Fostering Future Engineers: A Seamless Educational Pathway

A collaborative project is underway to create a streamlined educational experience, linking schools, universities, and industry partners. This initiative, spearheaded by Rostec, aims to cultivate the next generation of engineering talent by providing students with practical skills and clear pathways to higher education and employment.

Taganrog Institute’s Visit Highlights Progress

Representatives from the Taganrog Scientific Research Institute of Communications, including Olga Ostapenko, Head of the General director’s apparatus, and Sergey Gulyakov, Head of the Training Center, recently visited the Southern Federal University’s advanced engineering school. Their visit focused on assessing the progress of the “Rostec” engineering classes and engaging with the students involved.

Hands-On Learning: The core of Engineering Classes

Beyond customary classroom learning, these engineering classes emphasize practical training using cutting-edge technologies. This approach allows students to seamlessly transition into the university environment, where they receive thorough support, including scholarships, internship opportunities, and early career prospects.This holistic approach embodies the “School-University-Partner” model, ensuring students are well-prepared for the demands of the modern engineering landscape.

Inside the Labs: Robotics and UAV Progress

The project grants students access to state-of-the-art facilities, such as the Pisch Yuf laboratory. students in grades 8 and 9 are immersed in the world of robotics, designing, building, and programming ground robots, meteorobots, and metallic robots. Tenth-grade students tackle the complexities of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) assembly. Furthermore, participants can enhance their skills through additional educational tracks, including advanced English courses.

The teacher told us about the recruitment in the engineering classes, I really liked the initiative. Write provides everything necessary for creativity. Now we are working on the project of the Robot-Roballer. It must be controlled using an application that transmits signals to the ESP32 board. A marker that will fall will be connected to the robot, rise and, accordingly, draw.

Student Success: From assembly to Flight

the impact of the program is evident in the students’ enthusiasm and achievements. One student, Artym Semenchenko, shared his excitement about building and flying his own drone.

In the project “Engineering Classes” I was attracted by the opportunity to collect drones, I really like this topic. Our drone has a base, screws, various controllers and a fee that distributes power supply. There is also a speaker that serves as a warning system.

When he frist gathered the drone with his own hand and he flew, it was very joyful. What we stubbornly did throughout the year was realized. The emotions are incredible! Of course, I plan to enter the Southern Federal University. You can be calm in the JUF, that you will receive a quality education that will ensure a stable future,

Artym Semenchenko, student

these sentiments underscore the program’s success in fostering a passion for engineering and providing students with the confidence to pursue higher education in the field.

Expanding the Reach: Grant Support and Future Growth

beyond MAOU Lyceum No. 28, Lyceum No. 7 is also participating in the project. the initiative has received a grant from the ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation for 2025, enabling the expansion of “Rostec’s engineering classes” to more educational institutions across multiple regions. This funding will further solidify the program’s impact on STEM education and workforce development.
