2.5.2. Machine science

Machine science, drive systems and machine parts is a science that studies mechanical engineering objects and processes that affect the technical condition of these objects; develops theory, methods of calculation and design of machines, drive systems, components and machine parts, regardless of their industry affiliation and purpose, in order to improve existing and create new machines and mechanisms of high performance, durability and reliability, manufacturability, low material consumption and cost, having competitiveness in the world market. Therefore, this educational program is relevant.

The program is aimed at training highly qualified scientific and scientific-pedagogical personnel in the field of mechanical engineering who have the ability to conduct:

- research of processes affecting the technical condition of engineering facilities, ways of managing these processes;

- design of machines and mechanisms, drive systems, components and machine parts;

- ensuring the reliability of engineering facilities;

- research and evaluation of the technical condition of mechanical engineering facilities, including on the basis of computer modeling;

- improving the accuracy and reliability of calculations of engineering facilities;

- development of a regulatory framework for the design, testing and manufacture of engineering facilities;

- development of the fundamental provisions of related and related fields of science in relation to the research, design and calculations of engineering facilities;

- development of computer-aided design systems for engineering facilities based on more advanced models of the functioning and technical condition of these facilities;

- creation of machines and mechanisms based on new physical effects and phenomena.

Key Features:

A feature of the program is its basing on the many years of experience available in the department for the training of research specialists for mechanical engineering. At the same time, the educational program provides for participation in the creation of new machines and mechanisms with high productivity, durability and reliability, manufacturability, low material consumption and cost, which are competitive on the world market not only in mechanical engineering, but also in other areas.
