STUDENT RESEARCH

Research activity of students is an integral part of training in higher education institution.

Students are actively involved in research projects, scientific conferences, seminars, round tables,. They also publish their research results in scientific journals and proceedings, participate in scientific competitions, Olympiads, undergo scientific training.

Being engaged in research activity, students have opportunity not only to keep abreast of the most current research, but also to make their own contribution to development of a particular branch of science.

One of the most common forms of research activity of students is join scientific or design-engineering circles.

Scientific and design-engineering circles of students are organized within appropriate Departments.

 

Department of Metallurgy and Mining	Students scientific circle of «Geology»
	Students scientific circle of «Geotechnology»
	Students scientific circle of «Metallurgy»
Department of Transport and Technological Machines	Students scientific circle of «Research work of mechanic-researcher»
Department of Building and Study of Building Materials	Students scientific circle of «Design and technology of construction of building structures»
	Students scientific circle of «Study of binders and composite materials»
