The State University of Management (SUM) held a thematic class for 10th- and 11th-grade students, focusing on business development prospects in the fuel and energy sector (FEC) and the fundamentals of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) design. The event was organized as part of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School (AES) project, implemented jointly by SUM and the M.D. Millionshchikov Grozny State Petroleum Technological University.
Before the meeting, Maxim Pletnev, Head of the Scientific Research Coordination Department at the State University of Management, spoke to the students about the extensive work of the RosGeoTech School, focusing on modern trends in energy, automation, and digitalization of the fuel and energy sector.
Andrey Luzhetsky, head of the Advanced Engineering School, addressed the participants with a welcome video message, emphasizing that the modern energy business involves not only resource extraction and processing, but also high technology, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
The central part of the event was a presentation by an energy and digital technology expert, who explained key areas of business development in the fuel and energy sector to schoolchildren: the transition to alternative energy sources, the implementation of smart grids, the use of big data to optimize production and logistics, and the development of hydrogen energy projects.
Particular emphasis was placed on the role of unmanned technologies in the modern energy sector. The students received a detailed explanation of the design of unmanned aerial vehicles, their types, operating principles, and applications in the fuel and energy sector: from monitoring main pipelines and power lines to inspecting industrial facilities and environmental monitoring.
During the practical portion of the class, participants were able to examine drone models, understand their design features, and even try their hand at being operators by piloting drones in simulators.
"Today, drones are more than just flying cameras; they're a vital tool for improving energy efficiency and safety. Understanding the fundamentals of how they work opens up new opportunities for future engineers, entrepreneurs, and managers," the lecturer noted.
The event allowed schoolchildren not only to gain up-to-date knowledge about trends in the fuel and energy sector and unmanned technologies, but also to consider their professional future in one of the most dynamic and technologically advanced sectors of the economy.
