What information would you give him?c) What harm can power engineering do to the Earth and howcan engineers protect the environment?2.2. Read the text to get acquainted with the main historical dates connected with the Power Engineering Faculty.FROM THE HISTORY OF THE POWER FACULTYThe Power faculty is one of the biggest faculties of NSTU. The trainingof power engineers began at the electromechanical faculty in 1955 and in1956 the first department of electric power direction started its work.In 1959 the department of technique of high voltage began to work.
Thedevelopment of electropower education demanded the creation of new departments and in 1961 the department of safety and electric mounted technology was formed. Then in the same year three more departments wereformed: "Electric power plants", "Electric nets and systems" and "Electricpower supply of industrial enterprises and cities".The quantity of full-time and part-time students reached about 700 andit was decided to open the power faculty. The first dean was Professor O. N.Veselovsky.
Later, in 1965, the department of hydroenergy and economicswas formed. The same year the department of heat energy and hydraulicsjoined the faculty. So the formation of the faculty was completed. But ourindustry demanded new specialists and at the end of the 80-s a new department was opened – "Automatic control of power systems".
In those yearsthe reformation of higher education began, and there was a need in new specialists and that was why the faculty began to train specialists for heat power plants. Later students were enrolled to the new speciality "Power engineering economics and management".In 1993 Yu. M. Sidorkin was elected as the dean of the power faculty.He did a lot for the development of the faculty.
In 1998 there appeared newspecialities: "Human and occupational safety" and "Relay protection andautomation of electric power systems".136Now it is the biggest faculty of NSTU, there are more than 2200 students. 1600 are full-time students and 600 – part-time ones. The academicstaff is about 100 teachers. There are two councils – electric power and heatpower.
And there are a lot of perspectives in the future.Comprehension2.3. Find different dates in the text and explain what they are connectedwith.2.4.

Highly qualified electricalengineers are trained in several specialities at the departments of power engineering. There is also an individual training dealing with research, elaboration, design and operation of automatic and automated high-voltage installations and devices used in power and electrical engineering, electrophysics,power installations of thermal stations; it also deals with management problems.The term of instructions at the Power Engineering Faculty is four yearsto receive Bachelor's Degree, after five years and a half students becomeprofessionally qualified engineers and after six years of training they canreceive Master's Degree.Management departmentPower industry is the most stable, reliable and attractive for innovativemanagement and business activities in all countries of the world.
The development of power engineering, the improvement of administrative systemsand world integrity require enterprising, competent and businesslike managers having all modern scientific knowledge in management and able to takein account all the changes in industry and society.
The curriculum providesadvanced knowledge and comprehensive information on the problems ofmanagement, marketing, computerization, and banking. The students alsoacquire knowledge and skills in sociology and psychology of administrativeactivity, their abilities for organization are developed as well.139Thermal stations departmentPower balance of the country depends to large extent on thermal stationsoperation. The speciality trains experts in operation, design, constructionand adjustment of thermal stations power equipment. Nowadays the problem of production is of primary importance, it refers to electric power generation.
Great attention is paid to training of students, capable to do research inthis field, to work out new environmentally friendly technologies for powerstations to be built in future. There are interesting tasks, for those, who liketo solder complicated semiconductor circuits, to solve tasks, connectedwith programming, and for those, who are inclined to theoretical researchbased upon modern mathematical theories.
As all branches of national economy consume electric power, the graduates of this speciality can work at different places, ranging from industrial enterprises to large ocean ships.Technique and electrophysics of high voltage departmentThere is an acute need for specialists in high voltage technique in modernpower systems, as millions of volts are used for generation, transmission anddistribution of electric power. High-voltage equipment is the basis of modernelectric installations. Neither automatics nor electronics can ensure powersystem reliable operation without equipment.
Students of this speciality studymathematics, physics, electronics and computer technology. Such traininggives them an opportunity to specialize not only in the field of high-voltageequipment, but also in the field of electrophysical equipment: lasers, accelerators, electric ionizers, etc. Graduates of this speciality work at: power stationelectric shops; insulation service; high voltage equipment service; highvoltage lines service; reliability and accident prevention services; communication services; the largest substations.Electric systems automatic control departmentElectric power is characterized by extremely quick process developmentin electric circuits and it is possible to store it for a long time, e.g.
