Lecture by Marina Egorova

Representatives of the Faculty of Economics and Management at SPbGASU—Deputy Dean for Educational Work, Senior Lecturer Marina Egorova and Associate Professor Yuri Tsvetkov—participated in the All-Russian educational campaign "Share Your Knowledge" organized by the Russian Society "Knowledge."

The country's largest educational campaign, "Share Your Knowledge," has been launched for a wide audience: experts, teachers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and specialists from various fields. Interactive lectures and quizzes for each topic are freely available on the campaign platform.

"We decided to join this initiative to diversify our interactions with students in extracurricular activities. A total of eleven interactive lectures and quizzes on various topics were given to first-year students, creating a lively and productive dialogue. The country's history and the protection of its interests, Russia's electoral system and the role of citizens in it, space, the Ready for Labor and Defense (GTO), healthy eating, and public speaking are just some of the lectures and quizzes we selected. All the material is presented in informative presentations, engaging and memorable. This model of interaction with students not only expands their diverse knowledge but also builds and improves communication, removing barriers in their interactions with each other and with their teachers. It also helps first-year students adapt more easily," explained Marina Egorova.

She emphasized that the effectiveness of this initiative was also due to the fact that teachers were able to supplement many topics with information about the opportunities the university offers students. As a reminder, information about all projects and initiatives, as well as various events of the Russian Society "Knowledge," can be found on its official website.

The SPbGASU Project-Based Learning Educational Center (PBCEC) has launched an optional course, "Project-Based Activities," giving students the unique opportunity to work on real-world projects and receive consultations from industry experts.

What makes this elective unique?

On September 24, an organizational meeting of participants was held, at which the OCPO staff explained the implementation of the elective course and answered questions from students and partners.

This is a new format for the university, bringing together students from various fields of study, industry partners, and SPbGASU faculty.

"First and foremost, I'd like to thank the faculty and students for their willingness to embrace new learning formats and their trust in the university as the organizer," noted Vice Rector for Continuing Education Victoria Vinogradova. She also thanked the university's partners, who provide students with the opportunity to work on real-world projects and provide consultations and expert support.

The uniqueness of this elective lies in the opportunity for students to complete projects based on technical specifications from industry partners and use them in their final theses. Furthermore, this is an excellent opportunity to establish themselves with potential employers.

Participants in the elective will work in teams supervised by SPbGASU faculty and university partners. Project defenses are scheduled for December.

"Many of the projects proposed by our partners are innovative and can be considered a challenge even for practicing professionals. We hope that the students will be able to use the experience they gain in their final theses and in their future professional careers," said Victoria Vinogradova.

"The elective will also serve as a recruiting platform where students and employers can get to know each other," added Inna Sukhanova, Director of the Project-Based Learning Educational Center at SPbGASU.

How the work process is structured

"The optional course 'Project-Based Activities' includes weekly theoretical lectures hosted in the LMS Moodle online course management system, workshops from partners, and consultations with instructors and industry experts on specific topics," explained Inna Sukhanova.

The university mentor's responsibilities include developing an individual activity plan, overseeing preparation for the current assessment, and collaborating with an industry expert to determine the final product. This is the first time the elective has been held, and the organizers are considering all communication and work formats. Therefore, they encourage collaborative learning to ensure the elective is successful.

Teams work on diverse projects, and each student can choose a topic that interests them. The elective program includes 20 projects from 14 partners (LenOblAHMK, StroyKraft, Concern Titan-2, SPb GKU GCRPO, Metropolis LLC, SPbGASU, Glavstroy-SPb, Ridan Trade, Sysoft Development, Setl Stroy, Setl City Architectural Bureau, NIP AQUAEFFECT, SPb GUP Passazhiravtotrans, and Gazprom Proektirovanie).

Ksenia Shapovalova, a fourth-year student majoring in Industrial and Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, believes that project work is a great opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary team and see the project process from conception to implementation.

"I was interested not only in the project work and interaction with the industry, but also in the opportunity to implement the completed project. It's wonderful to see the building you planned completed. Especially since my experience with the industry is currently limited to internships. I hope that by the time I graduate, I'll be able to significantly expand this experience thanks to the elective," Ksenia shared her expectations.

SPbGASU once again joined the "Universities for the Front" campaign, organized by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The Youth Policy Department initiated a collection of aid for SVO participants and organized the delivery of the supplies to the general collection point.

