Mission and strategy of the direction of training "Transport Engineering":

Mission:

To train competitive, qualified specialists with a high level of intellectual, general cultural and professional competence in the field of transport and transport equipment, railway transport, to combine theory with modern practice using advanced educational technologies.

Strategy:

The strategy of development of the direction of training "Transport Engineering" correlates with the vision and development strategy of the Kazakh National Research Technical University named after K.I.Satpayev for 2022-2026.

Improvement of educational and scientific activities in order to improve the quality of training of specialists in the field of operation, repair and maintenance of transport, transport equipment and railway transport.

In 2023, the NAO "KazNITU named after K.I. Satpayev" (Satbayev University) and the Xi'an Railway Vocational Technical Institute (Shaanxi Province, China) began working together to train railway workers. Within the framework of international cooperation, development and implementation of joint bachelor's degree educational programs, including double degree programs, academic mobility and exchange of students, teaching staff and administrative and managerial personnel, academic mobility of scientists, PhD doctoral students, undergraduates, joint work on publishing research results in relevant scientific publications of both states, informing each other about ongoing conferences and symposiums, conducting joint scientific research, An agreement on cooperation in the field of transport and logistics was signed between the Xi'an Railway Vocational Technical Institute (Shaanxi Province, China) and the KazNTU named after K.I. Satpayev (Satbayev University). The agreement was signed on the eve of the visit of the President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to China. During the signing of the agreement, it was noted in their speech that Kazakhstan is a key partner in the implementation of such a project as cargo transportation "Western China – Western Europe".

The material and technical base of the direction of training "Transport Engineering" fully meets the requirements for training personnel in the field of transport, railway transport and transport infrastructure, they correspond to carrying out research works, carrying out large scientific projects on the problems of railway transport, road transport and transport facilities.

The direction "Transport Engineering" of the school of "Transport Engineering and Logistics" trains production-oriented personnel in the field of transport, transport equipment and technology, which, due to their versatility, are in demand and can be employed in any industry and national economy. Most public and private enterprises, such as: JSC "NC "KTZ", JSC "Kedentransservice", "Airastana", "AlurAvto" "AstanaMotors", etc. We are interested in training erudite, literate, specialists in the field of transport, transport equipment and technology who own modern software products.

The production of motor vehicles, their parts, accessories and engines is a new industry of the economy, which occupies a significant share in the total volume of mechanical engineering in Kazakhstan.

The development of the national automotive industry has a multiplicative effect on other sectors of the economy. Thus, one new workplace created in the automotive industry makes it possible to create from 3 to 11 more jobs in such related industries as the metallurgical, chemical and electronic industries, metalworking, spare parts production, transport and services.

The strategy of further development of the automotive industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan is based on the cooperation of domestic companies with world leaders such as General Motors, Hyundai, Kia, Peugeot, Renault-Nissan-Avtovaz, Skoda, Toyota, Iveco. This strategy will allow Kazakhstan to overcome the existing technological gap in the shortest possible time, quickly increase competencies, which in the future will allow it to integrate into the global automotive ecosystem.

Two digital laboratories were opened in the direction of "Transport Engineering": a virtual laboratory for the device of the car "Porshe" and a virtual laboratory for the device of electric vehicles.

These digital laboratories provide scenario modeling using artificial reality technologies. Scenarios are understood as repeated repetitions of certain sequential actions for their conscious improvement. Thus, there is a transition from quantity to quality, which is characterized by the improvement of knowledge, methods of activity, the formation of skills and abilities. The student can interact with 3D objects, look inside the assembled engine, examine all the details up close from all sides, as well as technically maintain and repair the main components of the car. For the convenience of training, the program will be divided into the following sections: Engine diagnostics, THEN KSHM repair,THEN timing repair,THEN cooling system repair, THEN lubrication system repair, THEN Gasoline engine power system repair, THEN Diesel engine power system repair, THEN Clutch repair, THEN Gearbox repair transmission, THEN repair of the gimbal, THEN repair of the differential, THEN repair of the half-axes, THEN repair of the chassis. Package contents: 15 VR glasses, TV panel.

In August 2023, together with the NAO "KazNITU named after K.I. Satpayev" (Satbayev University) and the Xi'an Railway Vocational Technical Institute (Shaanxi Province, China) opened a research center in the field of transport engineering and logistics.

In the direction of "Transport engineering" there is a branch in the SCCP "Multidisciplinary College of Vocational Training" of the Department of Education of the Almaty region S.Chemolgan".

Students annually participate in various events. Students of the educational program 6B07108-"Transport Engineering" Zhandarbek Damir and Simat Ermek took part in the annual Kazakhstan Drift Championship, which was held at the SOKOL race track.

Zhandarbek Damir and Seydaly Nurbolat also participated in the ixth Youth Forum of Transport Workers "KAZLOGISTICS", on the topic – "International logistics and trade: changes and opportunities".
