Smart City - I-degree studies
First degree studies of general academic profile are conducted in the formula of stationary and non-stationary, last 7 semesters (3.5 years) and end with the defense of the diploma thesis and the diploma exam. Graduating from the first degree program, the graduate obtains the professional title of engineer.
Classes are conducted in the form of lectures, projects, laboratories, exercises, and a diploma seminar. Since the third semester of study, part of the project classes are held in the form of technical trips to engineering facilities (water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, waste management plants).
As part of their studies, students undergo an internship of 160 hours (4th semester of study) in industrial plants, design offices or state and local government institutions.
During their studies, students can participate free of charge in industry-specific courses and trainings (e.g., installation, computer), orgaznized by the Institute of Environmental Engineering and cooperating companies.
A detailed study syllabus is available in the SylabUZ system.
Profile of a graduate
The graduate of the course is prepared to undertake activities within the framework of strategic management of the city's resources and coordination of new projects aimed at improving the functional and spatial condition of the city. The graduate is ready to supervise the implementation of economic plans in the various sectors of the city's functioning and to create new strategies, plans and concepts of development. They know the principles of the functioning and development of the city as a system and the functioning of its component parts and the interrelationships between them, so they can interact with specialists from different sectors.