University faculty and staff assembled catalytic heaters, camouflage nets, thermal underwear, a chainsaw, and a universal mini-oven.

The students participated in the "Warmth" initiative, which involved making trench candles. The initiative was initiated by Andrey Nikulin, Dean of the Civil Engineering Faculty, and Anna Tsarenko, his deputy for educational work. Nadezhda Talash, a specialist in the Department for the Protection of State Secrets, supervised the students' work. The candle-making process was labor-intensive: the students first made cardboard blanks in tin cans for paraffin filling, then heated the paraffin in the laboratory and poured it into the molds. Forty-seven trench candles were produced. The students also handcrafted talismans for the soldiers and wrote them letters of support.

Vice-Rector for Youth Policy Marina Malyutina and Head of the Youth Policy Department Irina Nuryeva thanked all participants of the event and visited the Faculty of Automobile and Road Engineering, where another humanitarian aid collection point had been set up. Thanks to the efforts of master's students Oleg Shidov, Andrey Ulyashov, and Anastasia Petrova, the students collected supplies for the soldiers, including camouflage nets, thermal underwear, trench candles, a diesel generator, and much more.

Humanitarian aid from our university's staff and students has arrived at the single collection point for aid for participants in the Secondary Military District and residents of new regions, collected by educational organizations. It operates on the campus of the National Research University "MPEI" in Moscow. From MPEI, the latest batch of aid has been sent by convoy to the front lines.

At the Department of Technosphere Safety at SPbGASU, senior lecturer Nadezhda Subbotina completed a research project on "Improving the Occupational Safety of Workers Performing Work at Height in the Construction Industry by Improving the Safe Behavior Model." The study was conducted as part of a grant competition for research projects by academic staff at the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in 2025.

Numerous studies have shown a correlation between the number of hazardous actions by workers and the incidence of serious industrial accidents. Therefore, to reduce injuries and improve occupational safety when working at height, it is necessary to address the root cause of the problem—keeping records of hazardous actions by workers. Nadezhda Subbotina proposed a method for assessing the occupational risk of workers working at height, based on identifying the most severe hazardous actions and monthly recalculating the occupational risk level for the hazard of falling from a height.

To rank the severity of the consequences of various hazardous actions when working at height, expert opinions were collected and accident investigations were analyzed. If an employee commits a critical number of hazardous actions within a year, they are suspended from work and sent to unscheduled training in safe working practices at height.

To assess the effectiveness of occupational safety training, the researcher developed a questionnaire and assessment to determine workers' perceptions of hazards and their level of retained knowledge on occupational safety. An analysis of the questionnaire revealed that workers did not find the training valuable. A knowledge retention assessment revealed that workers' knowledge declined by more than 30% within three to six months of the last occupational safety training. A decline in retained knowledge may indicate insufficient employee motivation, a lack of practical application of the material covered, or that the training was insufficiently effective.

The study also revealed that on construction sites, the priority of completing production tasks is often placed above personal safety. Improving the priority of personal safety issues can be achieved by changing approaches to occupational safety training. This requires moving away from formal training and incorporating simulated consequences of violations and accident simulations into employee training. To improve the quality of safety training, it is necessary to implement practice-oriented approaches, such as interactive workshops and accident simulations. The "Smart Work" Training Center at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering offers training using such innovative methods. These methods take into account psychological aspects and allow employees to more deeply absorb safety knowledge, thereby fostering safe behavior in the workplace.

As a result of the research work, articles were prepared for publication in journals included in the list of the Higher Attestation Commission.

General view of the installation

Mikhail Zhavoronkov, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Construction Materials Technology and Metrology (TSMM) at SPbGASU, completed the research project "Development and Validation of a Direct Test Method for the Adhesion Strength of Synthetic Macrofibers to a Matrix" as part of a grant competition for research projects by SPbGASU academic staff in 2025.

Compared to traditional concrete and reinforced concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete boasts higher flexural tensile strength, improved crack resistance, and impact resistance. However, the use of this building material is limited by inadequate testing methods. This problem is compounded by the ever-expanding range of manufactured fibers.

Regulatory documents governing the design methods of fiber-reinforced concrete structures often include the fiber-matrix adhesion strength of fiber-reinforced concrete. In some cases, it is assumed that this characteristic can be determined from a specialized reference book. Unfortunately, such reference books are not comprehensive or comprehensive.

