Educational Project with Shenyang University of Chemical Technology
(Liaoning Province, China)

Project Overview

The Russian-Chinese educational project between INRTU and Shenyang University of Chemical Technology (SYUCT) has been running since 2018.

Phase I. Since 2018, SYUCT and INRTU have been jointly training highly qualified engineering specialists in the field of energy through an English-taught bachelor's program called Energy and Power Engineering. Students study full-time at SYUCT for four years, following a curriculum approved by INRTU. The program has an enrollment of 60 students per year of study. Graduates receive a state-accredited diploma from SYUCT (recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education) and may apply for master's programs at the INRTU School of Power Engineering.

INRTU provides instruction for more than half of the core professional disciplines, at least one third of the total curriculum. These include:

• Introduction to Energy and Power Engineering

• Principles of Economy

• Engineering Drawing

• Thermal Economy & Enterprise Management

• Engineering Thermodynamics

• Mechanics of Materials

• Engineering Fluid Mechanics

• Engineering Materials

• Mechanical Principle I

• Mechanical Principle II

• Heat and Mass Transfer

• Elementary Theory of Energy & Combustion

• Tolerance and Measurement Technology

• Boiler and Steam Generator

• Heat Supply System and Heat Source

• Compressor

• Vocational Psychology

• Life Science and Safety Engineering

• Lectures on Frontiers of Energy and Power Engineering

• Steam Turbine Principle

• Metrology, Automation and Measurement Technology of Heat Engineering Process

• Heat Exchange Equipment of Power Plant

Phase II. Thanks to the successful implementation of the project, in 2025 SYUCT and INRTU launched a new dual-degree networked program to replace the existing one. The program leads to a bachelor's degree in Thermal Power Engineering and Heat Technology (specialization: Technologies and Engineering in Thermal Power Engineering). It is a four-year, full-time, English-taught bachelor's program delivered under a "4+0" model (students remain at SYUCT for the entire duration). In 2025, 116 Chinese citizens were admitted to the first year of study, with an annual intake target of 120 students. Graduates will receive a diploma from SYUCT (recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education) and a bachelor's degree from INRTU in Thermal Power Engineering and Heat Technology. As with Phase I, INRTU provides instruction for more than half of the core professional disciplines, at least one third of the total curriculum.
