Seeing machine building and mechanical engineering as the basis of industrial production in the country, the Department of Machine Building Technologies and Equipment trains the new generation of specialists, who are able to design processes for manufacturing various machines and products using computers and CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM software, to organise production at any machine-building enterprises, to develop and program technology for automated CNC production, as well as to establish and operate machining complexes, machine tools and robots with CNC.

The second focus of the department is mechatronics. Its students explore sophisticated SMART sensors, mechatronic systems, and powerful servomotors. Graduates are able to program, operate and supervise robots and manipulators of complex technical systems at various instrument-making and machine-building enterprises.

Students participate in research under the student design centres and fulfil orders from industrial enterprises. Since 2004, the department has been overseeing the Computer Design and Product Manufacturing Centre, which trains specialists in Autodesk software and promotes such products in the region and beyond.

Along with upbringing engineers and researchers, staff of the department carry out extensive methodological and research work. They are engaged in projects of promising technologies (abrasive processing using grinding material compacted by inertial forces) and equipment (designing mechanical part of the reactor). Their advances in automation of management activities and computer-aided design of technological processes are disseminated among students and introduced at industrial enterprises. Following research, staff of the department have received 82 copyright certificates and 10 patents of the Russian Federation for inventions.
