Department of Materials Science, Nanotechnology and Engineering Physics

The historical path of formation of the Department of Materials Science, Nanotechnology and Engineering Physics begins with the Department of Metal Science and Heat Treatment of Metals, which was founded in 1968. At the origins of the organization of the department were a number of scientists and production workers led by Academician of the Republic of Kazakhstan - Omarov A.K., the first Kazakh scientist to receive a Doctor of Technical Sciences degree in the field of metallurgy. Academician Omarov A.K. - author of more than 250 works, including 9 monographs, textbooks and teaching aids, 18 inventions, 9 foreign patents. He is the author of the first textbook in Kazakh language on metal technology.

The teaching staff of the department is a highly qualified, professional team of various scientific fields; Most of the teachers have extensive experience working at the university. Scientific and pedagogical activities at the Department of Materials Science, Nanotechnology and Engineering Physics are carried out by teachers. Professor of the Department of Materials Science, Nanotechnology and Engineering Physics Smagulov D.Yu. awarded the title of academician, awarded the gold medal of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for achievements in the development of science in 2022.

Classes are held in the state, Russian and English languages. International students study from Turkmenistan, the Russian Federation and Uzbekistan. Yetish T. and Beisebayeva A. work closely with them.

Currently, the MNIIF department trains bachelors, masters and doctoral students in the following educational programs:

in bachelor's degree:

ЕP 6B07109/6B07207 – “Engineering physics and materials science”

in master's degree:

ЕP 7M07103 – “Materials science and technology of new materials”

ЕP 7M07301 – “Applied and Engineering Physics”

in doctoral studies:

ЕP 8D07103 – “Materials science and technology of new materials”

ЕP 8D05301 – “Applied and engineering physics”

ЕP 8D07114 – “Nanomaterials and nanotechnologies”

Double degree programs

Agreements were signed within the framework of a double-diploma educational program for a master's degree with the following foreign universities:

Tomsk Polytechnic University

1. 7М07103 – Materials science and technology of new materials;

The Bachelor's and Master's degree program for the Department of Materials Science, Nanotechnology and Engineering Physics is accredited by the International ASSIN Agency and documents are being prepared for admission to ABET.

- The Department of Materials Science, Nanotechnology and Engineering Physics was included in the International European Project HORIZON 2020, Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE) H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018, No.823942 - “Development and design of novel multiFUNctional PEO COATings (FUNCOAT)”, according to which master’s and doctoral students have the opportunity to do their scientific work (dissertations) and publications in leading European scientific centers. The project runs until the end of 2024. At the moment, employees and students of the MSaEР department have worked on the project: Kakimov U.K., Eshmanova G.B., Kydyrmolla M., Kemelbekova A., Yetish T.

Professor of the department Azat S. was awarded a gold medal by the Decision of the Council of Rectors and the Academic Council of the NAO KazNITU named after K.I. Satpayev. At the special invitation of the Polish Chemical Society, Seitkhan Azat held an open lecture at the Marie Sklodowska-Curie University on the topic "The current state of carbon research in water treatment in Kazakhstan: the example of Satbayev University". The scientific work of Satbayev University was highly appreciated and aroused considerable interest among scientists. As a result, an agreement was reached on joint research projects and joint execution of doctoral students' scientific work.

Satbayev University and the City University of Hong Kong (City U) entered into an agreement to create an innovative strategic partnership, including in the specialty “Engineering Physics and Materials Science”.

Framework agreements have been developed for the implementation of joint activities aimed at improving the training of specialists in nanotechnology and materials science with branches of the department, with subsequent employment of graduates of the EP. There are agreements with the Physico-Technical Institute LLP, ZHAKEN KALSHA LLP, Engineering Laboratory, Institute of Combustion Problems, Scientific Production and Technical Center "ZHALYN", the purpose of which is to implement joint educational and scientific events, academic and scientific exchange, development joint educational programs and projects, as well as the implementation of internships for students at all levels of education and advanced training for department staff.

For many years, close international cooperation has been carried out with professors Konrad Terpilovsky, Associate Professor of the Department of Chemistry of Interphase Phenomena, Faculty of Chemistry, Marie Curie-Sklodowska University (Lublin), Rashid Amrus professor of the Université Chouaib Doukkali (Morocco), Polisan Andrey Andreevich, Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Education "National Research Technological University "MISiS", (Russia).
