First-year students from the "Heart of the Urals" Advanced Engineering School visited major industrial enterprises in the Ural region three times during the semester (at the end of September, October, and November) as part of their "Fundamentals of Project Activity" course.
Future engineers majoring in "Automobiles and Tractors", "Military Tracked and Wheeled Vehicles", and " Management of Technical Condition of Motor Vehicles and Specialized Equipment" toured the DST-URAL Tractor Plant, the Ural Automobile Plant, and the Kurgan Road Machinery Plant (KZDM). At KZDM, they learned about the full production cycle, the work of the design department, and the acceptance and testing of equipment components. At the Ural Automobile Plant, the students learned about the product line, the main assembly line, and product testing, and also visited the URAL MOTORSPORT motorsports team. At DST-URAL, they observed production stages and tested equipment at the Kalachevo test track.
First-year students majoring in Advanced Engines visited the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (URALTRAC), where they learned about the history of diesel engine production and were introduced to modern technologies. They also visited the Turbina Design Bureau and the Ural Diesel Motor Plant (UDMZ). At UDMZ, they explored the ДМ-185 parts manufacturing shop and key production processes.
Students majoring in Digital Transport Logistics visited OOO Alyans-Avto, the Luch transport company, and the Magnit distribution centre, where they learned about transportation management, the warehouse complex, and traffic management.
Kseniia Sliusarenko, a student in ПИШ-112 group, commented on her experience:
"This experience allows us to connect theory with specific production tasks, developing an understanding of engineering work. Now, every lecture feels different—I can already imagine where and how I will apply this knowledge in practice."
These field trips truly transform learning from an academic process into professional development. Students see not just equipment, but a living industry where their future projects will be realized in metal.
The implementation of the Advanced Engineering Schools project is taking place within the frameworks of the Youth and Children national project.
