UrFU students have access to the entire spectrum of world knowledge at the highest level. For example, this is manifested in such an instrument as the minor. Minors are educational programs specifically designed to give students knowledge and competencies in areas different from the main field of study. An important feature is that when teachers prepare such a minor module, they initially strive to make it interesting and exciting for a wide range of students, and not just for students with specialized training. The opportunity to master minors appears in the 3rd year, and they last one year (autumn and spring semesters). In each semester, a student can choose only one minor and the one who successfully completes the training and passes the test will be issued a certificate

Difficulties that a student may encounter

1. Lack of time and inability to properly distribute it
2. Issuing a large number of different types of work at the end of the semester for a short period of time
3. You have to learn a lot on your own, a large amount of homework
4. Insufficient level of school knowledge base for mastering new, more complex subjects

Extracurricular life of a URFU student

The Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics HSE in the field of “Design and Technology of Electronic Devices” is told by the head of this field, head of the Department of Radio Electronics and Telecommunications at MIEM HSE Leonid Kechiev.

Leonid Nikolaevich, your department trains bachelors and masters. What is the qualitative difference in the training of these specialists? Can only masters be considered engineers, or can bachelors also be considered one of them?

A bachelor is, of course, not the highest caste of blue-collar professions; it is the lowest caste of the engineering profession. Let me give you an example from the field of mechanics. A specialist develops a device, he creates, comes up with something, carries out calculations, and embodies all this in a drawing. Then he gives the calculations and drawing to the bachelor so that he can do the detailing. Why is such a division necessary? Carrying out detailing is a purely technical, uncreative job, but it also cannot be done by just anyone; it requires certain knowledge, the ability to calculate tolerances, fits, and roughness. Both the master and the bachelor have this knowledge, but since there is no creativity in the process of detailing, it is enough to entrust this work to the bachelor, while the master will work on new developments at this time.

The main motivation for enrolling in a master's program is to continue to develop and reach the appropriate level in the industrial and scientific hierarchy. For some, this is an opportunity to continue their studies in graduate school, and for others, it is then to go into production, to a creative and, possibly, management position. While studying for a master's degree, students are already working at an enterprise, they are attached to a specific topic, they see the results of their work and are better aware of their career and material prospects. They are also assessed better by employers who understand that not every bachelor will become a talented developer or administrator. The prospects of a master with greater knowledge and extensive experience in production are easier to assess.

- Where and with whom do masters go to work after completing their studies in the field you lead?

The direction “Design and technology of electronic means” is one of the most in demand in modern production. Everything that is now done at enterprises is done by the hands of designers and technologists, specialists whom, as the name of our direction suggests, we train. The designer develops documentation and the device itself, carries out its tests, measurements, etc., and the technologist develops the entire technological process, that is, everything related to the actual release of the equipment to the market. The demand for specialists in this profile is enormous; there are now not enough of them in enterprises everywhere.

The fact is that over the past 20 years, when nothing was developed at enterprises, there was no demand for such specialists, so designers and technologists fled, and a whole generation of these specialists was lost. During this time, there was a radical change in technologies and design methods, resources for modernization appeared, and now enterprises desperately needed our specialists, designers and technologists. Technologically, we (as a country) are far behind, so equipment at enterprises is now purchased from abroad, but the developments on it should already be ours. Modern production workers need to master this equipment, and master it enough to be able - in accordance with world trends - to modernize it every two to four years. Enterprises cannot afford to buy millions of dollars worth of new equipment all the time; they are forced to modernize existing machines and equipment, modernize them and need the masters they are currently graduating.

This year, MIEM will have the fourth graduation from this master’s program. Two masters from the first graduating class are currently preparing to defend their candidate dissertations.

How competitive are the masters you prepare compared to experienced “old school” engineers?

Judge for yourself, in recent years the design system has changed dramatically, and given that the system of advanced training has completely collapsed, those specialists who have been working at enterprises for a long time simply cannot master new systems. Today production needs new personnel. As an example, one of the successfully operating enterprises can be cited - MOKB MARS, an experimental design bureau from the Roscosmos system, which deals with computers and other electronic equipment for spacecraft. Our master's and graduate students work there, and everyone is delighted with their work. Another example is the Moscow Research Aviation Institute, where our final-year bachelors and masters are currently working. The guys are engaged in very high-tech development of on-board vehicles. The management of the institute changed, the enterprise came to life, new orders and ideas appeared.
