Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University continues its large-scale modernization of its educational infrastructure. The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics, and Trade has completed the latest stage of the "StroyimNashDom" project to refurbish the academic building at 50 Novorossiyskaya Street.

A total of 3,148 square meters of space on the third and fourth floors of Academic Building 50 have been renovated. Twenty-nine renovated rooms with a total of 786 seats have been created, including 20 classrooms with 696 seats, two computer labs with 40 seats equipped with modern all-in-one computers, and three new teaching laboratories with 50 seats. All rooms are equipped with modern projection technology and 25 televisions with internet access. Student lounges have been created, and a video surveillance system with a feed to the institute's security post and the University Security Center has been installed.

I'd like to point out that, despite the economic conditions facing our country today, we continue to move forward. The project began in the second half of 2017, and step by step, floor by floor, we are systematically renovating the space. This is the result of the institute's team's talent and management, as well as their ability to unite the university's partners and friends. To date, over three thousand square meters have been renovated, and over the years of the project's implementation, a total of 17,500 square meters have been renovated. Behind every square meter stands the work of people who earn and invest in the university's development, as well as the contributions of students who actively participate in the institute's life. IPMEIT has come a long way, and I am confident that you will continue to develop, strengthening your position regardless of external circumstances. I congratulate everyone on this significant event and wish you continued success and achievements," noted SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

The grand opening of the renovated spaces marked a significant milestone in the development of the institute's educational infrastructure. Along with modernized classrooms providing comfortable learning conditions, special attention was paid to the creation of specialized laboratories focused on students' practical training and the development of applied competencies.

The Integrated Trading Systems Management Training Lab has become a modern educational platform aimed at developing professional competencies in trade management, negotiations, marketing strategy development, and the use of digital promotion tools. The space is equipped with specialized equipment provided by industrial partners AEZA Group LLC and Garvex Group. The lab will host practical classes, training sessions, master classes, and business simulations aimed at developing applied skills and preparing students for work in the real economy.

The training laboratory for designing and standardizing hotel products includes three functional zones: "Reception and Accommodation," "Restaurant Service," and "Rooms." This space simulates real-life operating conditions in the hospitality industry. The "Reception and Accommodation" zone utilizes TravelLine and EMIS SERVIS software (partnered by G1 Software), allowing students to master modern hotel management technologies and take a demo exam for the "Receptionist" profession. The "Restaurant Service" zone is equipped with the Saby hotel and restaurant services system, as well as professional equipment for practicing service skills and obtaining the "Waiter" profession. The "Rooms" zone features a full-scale mockup of a hotel room for developing competencies in the technical equipment of guest spaces and testing various quality control tools for operational units and fixed assets.

On Sunday, February 22, the Student City on Lesnaya Street sparkled with bright colors and joy. Extensive Maslenitsa festivities unfolded, organized by the Student Club and the United Student Council of the Dormitories. The celebration immersed students in a whirlwind of folk traditions and exciting yet friendly competitions.

It all began with a Maslenitsa quest, where 14 teams from the dorms competed in strength, agility, and wits. The students dressed up Maslenitsa—an improvised effigy—demonstrated their heroic dexterity, deftly negotiated buffoonish questions, and deftly overcame tricky obstacles. The main competition was "Pancake Maker"—a final culinary and creative duel in which pancakes were transformed into works of art.

The jury, headed by Maxim Pasholikov, Vice-Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security, judged complex pancake-like structures: flowers, huts with wells, military equipment, and Maslenitsa dolls. The winners of these first spring games were the teams from Dormitories No. 4a, 16, and 1.

"It's wonderful to see that Polytechnic students not only study hard but also have genuine fun, creating an atmosphere of warmth and friendship. This holiday unites us all as a large university family. Take care of each other, respect traditions, and remember that you are the ones who create the unique spirit of the university!" Boris Kondin, Head of the Directorate of Cultural Programs and Youth Creativity, addressed the students.

The Polytechnic University's finest creative groups created the atmosphere at the venue: the spirited buffoons from the Student Theater, the fiery vocalists of the "Don't Sleep!" Musical Show, and "Stars of the Polytechnic." The vibrant accordion tunes sent both adults and children into a dance routine. And to earn "pancake tickets" for refreshments, guests stormed the creative stations hosted by PROF, "Black Bears," KVN, Adapters, and the "Don't Sleep!" organizers.

"I learned about Maslenitsa from friends and never would have guessed it was such a big celebration! I had the chance to play, listen to a concert, and chat with friends. It was so much fun, loud, and exciting when they burned the effigy!" shared second-year student Alina Ivanova.

The festivities concluded with the traditional burning of a Maslenitsa effigy in a large, friendly circle dance. According to the organizers, 4,000 pancakes were eaten during the day—thus the Polytechnic students kicked winter into high gear and welcomed spring!

The associate professor presented a detailed presentation of the welding training system at IMMiT, which includes four undergraduate programs and a three-tier structure (bachelor's, master's, and doctoral). The presentation emphasized the feasibility of considering this system as a unified system, as well as the possibility of students obtaining a welding qualification as part of the "Priority 2030" project.

Irina Ivanova highlighted key areas for developing educational activities: employer-focused program design, aligning training with labor market demands, and collaboration with partner organizations. She placed particular emphasis on collaboration with the "Welding" Scientific and Technical Training Center of the National Agency for Welding Control (NAKS), which provides modern equipment and participates in research, as well as with the Belarusian-Russian University, where students undergo internships and advanced training.

"Science-intensive, high-tech manufacturing places high demands on the teaching of technological disciplines," noted Irina Ivanova. "With an eye on the future, we are adapting our welding educational programs to meet the country's modern technological development requirements. One way to improve the efficiency and quality of education is to gradually transition to a welding production specialty while maintaining the positive experience of the two-tier system."

An important aspect of the report was the emphasis on the role of scientific and pedagogical schools as a tool for continuity and the preservation of traditions. A key feature of the training is the active involvement of students in research activities in areas such as advanced welding technologies in extreme conditions, underwater welding and cutting, the development of new materials, and computer modeling of thermal and diffusion processes. Students master these innovative methods in the Laboratory of Lightweight Structural Materials.

A report by IMMiT graduate student Boris Belov (supervised by Irina Ivanova) on computer and physical modeling in arc welding confirmed the integrated approach to solving welding problems. A graduate of IMMiT's bachelor's and master's programs, Boris Belov, who now lives and works in Petrozavodsk, emphasized the importance of digital twins for optimizing technological processes and training personnel skilled in modern modeling tools.

"It's important to ensure a comprehensive approach to solving welding problems—from applied engineering modeling of structures to fundamental research in the field of welding processes," Irina Ivanova concluded.
