Еlectronics and Control Systems

On November 22, 2023, at the Department of Solid State Physics and Nonlinear Physics, a meeting was held between the teaching staff and students of the specialty “6B07109 Industrial Electronics and Control Systems” and master’s students in the specialty “7M07125 Electronics and Control Systems” and employers to discuss improving the educational process and learning outcomes and survey results. The teachers put forward proposals to improve the educational process, in particular the introduction of new teaching methods, the introduction of project work and group work, and the involvement of students in ongoing scientific projects. Employers proposed the introduction of highly specialized disciplines to improve the connection between production and the educational process. Students and undergraduates proposed expanding circles, increasing the number of competitions and involving students in the development of scientific projects and startups.

The student-trainee draws up the practice results in a written report, which he defends in the commission at the graduating department during the corresponding period of intermediate certification according to the academic calendar. The assessment of the student's internship results is equated to the theoretical training marks, is taken into account when considering the issue of awarding a scholarship, and when calculating the overall GPA and transferring it to the next year of study and entered in the statement of practice. The general results of the practice summarize at the Academic Councils of the faculties with the participation of representatives of the practice bases. The final grade for pedagogical practice gets rated by a commission, which includes teachers in pedagogy and psychology and the head of training from the graduating department.
