Academics

 

 

 

Māris Knite, professor, Dr.habil.phys.

  • Physics

"University's main task is to enable students to learn with maximum accuracy and creativity, and to develop the self-confidence that for any problem one can find a solution"

 

 

 

 

 

Edgars Šīrons, leading researcher, Dr.Sc.Hab.Ing

  • General Metrology

"Creative work - science begins where measurements begin. In order to meet the high technical-economic indicators, one must continuous increase the quality - precision."

 

 

Jānis Vība, professor, Dr.Sc.Hab.Ing

  • Theoretical Mechanics

"Theoretical mechanics is based on objective, real-life laws of nature and gives knowledge that are used by other natural sciences and industries"

 

 

Modris Dobelis, professor, Dr.Sc.Ing

  • Descriptive Geometry and Engineering Graphics

"Illustration is worth 1000 words. Technical drawing is also an illustration and engineering people need to understand technical drawing language. Descriptive geometry is the alphabet of this language and provides understanding of how to create even 3D digital models."

 

 

Aleksandrs Januševskis, professor, Dr.Sc.Ing
