Диагностика на формираната професионална компетентност на бъдещи инженери по енергетика
Diagnostics of the Formed Professional Competence of Future Energy Engineers

Summary/Abstract: Reaching decisions on climate change, energy and resources is tied to expectations for adequate training of energy professionals. The article presents the results of a study of the formed professional competence of graduates from the „Heat Engineering“ bachelor‘s program of TU – Sofia. For this purpose, a toolkit was prepared for diagnosing the level of competence in the engineering ecology course, including four criterion tests for measuring achievements. The levels of formed competence are defined: nominal, functional, procedural and comprehensive competence. A novelty is the inclusion of authentic tasks from the exam for the qualification of the workers of the desulphurization installations in TPP “Maritsa Iztok 2” and “Toplofikatsia – Sliven Eng. Angel Angelov” in the test tasks of the students. The analysis of the results shows that in 28% of the students the professional competence is fully formed, and they are able to solve completely complex professional tasks. Basic technical knowledge and constructive engineering skills are possessed by 30% of students. In 37% of the graduates have developed procedural competence, and 5% of students have superficial factual knowledge that does not successfully manage professional.
