The Polytechnic University hosted the College Fest, which brought together more than a hundred students from colleges in St. Petersburg and other regions. The participants completed assignments from teachers and received recommendations on admission and exam preparation. The event became a platform for self-expression and a source of inspiration.
The festival participants were greeted by the Vice-Rector for Pre-University and Further Education of SPbPU Dmitry Tikhonov, the Director of the Civil Engineering Institute Marina Petrochenko, the Acting Director of the Higher School of Public Administration Olga Nadezhina and the Director of the Higher School of Engineering and Economics Dmitry Rodionov.
Over the past few years, the number of applicants who want to enroll with us after receiving secondary vocational education has increased several times. “College Fest” was the first attempt to unite those who strive for knowledge with our university, which is ready to offer educational opportunities. Interesting and useful events await you ahead, which will inspire you and help in your further professional growth, – noted Dmitry Vladimirovich.
Vitaly Drobchik, the responsible secretary of the admissions committee of SPbPU, spoke about the trajectory of admission after college. Artem Egupov, the director of the Center for work with applicants, shared the secrets of preparing for entrance examinations.
The guys solved case tasks from the Polytechnic University teachers. The participants of the case from the Civil Engineering Institute designed an energy-efficient private house for one family. They had to develop the architectural design of the building, calculate the required number of solar panels to ensure energy consumption, draw up an estimate for construction and prepare a visualization of the project. Another task was to create a concept for a video game, its script and the visual component of the game space.
Students who chose the case from the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport were preparing production for the manufacture of a new product. They analyzed various methods of creating a product, chose the best option taking into account the materials used, cost and logistics aspects, and also planned personnel training.
Participants in the case “First Steps in Business” from the Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade were asked to develop and present their own business ideas. Students selected and defended an idea taking into account the market situation, and developed a detailed business plan for its implementation.
The Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications prepared a case in which it was necessary to design a line-of-sight optical communication system for transmitting music from a device with an analog output. To do this, the guys selected suitable materials for optoelectronic devices and created optical pairs for “smart” interacting systems.
The most “delicious” task was a project from the Institute of Biomedical Systems and Biotechnology to create a healthy burger. Participants developed a recipe that should meet the criteria of healthy eating, described the cooking technology, cost price and suggested possible serving options.
The event became an important stage in the formation of a professional community among students of secondary vocational educational institutions. The students exchanged experiences, established useful contacts and learned about the opportunities of the Polytechnic University.
The best teams received diplomas and memorable prizes. The winners of the College Fest were students from the ISPO SPbPU, Malo-Okhtinsky College, the Academy of Transport Technologies, the Volgograd Construction College, Okhtinsky College, the College of Industrial Automation, the College of Information Technologies, the College of SPbGMTU and the St. Petersburg College of Telecommunications.
“College Fest” showed that college and technical school students are actively interested in participating in the university’s career guidance programs. The students’ creative approach to completing various tasks is especially admirable. We are looking forward to meeting all the kids at the next events,” shared Georgy Shkolnik, Acting Director of the Center for Work with Educational Organizations.
