The Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU “Digital Engineering” has opened a new recruitment of students for the first unique online course in Russia “Digital Twins of Products”, dedicated to the development and application of digital twins of products in the high-tech industry.
The online course was prepared jointly with the SPbPU Open Education Center as part of the implementation of the Priority 2030 strategic academic leadership program. Training will begin on February 3, 2025, on the national educational platform Open Education.
The online course program is aimed at developing understanding, knowledge and skills on the following relevant topics:
the main approaches and options for defining the term “digital twin of a product”; the basics of developing, verifying and validating mathematical, computer and digital models; the procedure for forming a multi-level system of requirements and target indicators of a high-tech product; the basics of conducting digital (virtual) tests of a product, including digital tests using digital (virtual) test benches and testing grounds on a software and technology platform (digital platform); features of ensuring two-way information links between a digital twin and a product.
The online course lectures cover general theoretical principles that ensure the creation and application of a digital twin of a product, elements of digital twins and key terms in this area. The program is aimed at studying the main provisions GOST R 57700.37–2021 “Computer models and modeling. DIGITAL TWINS OF PRODUCTS. General provisions”, intended primarily for use in the high-tech mechanical engineering industry and related industries.
The online course “Digital Twins of Products” consists of 16 topics, combined into 4 modules. Each topic contains a video lecture lasting 7-15 minutes and materials for independent study by students:
presentation (5-10 slides); notes (10-15 pages); glossary (5-15 terms and definitions); additional literature (2-5 sources).
The training intensity is 72 academic hours (approximate duration of training is 16 weeks with classes of 4-5 academic hours per week).
The authors of the course are the main developers of the national standard of the Russian Federation GOST R 57700.37–2021 “Computer models and modeling. DIGITAL DOUBLES OF PRODUCTS. General provisions”.

Who will benefit from the online course “Digital Twins of Products”:
systems engineers, research engineers, calculation engineers, design engineers, process engineers, operating engineers, developers of complex high-tech products in various industries; senior and middle managers responsible for the development and implementation of digital transformation strategies, changing business processes and business models of enterprises through the introduction of digital technologies; students, postgraduates and teachers of technical universities; a wide range of people with higher professional education (starting with a bachelor’s degree), interested in theoretical and practical issues of developing advanced digital and production technologies.
A complete list of areas of training for masters, specialists and postgraduates who may be interested in the online course “Digital Twins of Products” is given below.
The new intake is already the sixth since the course was launched. The fifth intake completed its training in December 2024. Based on the results of all the intakes, 5,609 students from 6 countries and 223 cities in Russia and neighboring countries registered for the course.
These are employees and students of engineering specialties from 169 research centers and universities, as well as specialists from 54 high-tech companies. As their areas of activity, the students noted mechanical engineering, finite element modeling, energy, electrical engineering, oil production, construction and BIM technologies, polymeric materials, programming, pedagogy, regulatory control and others. 1,717 people successfully completed the training, as a result of which they received a certificate of advanced training from SPbPU and / or an electronic certificate of the national educational platform “Open Education” on completion of the course.
According to the results of surveys conducted after each release, 93% of students are ready to recommend this course to their friends and colleagues. They noted the depth of development and high-quality design of the training materials, the accessibility of the information. The video lecture format was recognized as very successful, allowing training at a convenient time without interrupting work.
Feedback left by students following the fifth launch of the course:
I found answers to questions that had been bothering me for a long time, namely, I understood what a “digital twin” is. The topic is very well covered. I also liked that many terms were given in English. An excellent high-level overview of digital twin development tools. I feel proud that our country is actively moving in such a promising direction as “digital twins” and offers competitive solutions. I really liked the whole course. Useful and interesting. Thanks to all the creators and organizers.
Upon successful completion of the midterm and final testing on the national platform “Open Education”, a certificate of completion of the online course and/or a certificate of advanced training from SPbPU is issued.
