The Department of Energy as a basic teaching-scientific unit of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME) was created by merging several departments in 1994.

The mission of the department is to promote, coordinate and administer teaching and research activities, respecting the academic freedoms of the academic staff and their right to use the material and financial resources available to the department.

Rational use of energy is a topic that over the years has had the main focus of the scientific world, industry and public opinion. There are many reasons underlying this interest: the difficulty of regenerating fossil fuels in the free market, the debate over how to meet growing energy demands, and at the same time reducing the environmental impact of energy conversion processes, as responsible for the emission of greenhouse gases and pollutants.

The Department of Energy at PUT, combining internal expertise with the interdisciplinary approach of institutions operating in the energy sector, provides the right answers to the complexity of the current energy problems of our country. The objective is to ensure a continuous engagement in research and development activities at national and international level, in cooperation with energy sector enterprises, as well as in establishing and strengthening partnerships with other organisations involved in the production and distribution of energy.

Currently the DE has a staff of 14 members, of which 12 are academic staff and 2 are academic support staff. 11 members of the academic staff have scientific degrees and titles and 1 is assistant-lecturer.

The department’s Leaders over the years have been: Artan KODRA, Flamur BIDAJ, Nikolin PEMA, Angjelin SHTJEFNI, Ramadan ALUSHAJ, Altin DORRI.

Within the Department, two teaching-research groups have been set up and are functioning, Thermo-Energy and group of Fluid Machinery and Plants.

DE offers the following study programs:

Bachelor study program in Mechanical Engineering in cooperation with two other departments of FME.

Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Profile Energy (duration 2 years)

Master of Science in Energy Management (duration 2 years)

Professional Master in Mechanical Engineering, Profile Energy (duration 2 years)
