At the State University of Management, schoolchildren were shown how theory becomes technology and how ideas become startups. The master class for 10th- and 11th-grade students was held under the auspices of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School (AES), a project implemented by the M.D. Millionshchikov Grozny State Petroleum Technological University (GSOTU) in collaboration with the State University of Management.
Revived technical thought
Before the master class, Andrey Luzhetsky, Director of the Advanced Engineering School, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. Maxim Pletnev, Head of the Scientific Research Coordination Department at the State University of Management, spoke about the extensive work of the RosGeoTech Advanced Engineering School (1)—a project that covers cutting-edge areas of the Russian economy, including alternative energy, power engineering, the oil and gas industry, and autonomous unmanned and robotic systems.
The future starts now
The central part of the program was a presentation by Nikita Akinshin, a specialist at the Engineering Project Management Center at the State University of Management. "We're not just showing slides," the scientist said. "We're giving a glimpse into real projects that are changing the landscape of today."
Nikita Akinshin spoke about the restoration and extensive modernization of the LUAZ-967M, a Soviet SUV that engineers are transforming into a model of future technology. The vehicle is not only being restored, but also electrified, and equipped with driverless and autonomous control systems.
AI, drones, and anti-drones
A separate topic of the master class was developments in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The students were shown a model of a highly maneuverable, high-speed UAV and a portable anti-drone system designed to protect critical facilities.
Continuing the theme of advanced technologies, Nikita Akinshin discussed the role of artificial intelligence in engineering. He explained the principles of a hybrid decision support system (DSS), which combines machine learning (ML) and large-scale language models (LLM).
"The task of modern engineers is not only to design hardware," emphasized Nikita Akinshin, "but also to create intelligent systems that control this hardware and analyze data. It is at the intersection of these disciplines that the most breakthrough solutions are born."
The masterclass showed the students that engineering isn't some distant place, but here and now. Real-world examples and live interaction with experts helped the participants understand how technologies are born, inspiring creativity and the development of their own ideas.
