Happy Builder's Day!

Happy Builder's Day!

August 9 marks the professional holiday for all workers in the construction industry—Builder's Day!

We extend our congratulations to the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of KISI-KSUAE, as well as to colleagues, friends, and everyone whose professional career and life are linked to construction. We wish you good health, creative success in your work, happiness, and prosperity!

This holiday was first celebrated in the USSR on August 12, 1956. On September 6, 1955, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree establishing the annual "Builder's Day" holiday. The construction profession is noble and honorable. A builder is a creator—someone who brings new and beautiful things into existence. The work of builders turns designs for residential homes, public buildings, industrial facilities, and structures of varying complexity into reality, making our cities and villages well-developed and comfortable places to live.

Happy Builder's Day!

Rector R.K. Nizamov

The Institute of Architecture and Design awarded diplomas to graduates

The Institute of Architecture and Design held a graduation ceremony. Bachelors and masters degree holders—future architects, designers, restorers, and urban planners—received their diplomas. For the graduates, this day symbolized their transition to a new stage: from students to professionals, ready to transform the space around them. As usual, Rector of KSUAE, R.K. Nizamov, opened the event and welcomed the graduates and guests of the university.

The assembly hall was filled with emotion: pride was visible in the graduates' smiles, and excitement for the future was evident in their eyes. There was applause, warm words, and sincere gratitude to the teachers, who not only imparted knowledge but also helped them unlock their creative potential and learn to think outside the box. The institute's leadership noted the graduates' high level of preparation and wished them a confident future: to maintain their curiosity, boldly pursue even the most ambitious projects, and remember the importance of balancing innovation with respect for tradition.

Many of the graduates have already found their place in the profession: architectural firms, restoration workshops, and design organizations await them. Today, our graduates can be found in firms and companies not only in Kazan, Tatarstan, but also in various regions of Russia and around the world. Others plan to develop their own ideas or continue their education. The university is proud of its graduates and believes that their work will become a noticeable part of the urban environment and cultural landscape.

We sincerely congratulate the graduates! May their professional paths be interesting, and may each project be truly meaningful.

Digital Roads: KSUAE graduates first specialists in the new field

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!
