Attracting talented young people to high–tech enterprises has been an important recent task. Nizhny Novgorod State Technical University has long established strong cooperation with the real sector of the economy. This was stated by Sergey Dmitriev, Rector of the Alekseev NSTU, at a round table with Olga Petrova, Minister of Education, Science and Youth Policy of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, held as part of the Marathon of Education information project.

From the third year at the enterprise

 

–Every future engineer should have not only fundamental knowledge, but also practical knowledge," says Sergey Dmitriev, rector of the Technical University. – Therefore, the university's interaction with the real sector of the economy and scientific organizations is very important. We are lucky that there are many high-tech enterprises in our city, and almost every one has our basic department, where students from the third year study. Lectures to them, along with teachers, are read by employees of the company. If necessary, we can provide an individual educational trajectory.

Industrial enterprises themselves give all the tasks for the final qualification work to future engineers. We have a practice-oriented method where teams from different institutes work at the enterprise. Then these projects are implemented in production.
 
This approach is paying off. According to Sergey Dmitriev, students of the Technical university regularly take prizes at international and Russian engineering competitions.
 
"For the third year in a row, our student team has won first place at the famous international engineering Case In the Digital Atom Engineering Championship," notes Sergey Dmitriev. – Moreover, these teams are different in composition, and they receive different tasks. This year, for example, in two days they created a mobile application for the personnel services of Rosatom State Corporation enterprises. The application takes into account the psychological characteristics of a person and allows young people who come to the company to adapt quickly.
 
Recently, the R. E. Alekseev NSTU signed an agreement with 16 Russian universities to participate in the creation of the National Center for Physics and Mathematics, and the university also participates in joint research within the framework of consortia.
 
Theory plus practice
 
The first wave of the pandemic, when all education was transferred to a distance learning format, did not take Nizhny Novgorod Technical University by surprise.
– According to the development program of the flagship university, we have updated the material and technical base, - says Sergey Dmitriev. – Rosatom State Corporation helped, even before the pandemic, it supplied us with a set of programs that we quickly redesigned. Now classes are held in a mixed format.
 
I haven't fully retired from the university since April last year – as Sergey Dmitriev says, "you can't teach an engineer at a desk." Therefore, even in the first wave of the pandemic, laboratory classes were conducted in real mode, only lectures were conducted remotely. Now NSTU named after Alekseev is working in a mixed mode. International students from China and some students from Central Asia and the Middle East study remotely. By the way, the university, on behalf of Rosatom, is the main university for training personnel for small and medium-power nuclear power plants. The lectures of this course, as well as the Oil and Gas Business program, are given by polytechnic University teachers to international students in English.
 
– Our task is to provide fundamental education, – says Olga Petrova, Minister of Education, Science and Youth Policy of the region. – And the technical university copes with this task perfectly. The most sought–after professions today are physics and mathematics, engineering, IT, foreign languages, construction, and pedagogy. Education in these areas is guaranteed to give you a job to build your future.

By the way, this year applicants will get a lot of variability in the choice of exams and directions within the university.
