The Institute of Secondary Vocational Education at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is now accepting applications for two new programs that successfully completed the licensing process in 2026.

Now, ISPO students will be able to obtain in-demand specialties in material flow management and high-tech automated systems. We have modern facilities for training students. The creation of a new robotics workshop is currently in the active phase," said ISPO Director Roman Baibikov.

02/15/10 "Mechatronics and Robotics (by Industry)"

This program trains specialists capable of servicing, adjusting, and programming modern mechatronic and robotic systems. The program's main partners are two companies: MGBot and ISRobotics.

Collaboration with MGBot will allow students to gain practical skills in working with YoTik 32 controllers, sensors, and actuators. This is the equipment used today to build automation systems for Industry 4.0.

ISRobotics, led by CEO Nikolai Shadrin, also became a strategic partner of ISPO in developing an educational program in "Mechatronics and Robotics (by Industry)." This collaboration aims to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and the real-world needs of high-tech industries.

Modern robotics is developing so rapidly that textbooks simply can't keep up with the emergence of new technologies. Our goal isn't simply to provide lecture material, but to impart to students experience working with real hardware and industrial software that they will encounter in enterprises immediately after graduation. We're interested in ensuring that secondary vocational education graduates enter production as prepared professionals, capable of thinking outside the box and solving engineering problems, commented Nikolai Shadrin.

This program will allow students to master equipment used in a variety of industries, from mechanical engineering and the aerospace industry to electrical equipment manufacturing and smart agriculture. Graduates will earn the qualification of "Mechatronics and Robotics Specialist" and will be in demand at companies implementing automated production lines and industrial robots.

38.02.03 "Operational activities in logistics"

The program is designed to train specialists in the planning, organization, and control of goods and cargo flows. Students will learn how to manage procurement, inventory, transportation, and warehousing. Graduates are awarded the qualification of "Operational Logistician." This broad-based specialist can work in transportation companies and the purchasing and supply departments of manufacturing and retail companies. The logistician's responsibilities include optimizing company costs, rationally allocating resources, and effectively managing supply chains.

Traditionally, SPbPU's Graduate School of Industrial Management (IPSM), under the direction of Professor Olga Kalinina, successfully delivers logistics training in higher education. Over the years, dozens of students have been trained in the undergraduate and graduate programs, two laboratories have been opened, numerous projects have been implemented, including at the Sirius Educational Center, and victories have been achieved in various logistics competitions and olympiads. I sincerely hope that at our college, we will be able to build a learning process that is not only effective, utilizing the most advanced information technologies and simulations, but also engaging and engaging for students, just like at GSPM," says Irina Zaychenko, Head of the Educational Programs Directorate.

The launch of new programs at the college meets the needs of the modern labor market, which is in high demand for qualified specialists and engineers. Studying at the Polytechnic University, renowned for its strong engineering school, provides ISPO graduates with a solid foundation that will give them a competitive advantage in employment and for further professional growth.

The first stream of an online educational course has been completed at the Civil Engineering Institute of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. Architectural designIt is being implemented on the national Open Education platform. The course was developed by Alexandra Zatsepin, a senior lecturer at the Institute of Civil Engineering and a member of the Union of Architects, with the support of the SPbPU Open Education Center and major developers—PJSC Samolet Group of Companies and Brusnika LLC. Over 300 students completed the program in the first cohort. The next cohort is scheduled to begin on March 30, 2026.

The main objective of the course is to explore modern trends in multi-apartment building design. Students learn to develop space-planning solutions that take into account urban planning constraints, ergonomic principles, safety, and accessibility.

The program includes four modules: "Building Placement on a Site," "Space Planning Solutions for Multi-Story Residential Buildings," "Enclosing Structures," and "Preparing Design Documentation in Accordance with Resolution No. 87." The theoretical portion consists of video lectures, longreads, interviews with partner company experts, test assignments, and a final certification test. The practical portion involves completing assignments and working on a multi-apartment building project.

The course utilized materials from partner companies. Samolet Group provided information on methods for creating courtyard areas, designing modern playgrounds and sports fields, landscaping, and creating utility infrastructure. The company also provided a database of standard section plans, sample layouts for apartments and individual spaces, such as bathrooms and kitchen areas, and sample design briefs. Brusnika provided albums of actual projects, solutions for underground parking and first-floor layouts, and access to photographs of completed projects.

The course is unique in that it includes exclusive interviews with representatives of partner companies. This allows students to gain insight into real-world design practices, explore current solutions, and examine case studies from leading construction industry experts. In an interview, Ekaterina Blagodar, chief architect of Samolet Group projects, discusses apartment layout trends, housing classifications, the impact of insolation and utilities on design, and the use of standard solutions in floor plan development. Konstantin Ustinov, chief engineer of Samolet Group projects, discusses the distribution of parking spaces between above-ground and underground parking, compliance with landscaping regulations, the design stages of underground parking entrances, and waste collection. Darya Batalova, head of the architecture department at Brusnika, shares her experience designing ground floors and underground parking garages in two interviews.

At Brusnika, we're happy to share our accumulated knowledge. In a project with the Civil Engineering Institute, we served as experts and helped supplement the theoretical portion of the course with practical examples. "In fields like urban planning or architecture, this is essential, as pure theory is significantly disconnected from what graduates encounter in the workplace," noted Daria Batalova, head of the architecture department at Brusnika.

Such partnerships are certainly the future. St. Petersburg Polytechnic University provides effective teaching methods and a structured theoretical framework, while industry experts provide practical experience and expertise. I sincerely thank my colleagues for their participation in creating the course: with their help, it was both useful and relevant! I am confident our collaboration will continue—we are already discussing practice-oriented topics for final theses for students at the Institute of Civil Engineering, emphasized the course's author, Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Civil Engineering, Alexandra Zatsepina.
