The Faculty of Forensic Law and Law in Construction and Transport at St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering held its traditional Olympiad for school students, "Themis of the 21st Century." The event annually brings together students interested in legal professions and forensic science.

Dmitry Ivanov, Dean of the Faculty and Candidate of Law, addressed the participants with a welcoming speech. He emphasized that the Olympiad has become an important university tradition and allows students to become familiar with the professions of lawyers and forensic experts. "We hope that today you will discover many new things and gain a first impression of the legal profession. If you are interested in further exploring our faculty, we look forward to seeing you at the open day on December 6," noted Dmitry Valerievich.

Deputy Dean for Academic Affairs Elena Ivanova, PhD in Law, spoke about the opportunities the university offers applicants. She presented the "Become a Student for a Day" program, which allows applicants to immerse themselves in the university atmosphere, attend classes, and become more familiar with the Jurisprudence program and the specialties of the Faculty of Forensic Science and Law.

Schoolchildren also received informational materials about the university's areas of study, faculties, and educational programs.

Fourth-year student Daria Meleshina reported that young people under 35 can participate in grant competitions offered by the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs by proposing real-world projects with social significance. One of these is "InfoShield," which develops methods to combat online fraud. The Olympiad also focused on this topic. "These days, everyone spends a lot of time online and, unfortunately, encounters online dangers. At all five stations of the Olympiad, we will analyze specific cases of online fraud," Daria explained.

Participants completed interactive stations prepared by faculty students. The tasks included:

Crime scene investigation; internet fraud case analysis; composite sketch; fingerprint analysis; legal mini-quests.

The Olympiad winners received commemorative gifts and diplomas.

After completing the competitions, participants took photos in the mock courtroom, where they could step into the "defendant's cage" and try on a judge's robe.

The Faculty of Forensic Science and Law invites all high school students to an open day on December 6th. Applicants will be able to learn more about admissions policies, educational programs, and student life.

Andrey Maksimov, Sergey Tyotushkin and Andrey Rudskoy

Sergei Tyotushkin, an assistant professor in the Structural Mechanics Department at SPbGASU, has won the 2025 St. Petersburg Government Prize in Science and Education. The competition was held by the Committee on Science and Higher Education as part of the "Knowledge Economy in St. Petersburg" program.

The awards ceremony took place on December 3 at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The event was attended by Andrei Maksimov, Chairman of the Committee on Science and Higher Education, and Andrei Rudskoy, Rector of SPbPU.

Sergey Tyotushkin submitted an English-language textbook on structural mechanics, "Methods of the Oscillation Theory. Problems of Structures' Dynamics: Study Tutorial," co-authored with his supervisor, Nadezhda Ostrovskaya, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Structural Mechanics.

The relevance of this textbook is driven by the increasing number of international students studying at SPbGASU. This textbook is unique to the department and represents a convenient and in-demand tool for teaching construction engineering students in English.

This textbook presents the fundamental methods for studying the vibration equations of dynamic systems and demonstrates their application to structural dynamics problems. Methods for formulating vibration equations are considered, including the Lagrange method, the kinetostatic method, and the finite element method. Solutions are provided for systems with one degree of freedom, as well as with a finite and infinite number of degrees of freedom. Issues of free and forced vibrations, the fundamentals of stochastic analysis, examples of steady-state solutions, and numerical methods for calculating nonlinear problems are covered.

This textbook is intended for international students studying in the fields of Industrial and Civil Engineering and Construction of Unique Buildings and Structures, as well as for master's and postgraduate students in technical specialties.

We congratulate Sergei Tyotushkin and the department staff on this high assessment of their work and wish them continued professional success!
