An engineer is a highly qualified specialist capable of conducting research and practical activities in the field of science and technology using the methods of mathematics and mechanics to study the behavior of technical objects for various purposes, who knows the laws of mechanical phenomena and related processes of a different nature. The training is aimed at training specialists in the field of mathematical and computer modeling of complex technical objects and systems, the development of special software and mathematical support using modern information technologies (machine learning and neurotechnology, methods of processing big data) and high-level programming languages (C ++, Python ) to control complex technical systems in the interests of general mechanical engineering, aviation and space industries.
Within the framework of this general direction, highly qualified specialists are trained in two profiles — in the field of dynamics, ballistics and control of the movement of aircraft, as well as in the field of dynamics of parts and mechanisms.
Within the framework of the first profile, the problems of spacecraft flight control in near-earth space and the design of space missions to other planets and objects of the solar system, collision avoidance with space debris, solving transport problems of ensuring the functioning of long-term orbital stations, technical bases and settlements on the Moon and planets of the solar system, interpretation of Earth remote sensing data and the development of geoinformation systems for various applications, other urgent tasks of modern cosmonautics. Laboratory and practical work is carried out at the laboratory base, including the Space Flight Control Center, equipped with special software and hardware for the analysis and design of space missions, interpretation of Earth remote sensing data, including those obtained from the existing satellite data reception station.
Within the framework of the second profile, strength engineers are trained — highly qualified specialists whose tasks include checking the structure (parts, assemblies, assemblies, machines, mechanisms, products, devices, equipment, etc.) for strength, stability, fatigue, durability, survivability, etc. resource, dynamic calculations (dynamics, strength of machines, devices and equipment).
In general, graduates of this direction of training become scientists with deep professional knowledge and skills in performing research work, capable of conducting practical activities. They are distinguished by their ability to pose and solve complex scientific and technical problems based on mathematical modeling of control processes and dynamic processes.
