On April 8, NSU opened a Collaborative Work Space for staff and students of the Advanced Engineering School. The new complex, located in the university building, will become a unique platform for scientific and educational initiatives that promote the development of engineering competencies.
The key element of the Space are two fab labs: “Space Instrumentation” and “Chemical Synthesis”. The fab lab “Space Instrumentation” provides students with the opportunity to participate in the development and testing of small spacecraft for the federal project “Sphere” of the state corporation “Roscosmos”. It uses modern equipment for balancing and adjusting space devices.
The Chemical Synthesis FabLab is aimed at student practice in the field of oligonucleotide synthesis and bioengineering. These modern opportunities give NSU undergraduates and students a chance to participate in solving real problems presented by industrial partners and gain valuable practical experience.
The Space has a VR studio designed to visualize geological and geophysical research. Here, students will be able to test, debug projects, and practice their skills in controlling unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) using modern equipment.
— All competence centers — there are six of them in our Advanced Engineering School today — they are aimed specifically at forming teams that are capable of developing, implementing, and realizing advanced tasks. And this is, in fact, the exclusivity of this Advanced Engineering School — this is the merit of the team that works here. The team that has assembled united employees of Novosibirsk University, representatives of scientific organizations of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, our industrial partners, including the largest corporations — Roscosmos, Rostec, Rosatom, Sibur Holding, Gazprom Neft and a number of other regional partners. All of them really closely monitor what is happening, but they do not just observe — they give specific tasks, and students of Novosibirsk University and students of other universities who have become participants in the Advanced Engineering School program successfully cope with their solution, — noted Vice-Governor of the Novosibirsk Region Irina Manuilova.
In addition, the Deputy Governor of the Novosibirsk Region spoke about some figures of the project:
— Over the three years of work, 46 educational programs have been developed within the framework of the PIS, under which 648 students are currently studying. 830 specialists have received unique competencies in six areas of the NSU PIS within the framework of additional education. During this time, 2936 schoolchildren from the Novosibirsk Region and other regions who come here have gone through a variety of pre-professional project-based events — Olympiad tasks and tournaments. Over three years, more than a billion rubles of extra-budgetary funds have been attracted to scientific developments. The opening of new spaces once again confirms the desire to create an environment that facilitates the training of qualified engineering personnel.
Director of NSU PIS Sergey Golovin spoke about the projects being implemented, additional education for schoolchildren and the current structure of NSU PIS and shared his impressions:
— The space we are opening today is a very important step for us. We finally have our own home — a place where students can do their project work, where we can bring our partners and work here with pleasure ourselves.
The demand for the PIS is very high, since two events took place before the opening: a delegation from the Sibur company arrived, and a meeting with a representative of the Roscosmos company took place. I really hope that the number of such events will increase. And through these events, we will involve more and more industrial partners in our interaction, – shared the director of the PIS NSU Sergey Golovin.
The NSU PISH initiative is supported by the Novosibirsk Region Government, which promotes the development of youth engineering education and the creation of laboratories for talented students. Partnership with leading companies such as Rosatom, Roscosmos, Rostec, Sibur Holding and Gazprom Neft opens up broad prospects for professional growth and employment for NSU PISH students and postgraduates.
The Advanced Engineering Schools Program, of which NSU PISH is a part, is aimed at implementing the Decree of the President of Russia and strategic initiatives for the development of engineering education in the country. By 2030, it is planned to increase the number of such schools to 100, transmitting the successful experience of existing schools and ensuring the continuity of educational activities, support for young talents.
