2.5.11. Vehicles and technological mobiles and complexes

The purpose of the program is to prepare highly qualified personnel for activities requiring professional training and knowledge in the field of design, research, installation and operation of ground and space transport systems (cars, tractors, special transport vehicles, mobile robots, planetary rovers, etc.) and their aggregates.

The graduate is able to conduct patent search and design materials for obtaining patents, analyze, systematize and summarize information from global computer networks. Able to organize dissertation research and protection of rights to the results of intellectual activity; formulate and solve actual research tasks for solving practical problems in the field of transport engineering, be able to organize safe experimental research taking into account the specifics of enterprises, modify existing and develop new research methods using computer models.

The proposed program is an integral system of learning elements designed to ensure the effective preparation of a graduate student for the upcoming pedagogical activity at the university, as well as for active research activities.

Key Features:

1. The use of advanced design and technological experience of the military and space industry in solving problems of transport engineering;

2. The principle of work at the intersection of disciplines, fields of knowledge (complex solution of problems of transport engineering involving approaches and principles of mechatronics and robotics, decision theory, fuzzy logic methods, etc.);

3. Orientation to projects of high social significance, relevance in the context of current and future tasks of transport engineering;

4. The use of modern methods and means of modeling the operation of mechanisms and systems; computer technologies in the design of components and assemblies of transport and transport-technological machines;

5. Cooperation with enterprises of the machine-building industry engaged in the production of high-tech products and interested in finding and implementing new technical solutions and design methods.

The curriculum contains specialized and auxiliary disciplines; preparation for the candidate's minimum exams in English and the history of science and technology is provided.

Profile disciplines in the curriculum:

• Special issues of calculation and design of transport vehicles
