For 37 years, the Scientific Production Institute "Educational Equipment and Technology" has been operating at SUSU. During this time, the Institute has become a leader in the development, production and supply of high-tech educational equipment for universities, colleges, technical schools, lyceum schools of Russia and the CIS countries. The Institute is headed by Professor, Ph.D. in Technical Sciences Georgy Illarionovich Kalyagin. On the basis of the educational materials of the Institute, in the framework of the national project "Education", 25 resource centers have been established on the basis of SUSU in the basic areas of vocational training, as well as the research production complex "The Russian Education Industry".   Each year, 30-40 samples of innovative products are created here that can compete on the global educational market of intellectual labour. In 2013,SUSU developed the following innovative samples: simulator "Crane operator"; simulator "Excavator operator"; simulator "Aircaft pilot"; simulator "Hot rolling mill operator" (introduced at Sinarsky pipe plant); simulator "Automated gas boiler house"; simulator "Heat and gas dynamics of the launch complex of "Proton rockets" (Baikonur); simulator "Automated pasta factory"; laboratory complex "Digital substation" and others. The Institute has developed about 3,000 laboratories and their modifications, including more than 1000 high-tech ones (booths, emulators, modules of training equipment, etc.), so far. Every year, the Institute carries out about 500-600 deliveries of its products to various educational institutions. In 2007, SUSU was involved in the implementation of the nation-wide project "Education". Two years later, on a competitive basis, the university received a federal grant for the implementation of the innovative educational program "Energy and Resource-Saving Technologies". In 2008, the University got a grand prix in the competition for innovative solutions and was recognized as the best among the universities participating in the national project "Education" in the field of logistic and maintenance support of educational institutions. In the framework of the "Education" project, the Supercomputer Modeling Laboratory (headed by Leonid Borisovich Sokolinsky), the research and educational centers "Nanotechnology" (headed by Vyacheslav Viktorovich Avdin) and "Mechanical Engineering" (headed by Ramil Agzamovich Zakirov), the Center for collective use in energy and energy efficiency were created. In April 2010, SUSU became one of 15 universities in Russia, which were awarded the status of "National Research University". From this moment, a new period in SUSU development has begun in more severe competition conditions of rankings, globalization, market relations in the sphere of intellectual services. In the framework of the NRU, the supercomputer center and the REC "Nanotechnologies" were additionally equipped, and the REC "Mechanical Engineering" was refined.  In the framework of the National Research University, new research and educational centers and laboratories were established at SUSU: REC "Composite materials and structures" (headed by Aleksandr Bezhanovich Shirokov, director of the Project Management Center). SEC "Experimental Mechanics" (headed by Ph.D. Pavel Aleksandrovich Taranenko). Laboratory of Physical Modeling of Thermomechanical Processes (headed by Mikhail Igorevich Gaslenko). These are the largest, key centers. In total, there are 40 research and educational centers and laboratories at SUSU. Research and educational centers are designed to solve complex problems: 1. Implementation of scientific research at a global scale. For this purpose, unique long term operation equipment was bought, which allows carrying out innovative developments. This equipment is in a single copy not only in Russia, but also abroad; 2. Organization of educational activities, training of students (bachelors, masters, PhD students) using modern research complexes. This gives students an opportunity to unlock their scientific potential, working on unique equipment under the supervision of highly professional teachers and scientists. As a result, the university priority development fields were identified: Energy saving in the social sphere, Rational use of resources and energy in metallurgy, Energy and resource-efficient technologies in diesel engine manufacturing for armored and engineering vehicles, Resource-efficient technologies for the development and operation of sea-launched ballistic missile complexes, Supercomputer and grid technologies for solving energy and resource-saving problems. By the Government decree No. 218 ("On Measures of State Support for Cooperation of Russian Higher Education Institutions and Organizations for the Implementation of Complex Projects in High-Tech Production" dated April 9, 2012), SUSU together with FSUE Plant "Pribor" designed an intelligent automated technological complex of buildings heat and energy systems control. In the course of the project implementation, the following projects were developed: Unattended technology of a building power supply control on the basis of digital wireless data transmission; Automated climate control system in the apartment on the basis of individual adjustment; Block-modular heat point with intelligent control and regulation devices; The system of automated balancing of intra-house networks taking into account the thermal state of the building. The demand for these developments is determined by the fact that their implementation will reduce the total annual consumption of heat energy to 30%, and will also automatically provide reliable information on heat energy consumption for heat generation planning and market regulation. In 2013, SUSU won contests for three more projects: 1. In cooperation with JSC "Chelyabinsk Radio Plant "Polet" it is planned to develop software and hardware for landing aircraft of civil aviation under unfavorable meteorological conditions. 2. In 2013-2015, REC "Experimental Mechanics" was involved in implementation of research and development work on the comprehensive project "Creation of high-tech manufacturing of a model range of energy-efficient low-floor tramcars of modular design" in cooperation with the branch of Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center the Federal State Unitary Enterprise S.
