A RUDN University nanoengineering student discusses a six-month internship in China.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Ratibor Vanin, a third-year student at the RUDN University Engineering Academy (Nanoengineering major), spent six months at Northeast Normal University in Changchun, one of China's leading public universities. His internship was filled with both intensive study and immersion in the cultural and scientific life of the eastern country.

Discipline in classes

Classes were held in Chinese, and this became the main difficulty for Ratibor, even though he had studied the language before coming to RUDN and could speak about everyday topics.

Understanding the lecture material required considerable effort. However, gradually, step by step, mastering the terminology, by the end of the semester I could confidently follow the classes. The support of my Chinese and Russian friends, who would drag me out to play ping-pong, was also helpful. By the end of the internship, my level of spoken Chinese had improved significantly. This experience was both a serious challenge for me and a powerful stimulus for developing the language skills so crucial in international science.

Ratibor Vanin

The student also noted that he was struck by the social discipline at the university. During the entire six months, in all the classes he attended, there wasn't a single extraneous conversation, and the Chinese professors were never distracted by anything other than their lectures.

During his internship, Ratibor not only immersed himself in the theory of his specialty, but also learned the basics of laboratory work in biological fields.

Before this, I didn't understand what experiments meant, how they were set up, how many were used, or what equipment was used. But here I was able to observe the process and receive detailed explanations of the theoretical basis of the experiments. Since nanoengineering is a science at the intersection of various specialties, this knowledge will help me collaborate with experts from various fields.

Ratibor Vanin

Immersion in culture

In addition to studying, the internship program included numerous events dedicated to Chinese holidays. As the student notes, there were quite a few—from several Valentine's Day equivalents to the Dragon Boat Festival and Golden Week (the beginning of October, when China celebrates National Day). During the holidays, Ratibor traveled to other cities: he visited Chongqing, Harbin, and Shenyang.

Every city is unique and rich in attractions. Traveling has helped me gain a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. I could write an entire book about the differences between our mentalities and the Chinese. I'll limit myself to people: they are raised differently, speak differently, even walk differently, and pay attention to different things. I also can't help but say that Chinese food isn't for everyone. We have quite different understandings of taste and, most importantly, "delicious." Fifty shades of spiciness are best left untrained.

Ratibor Vanin

And yet, the main thing that students value from an internship is the knowledge and skills they gain.

This experience significantly broadened my professional and personal horizons. I still stay in touch with my classmates and one of the professors and am seriously considering applying to a master's program at a university in Changchun.

The victim's friends are involved in the scam – the scammers have perfected the scheme

How have scammers modernized their scheme to extort money from Russians?

This sophisticated scam, like most others, relies on social engineering, whereby the victim is misled and forced to transfer money to the scammers. The scheme involves several stages:

The scammer contacts the victim, posing as an employee of a bank, law enforcement agency, the State Services portal, investment platforms, etc. The victim is offered the chance to "save money" from theft or increase their capital—the cover story can vary. To implement the plan, the victim must transfer their savings to an acquaintance, friend, or relative—ideally, if the two people have previously conducted banking transactions. The acquaintance will then personally transfer the funds to the scammers, without attracting the attention of the bank's security services.

IN T-bank Reports indicate that the number of cases of fraud using victims' friends has increased by 60%. A complex chain of stolen funds helps fraudsters bypass credit institutions' anti-fraud systems.

What should bank clients do to avoid becoming victims of fraud?

Financial security and literacy are talked about literally everywhere – representatives banksThe media, law enforcement agencies, and independent experts are warning Russians about the risks of fraud. However, no preventative measures have yet produced the desired results—people of all ages, social status, and education are falling for scammers. To avoid becoming a victim, experts urge:

Avoid entering payment information on dubious websites; use a separate card with a minimum balance for online purchases; filter calls using software to immediately see who is calling from an unknown number; do not disclose personal information to third parties or share codes from SMS; if you receive a call "from the bank's security service," contact the organization using the official number or visit a branch in person.

"It's important to monitor the payment transactions of children and elderly relatives—these individuals are at the highest risk. It's advisable to enable transaction notifications on your phone and set acceptable spending limits," the expert recommends.

Cyberpolice urges Russians to critically evaluate offers of high incomes, as scammers often disguise themselves as investment platforms. These scams may involve famous people (actors, athletes, politicians), as well as the victims' relatives.

The Rosneft Research Institute in Tomsk held Russia's first championship for software developers in creating digital twins of oil and gas processing facilities. Participants demonstrated the capabilities of Russian IT solutions for modeling technological processes and training personnel.

During the remote stage, participants were asked to create a digital twin of a section of a compressor station's process flow diagram with a gas treatment unit, based on preset conditions. During the in-person presentation of their projects, a panel of experts evaluated the software's ability to accurately represent the object, including the model's response to various changes in operating modes.

Following the competition, RN-SIMTEP's corporate software was recognized as the best cross-platform* solution. The institute's specialists also piloted one of the products presented at the competition, which demonstrated excellent results in creating a virtual model of a production facility.

During the panel discussion, the championship organizers shared their own digital developments, which are successfully used throughout the production chain. Specifically, specialists at Rosneft's Tomsk Institute use over 80 proprietary programs and databases in their design and survey work. The high quality of their 3D field models, created using ready-made virtual assemblies of engineering structures, regularly wins awards at professional competitions.

Research institute specialists, together with partner universities, also gave guests a tour of additive manufacturing. At Tomsk State University of Civil Engineering, participants were shown the process of creating an urban infrastructure facility using 3D printing, while at Tomsk Polytechnic University, they presented solutions for reengineering components prone to frequent failure.

*Cross-platform is the ability of software to run on different platforms without the need for significant changes to the code.
