An intensive internship under the additional professional development program “Practical Innovations and Strategic Development of Industrial R” was successfully completed at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.
The participants were winners of the "Engineer of the Year" competition held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Tatarstan. This first offline program, offering full immersion in the SPbPU research environment, brought together 34 promising specialists from 12 Tatarstan industrial sectors.
The audience was divided into three industry groups. The first group included specialists from mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing, instrument making, radio electronics, and communications. The second group included representatives from the oil, gas, chemical, and energy industries. The third group included experts from construction, transportation, consumer goods manufacturing, wood processing, pulp and paper, and food industries.
On the first day, Dmitry Tikhonov, Vice-Rector for Continuing and Pre-University Education at SPbPU, welcomed the participants. Sergey Salkutsan, Director of the Center for Continuing Professional Education at the Digital Engineering School, gave a lecture on cutting-edge scientific and engineering developments and personnel training. Mars Khasanov, Director of Science at Gazprom Neft, also gave a lecture on reverse engineering in mechanical engineering production.
The next stage of the program was the practical part. Each industry group visited several leading SPbPU engineering centers and partner companies. The routes were designed taking into account the participants' professional interests.
The first group learned about developments in additive manufacturing, digitalization, and new materials. Participants visited the Russian-Chinese Scientific and Educational Center for Additive Technologies, the Industrial Data Stream Processing Systems laboratory at the PIS CI, the Scientific and Educational Center for Structural and Functional Materials, and the Scientific and Technical Center and Digital Transformation Center "Tsifergauz" of Gazprom Neft. They also visited the Radar MMS Research and Production Enterprise.
The second group delved into digital modeling and data analysis. They were given tours of SPbPU's specialized laboratories: "Digital Modeling of Industrial Systems" at the Industrial School and "Digital Modeling of Underground Oil and Gas Reservoirs and Well-Test Analysis" at the Gazpromneft-Polytech Scientific and Educational Center. The participants also visited the Gazprom Neft Scientific and Technical Center and Zifergauz, as well as the UEC-Klimov plant.
The third group explored the application of modern technologies in their field. Their program included visits to the St. Petersburg State Public Institution "Directorate of Transport Construction," SIMETRA GROUP, Baltika Breweries, and S. M. Kirov Petroleum Company. In addition, the group members, like their colleagues, visited Gazprom Neft's Scientific and Technical Center and the Zifergauz Center, as well as the Industrial Stream Data Processing Systems laboratory at the PIS.
On the final day, Alexey Borovkov, Chief Designer for the Scientific and Technological Department at SPbPU, delivered a lecture entitled "Digital Engineering: The Foundation of Technological Leadership." A roundtable discussion on the development of the innovation ecosystem was also held with Shamil Shayakhmetov, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Tatarstan to St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
The program concluded with a summing up of the results and a ceremonial presentation of certificates of advanced training.
