|
|
FACULTY |
|
The faculty was formed in 1962 after splitting of the Mechanical |
|
|
|
Д |
Faculty |
into two separate ones: the Automobile Transport and the Road- |
making |
MachineryбАfaculties. From 2000 to 2009 it was called Transport |
Technological Machinery faculty, and since 2010 it has had its present name. In 1963 a candidate of technical sciences, associate professor K.A. Artemyev
was elected the first dean of the faculty. |
И |
During 35 years the faculty trained engineers only of one broad background speciality: Hoist transport, Construction, Road-making machinery and equipment. About five thousand qualified mechanical engineers were prepared during that time. But in 1990s and 2000s new specialities were opened:
1)comprehensive mechanization and automation of handling operations;
2)construction machinery and equipment;
3)road-making and utility machinery;
4)hydro-linkage of construction and road-making machinery;
5)machinery and equipment for construction and repair of oil and gas pipelines;
6)service and technical operation of transport and technological machinery;
7)automation of technological operations and production in construction;
8)operation and maintenance of transport and technological machinery.
32
Now students of this faculty are trained in the following qualifications: Hoist-transport, Construction, Road-making Machinery and Equipment, Service of Transport and Technological Machinery and Equipment (petroleum product provision and gas supply), Service of Transport and
Transport-technological Machinery and Equipment (oil-and-gas production). They are given Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and diplomas of engineers. Preparation for Master’s degree is also conducted in Theory, Designing Technological, Hoist-transport and Road-making machinery.
Сunits and parts. They listen to the theoretical courses of lectures, fulfill lab works, and acquire practical experience in the workshops of the institute and in field conditions. Each student should study different types and repair of the machinery.
Students study the types and purposes of the machines, their structure,
иrepairs are only made when occasion arises. The machinery will work properly if when making repairs you replace all locks, lock washers, lock
Each operator should keep in mind that for a long period of use it is wise
Besides,бАeach operator should know how to prepare machinery for use. He should give the machine a detailed inspection to reveal defects, which have to be remedied before the machine is put into operation; then he fills the fuel tank, taking care that no dirt, water or other foreign substances are admitted with the fuel; then he fills the radiator with clear water, or with the proper anti-freeze compound if temperatures below freezing. Mind, that water without any impurities should be used; then he examines the oil level in the crank case, transmission case and final drive gear cases and if necessary
to have any machine in its best possible condition. It is considered that
wires, cotter pins and gaskets with new ones. Thereby a great deal of unnecessary work and trouble will be eliminated.
Since the first days of its existenceДthe faculty has paid great attention to the training of scientific manpower. As far back as autumn of 1947 the
supplies the deficiency.
postgraduate course under the guidance of Professor A. I. Anokhin began to work. Now postgraduate courses are offered practically on all the sub departments of the faculty. Since 1972 defense of dissertations has been
carried out at the academy. |

Successful implementation of scientific research and training students |
|
greatly depend on the level of development of material and technical basis. By the end of 1960s it included a mobile tensometric laboratory, test benches, a research laboratory “Earth canal” for carrying out year-round research of Road-making Machinery and a scientific production ground where different modifications of Road-making Machinery were represented.
33
At present the faculty has 16 study and research laboratories, up-to-date computer classrooms allowing training highly qualified specialists and scientists.
