of Automation and Energy of IFNTUNG. The program is interdisciplinary and simultaneously covers two specialties: G3 “Electrical Engineering” and G6 “Information and Measurement Technologies” — a unique combination that shapes a new generation specialist at the intersection of engineering, measurement, and energy management.
Relevance of the Program
Increasing energy efficiency is one of the key priorities in the reconstruction and development of Ukraine. No enterprise, building, or industrial facility can be competitive without a systematic approach to energy resource management. At the same time, modern energy efficiency is not just about insulating buildings but encompasses a range of digital technologies: monitoring and measurement systems, computer modeling, project management, and attracting international funding.
It is precisely this systemic view that forms the “Energy Efficient Technologies” program — at the intersection of electrical engineering, measurement systems, and management.
What students study
The curriculum includes compulsory courses in three areas:
- General Preparation: business communication and professional terminology in a foreign language; energy planning and finance; sustainable development and engineering education.
- Technical block: design, operation, and management of power supply systems; measurement of energy parameters of technical objects; information and measurement support for technical diagnostics; computer modeling and simulation of energy complexes.
- Management Block: energy monitoring and management systems; energy-efficient technologies; fundraising and project management; research methodology.
The elective component allows students to deepen their training from the departmental and university-wide catalogs in accordance with individual career goals.
Uniqueness of the Program
Combining two specialties in one program provides graduates with a significantly broader range of competencies than a regular master’s degree in electrical engineering or metrology alone. A specialist in “Energy Efficient Technologies” knows how to measure and document the energy performance of an object, develop and model an energy consumption management system, create an energy-saving program, secure project financing, and implement the project — from idea to result.
Practical Training
Internships and student placements in the program are conducted at leading regional enterprises with which the department has signed cooperation agreements: DMP “Ivano-Frankivskteplokomunenergo”, JSC “Prykarpattiaoblenergo”, JSC “DTEK Burshtynska TPP”, SE “Ivano-Frankivskstandartmetrologiya”, KP “Ivano-Frankivskvodoekotechprom”, PrJSC “Ivano-Frankivskcement”, LLC “Karpatnaftochim”. A student may also independently choose a place of practice and provide a letter of endorsement from the enterprise.
Forms of Study and Admission Conditions
The program is offered in full-time and part-time formats based on a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, information and measurement technologies, automation, or related specialties. The program concludes with the completion and defense of a master’s thesis.