Specifically for this study, the Department of Concrete Structural Mechanics and Mathematics developed a setup for determining the fiber-matrix adhesion strength using a direct method. This setup consists of a loading device and a system of sensors that monitor displacements and the applied load. During testing, individual fibers are extracted from concrete specimens, after which diagrams are plotted showing the dependence of fiber displacements on the applied forces. The resulting diagrams are used to calculate the fiber-matrix adhesion strength. Furthermore, the dependence of fiber-matrix adhesion strength on the matrix composition and the depth of embedment was determined.

The results of these tests contribute to the accumulation of statistical and reference data that can be used in the design of fiber-reinforced concrete structures and provide a more complete understanding of the behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete under load. Furthermore, the developed methodology and setup can be used for further studies of the adhesion strength of other fiber matrices and can also be applied in laboratory work in relevant disciplines.

Evgeniya Shuvaeva, Associate Professor of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering, completed a research project titled "Estates of the High Nobility in Remote Districts of the St. Petersburg Province in the 18th – Early 20th Centuries." The study was conducted as part of a grant competition for research projects by faculty members of the St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering in 2025.

This paper examines the historic estate complexes of the St. Petersburg province to identify their distinctive features, as well as potential for preservation and contemporary use. It analyzes the landscape and geographic aspects of the estate territories' locations, identifies patterns in the formation of the complexes' compositional and planning structure, analyzes functional planning zones, identifies the relative positions of the objects under study, and identifies the main areas of estate settlement.

In addition, general proposals for the preservation and modern use of the type of objects under study were formulated, and specific design solutions were developed.

The research can be continued in the form of a more detailed study of estate complexes of an expanded typological series (imperial, grand ducal, ordinary noble, merchant) for comparison with the estates of the highest nobility and a comprehensive study of the influence of this type of objects on the formation of the historical St. Petersburg province.

As a result of the research work, two articles were published in journals included in the Higher Attestation Commission list.

On September 25, Russian Minister of Science and Higher Education Valery Falkov paid a working visit to SPbGASU. The delegation also included Vice Governor of St. Petersburg Vladimir Knyaginin and Chairman of the Committee on Science and Higher Education of the St. Petersburg Administration Andrei Maksimov. The guests were greeted by SPbGASU Rector Evgeny Rybnov.

During the working meeting, Evgeny Rybnov discussed the results of the recent admissions campaign and the university's development priorities. Specifically, they discussed the importance of intensively implementing innovations in the educational process. The minister was briefed on the university's rapidly developing disciplines related to information modeling technologies and their integration into all areas of study.

The minister was informed that SPbGASU operates a project center where student teams work on real projects commissioned by industry partners. This allows students to gain experience in teamwork, become familiar with current industry challenges, and establish connections within the professional community.

Valery Falkov was presented with two exhibitions dedicated to the achievements of SPbGASU. One of them highlights the university's work as a center for training restorers. According to Nadezhda Akulova, Acting Head of the Department of Architectural and Urban Heritage, success in this area is due to a comprehensive approach: not only architectural and artistic aspects but also the technological aspects necessary when working with cultural heritage sites are studied. Students and graduates of the university have participated in the restoration of every second cultural heritage site in St. Petersburg, including such significant projects as the Chinese Palace in Oranienbaum, the Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt, Kazan Cathedral, and St. Michael's Castle, she explained.

The second exhibition is dedicated to a crucial area for our country: the development of Arctic cities and territories, and the creation of a comfortable urban environment and tourism infrastructure in the Arctic zone. The head of the department was able to view over 40 works by architecture students, created as a result of research and expeditions to the Arkhangelsk Region, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, and the Kola Peninsula. According to Alexandra Eremeeva, Associate Professor of the Architectural Design Department, these works were presented to regional administrations, and some were recommended for implementation.

At the "Opportunity Fair" festival, Valery Falkov spoke with students. This event introduces first-year students to the university's extracurricular activities, including student government, sports, creative, and other leisure associations, and the student brigade movement. The students told the minister about the work of the "Kirpich" Student Leisure and Creativity Center, which has for many years housed a media center, the "Est Vkontakte!" discussion project, a photo studio, theater and dance groups, a KVN team, and much more.

In addition, the delegation members visited the scientific and technical library of SPbGASU, where Valery Falkov examined rare editions, in particular, a 16th-century textbook on descriptive geometry, as well as theses of the university's graduates from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
