Digital Roads: KSUAE graduates first specialists in the new field

KSUAE celebrated the first graduation of its unique program, "Digital Technologies in Road Construction and Traffic Management." Modern road management speaks the language of numbers, neural networks, and big data.

The first graduates of the program, 23.03.01 "Transport Process Technology," are a new wave of engineers who, from their first year, have been immersed in the real-world challenges of the industry. Their education was built not on dry theory, but on hands-on contact with cutting-edge technologies.

They attended the prestigious TRANS AI 2024 conference in Moscow, where they saw the Evocargo N1 autonomous electric truck (already in service with giants like Wildberries, Marvel Logistics, and Russian Post), visited the train control center, and personally tested a driverless train on the Moscow Central Circle. A frequent guest at the Digital Road Technologies Department is Unified Operator, a potential employer specializing in the development and design of intelligent transportation systems. With its support, graduates received training, providing guidance for professional development and explaining the competencies needed for employment. Trips to the M-12 toll road (stage 8) with K-Telematics allowed students to gain a first-hand understanding of toll collection systems, weight and dimension control, and automated traffic management systems, rather than simply studying them from textbooks.

For the first time, a KSUAE student team entered the top 20 of the WatCTF World Cybersecurity Championship. After all, transportation systems require not only intelligence but also protection. Victories in the N.I. Lobachevsky, annual participation in the Kazan Digital Week forum, and summer internships at Unified Operator, K-Telematics, Novye Geodeticheskie Sistemy, and Avtodor SC prove that these graduates are recognized in the industry.

However, the main test was the successful defense of their final qualification theses. The graduates demonstrated a brilliant mastery of professional terminology and modern software systems, and their engineering solutions were not simply substantiated—they were economically and technologically calculated. On the graduation ceremony day, KSUAE Rector Rashit Nizamov and the leadership of the Institute of Transport Constructions personally congratulated the pioneers of the "Digital Technologies in Road Construction and Traffic Management" program, who opened a new page in the history of KSUAE.

We don't just graduate specialists. We form the backbone of the digital transport and road infrastructure sector in the country. We are proud of each of them and are confident that great horizons await them. The start has been given. The industry eagerly awaits its professionals to collaborate on creating the infrastructure and transport of the future!

KSUAE graduates in the Technosphere Safety  successfully completed the programme

The Department of Chemistry and Environmental Engineering in Construction at KSUAE held the defense of their final theses for undergraduate students majoring in "Technosphere Safety" and "Environmental Engineering." This year, students developed real-world engineering solutions for existing production facilities. These future environmental engineers presented projects aimed at reducing man-made impacts and implementing environmental protection technologies.

Graduates in this program are in demand at industrial and construction companies, where they provide environmental monitoring and oversee compliance with environmental legislation. KSUAE environmental graduates combine fundamental knowledge in chemistry, hydrodynamics, and heat and mass transfer with skills in environmental auditing, environmental law, and digital modeling. These are not just "green" activists, but fully-fledged engineers. The demand for such specialists is growing every year as environmental requirements become more stringent, best available technologies are being implemented, and companies are transitioning to ESG standards. Today, no enterprise can operate without competent environmental engineers.

KSUAE scientists participated at the 3DMIX conference "Additive Technologies in Construction"

The Third International 3DMIX Conference "Additive Technologies in Construction" was held at the National Research University of Civil Engineering (NRU MGSU) in Moscow, bringing together over 200 participants from leading Russian construction universities, research institutes, and engineering companies. The event was organized by NRU MGSU, the Association of Additive Construction Professionals, and the Association of Construction Printer Manufacturers. The conference addressed issues of construction robotics, regulatory and technical support for the industry, practical experience with the use of construction 3D printing for recreational facilities and low-rise construction, and staffing for additive construction production. A key topic of discussion was the development of new state standards in the field of additive technologies.

KSUAE scientists are actively involved in this work, confirming the university's status as a leading research center in this field. Representatives of the Kazan State University of Architecture and Engineering participated in the conference and presented a joint paper on "Studying the Properties of Dispersed-Reinforced Concrete Mixtures and Concrete in 3D Printing Technology." Rustem Khanifovich Mukhametrakhimov, Doctor of Engineering Sciences, Head of the Laboratory of Additive Construction Technologies, and Professor of the Department of Construction Technologies at KSUAE, and Liliya Valiyevna Ziganshina, Candidate of Engineering Sciences and Senior Researcher of the Department of Construction Technologies at KSUAE, participated in the conference. These studies are part of Liliya Valiyevna's broader research work related to the development of concrete mix formulations and the improvement of 3D printing technology.

The work of KSUAE scientists under the supervision of R.Kh. Mukhametrakhimova's requirements have already been reflected in amendments to SP 70.13330.2012 "SNiP 3.03.01-87 Load-bearing and Enclosing Structures" (approved by Order No. 902/pr of the Russian Ministry of Construction dated December 11, 2023). With the introduction of these amendments, the country's regulatory framework defines, for the first time, requirements for the acceptance of concrete and reinforced concrete structures of buildings and structures manufactured using additive manufacturing technology. The university team is currently continuing to develop two more GOST standards regulating the requirements for mixtures for 3D construction printing. Official conference website: https://3dmix.org/
