Student Science Days Held during the Polytechnic Institute Week

Days of Student Science of the Polytechnic Institute contest was held at South Ural State University.

Student Science Day of the Polytechnic Institute is a contest which was held for the first time in each of the 5 faculties. In this contest, post-graduate students and Master’s students from the departments of each faculty – 22 people – presented the results of their research work. The audience for this contest included students of the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th years of studies with potential for self-realization in the field of scientific creativity. They had an opportunity to choose the most interesting research projects for them, so that they could join the research under them afterwards. The student audience included more than 100 people.

“Thanks to such events we are trying to bring all students with relevant interests and skills into research work. We demonstrate the accomplishments of our best post-graduate students and Master’s students, present the results of their work in various forms, and popularize student projects,” says Deputy Director for Extracurricular Activities of the Polytechnic Institute, Milena Volkova.

The contest jury evaluated the participants’ work against such criteria as:

• Substantiation of relevance of the research;

• Scientific novelty;

• Practical significance;

• Theoretical significance and clarity of presentation of the research results.

The student audience also took part in evaluating the presenters through individual voting.

The winners of this faculty contest will pass to the second round and will be representing their Institute at the university’s Student Science Day in the Sigma building on March 28th at 15:30.

We should remind you that March 12th through 18th the week dedicated to the Polytechnic Institute is being held at South Ural State University, and students and teaching staff take part in themed events aimed at forming a corporate culture for SUSU students and staff.
