“Heart of the Urals” Advanced Engineering School of Engine Building and Special Equipment has confirmed its high status after successful defence of its project within the frameworks of the “Advanced Engineering Schools” federal program. The program defence was held in Moscow on March 7th.
The university delegation included: Rector of South Ural State University Alexander Wagner; Director of the “Heart of the Urals” Advanced Engineering School Sergey Taran; Chief Engineer of AO Kurgandormash Sergey Kislenko; Head of the Industrial Engines Project at the Ural Diesel Motor Plant Sergey Nefedov; and Director for Development of URAL Automobile Plant Aleksandr Vedernikov.
Upon the defence results, the “Heart of the Urals” Advanced Engineering School took the 6th place in the general ranking and entered the Top 10 of the participants.
The “Heart of the Urals” Advanced Engineering School has been functioning at SUSU for the second year now. The goal of this project is the advanced training of technology leaders in the sector of engine building and special vehicles based on new educational technologies and systems of scientific knowledge generation. At the moment, 392 students are taking training at the Advanced Engineering School. In 2025 it is planned to offer 8 academic programmes for students to enrol in, as well as create new educational spaces and upgrade the laboratories.
“The successful defence in the second stage of the program means that our systemic work has been acknowledged, and that the high level of engineers training in the Chelyabinsk Region has been confirmed. Over the first year, we have created a unique ecosystem, where education, science and production work in a unified rhythm. And the main thing is that we can see how the image of engineers is changing. They are not just specialists at production anymore, they become creators of technologies of the future. And our school provides namely such competences: the interdisciplinary ones, which are focused on responding to global challenges,” noted Sergey Taran, Director of the “Heart of the Urals” Advanced Engineering School.
