G11 Mechanical Engineering

Specialty G11 Mechanical Engineering is not just about machine tools, it is about creating Intelligent Hardware for the entire world. Today, a mechanical engineer is an Industrial Designer and a Systems Integrator who designs complex mechanisms: from automated food production lines to giant resource extraction complexes. The objects of our students' activity are digital factories, robotic manipulators, and eco-friendly industrial equipment, where every unit is a perfect combination of aesthetics and power.

The goal of training is to transform you into an "architect of industry" capable of designing unique machines for any sector. We will teach you how to master modern CAD systems, manage product lifecycle (PLM), and implement Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies in manufacturing. It is a fusion of classic mechanics with IT solutions. You will learn to create machinery that works smarter, consumes less energy, and scales businesses to a global level.

Your superpower: In a world where software requires a reliable physical shell, you will possess Industrial Vision and Design for Manufacturing—skills for creating systems that are impossible to break. Your professional toolkit will include:

- Digital Factory Simulation: designing and launching entire production facilities in virtual reality before laying the first brick.

- Robotic Cell Integration: setting up the interaction between robots and automated conveyors.

- Smart Maintenance Strategies: implementing systems that self-report when they require service.

- Additive Engineering for Industry: utilizing industrial 3D printing to create parts that cannot be manufactured otherwise.

Our graduates are chief engineers at innovative enterprises, equipment developers for FMCG giants (Nestle, Coca-Cola), agritech architects, and creators of new standards in industrial automation.

Objects of activity for graduates include technological machines and industry-specific equipment; means of mechanization and automation; lifting and transport systems, as well as conceptual design of innovative equipment and management of complex engineering projects.

The training is carried out by:

- the Department of Theory of Aircraft Engines (201);

- the Department of Theoretical Mechanics, Machine Science and Robotic Mechanical Systems (202);

- the Department of Descriptive Geometry and Computer Modeling (406);

- the Department of Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies.
