Changes are coming at the Faculty of Transportation Process Management: graduates of specialty 190401 "Operation of Railways", being general professionals, will stock up on an individual set of industry-specific knowledge.

From September 1, 2014, new specializations will appear in the specialty “Operation of Railways”: “Line-line transport”, “Industrial transport”, “Freight and commercial work”, “Passenger complex of railway transport”, “Transport business and logistics” . The first four will be characterized by full-time and part-time forms of study, while the last four will offer only full-time study. It should be noted that Roszheldor approved budget places in three specializations: “Long-Range Transport”, “Freight and Commercial Work”, “Passenger Railway Transport Complex”

The head of the Department of “Stations, Units and Freight Work” of the USGUPS, S. A. Plakhotic, spoke about the new specializations.

– Are there differences in training in different specializations?

– Applicants enter the specialty, and the division into specializations occurs after the 3rd year. Students study the general disciplines required by all railway engineers, and then determine for themselves the industry in which they would like to work. As for the target students, the organizations sending them should target the guys in advance for one or another specialization.

All graduates of the specialty “Operation of Railways” are awarded the qualification “Specialist in Operation of Railways”. Specialization is reflected only in the annex to the diploma, which contains a list of certain disciplines.

– What will be included in the scope of activity of a graduate of each specialization?

– Curriculums for specializations consist of three blocks. The first two differ slightly. Thus, each of them has one highly specialized discipline: outsourcing (contractual involvement of third-party organizations) and information technology in the industry chosen by the student. The third block is professional, and therefore each specialization has its own list of disciplines.

Graduates of the "Long-Range Transport" specialization are in charge of organizing freight and passenger transportation, interaction with industrial transport, railway design. stations and hubs, organization of work of forwarding companies, transportation and tariffs in international communications.

Engineers specializing in "Industrial Transport" are responsible for organizing transportation on industrial transport, designing industrial railways. transport, operation and repair of technical equipment, resolving issues regarding the functioning of transport of industrial enterprises.

Specialists in the industry "Cargo and commercial work" are responsible for technical and technological support and design of multimodal transportation, commercial, legal and information support for freight transportation.

Graduates of the specialization "Passenger complex of railway transport" can be engaged in designing the infrastructure of the passenger complex, managing passenger companies; Their competence also includes the operation and repair of passenger cars, operating technology and operation of station complexes.

The scope of activities of logistics graduates includes project management in transport business and logistics, information support for transport business, business planning in transport, and supply chain management.

– Where will graduates of each specialization work?

– All graduates of the specialty “Operation of Railways” have equivalent diplomas, so there is no strict professional distribution.

Mainline transport specialists can work as dispatchers at different levels, station attendants, operators, etc.

Graduates of the "Industrial Transport" specialization can become managers of transport departments at industrial enterprises with railways. non-public routes, as well as by managers on industrial railways. transport.

Freight and commercial work specialists collaborate with shippers and consignees; they are the ones who “make money” for the rest of the railroad workers.

Graduates of the "Passenger Transport" specialization can work in the directorates for servicing passengers and stations, in suburban companies, and in the federal passenger company.

The most mobile graduates of the specialty are logisticians. They can be found in various forwarding and transport companies.

So, if you are attracted by the romance of the roads and want to find the right path not only for yourself, but also for others, welcome to the friendly family of railway workers!

The word engineering comes from the Latin word ingenium - skill, ingenuity. Thus, the art of engineering is an activity aimed at the process of inventing new technologies. At the same time, as you understand, engineering technologies supply many industries with their ideas, from construction and mechanical engineering to chemistry, pharmacology and medicine.

But which engineers will be most in demand by humanity in the near future?

The other day, the American digital media resource Mashable asked this question and came up with a list of four engineering professions that will be most in demand in the future.

It is estimated that in five years, by 2020, the Millennial generation, that is, people born between 1980 and 1990, will occupy 50% of the jobs on the planet. This means that it is they who will determine our future.

So, it is assumed that the most popular engineering profession will be any activity related to computer technology. And this is not surprising, because today such processes are still in their infancy. This industry is controlled by monopolists such as Google, Apple and Microsoft, which, in fact, are the only ones producing computer products for mass use, imposing them on humanity, and also forcing them to play by the rules beneficial to mega-corporations.

Meanwhile, history has repeatedly demonstrated that any activity that allows only the existence of several monopolists is doomed to failure, which means, no matter how you look at it, humanity will strive to make these technologies publicly available. It is believed that in this area, a person’s career opportunities are limited only by his talents and abilities, which means, in fact, they are limitless. More and more companies are using computer developments and virtual reality in their activities in order to reduce production costs and attract the attention of a younger audience.

Mechanical engineering

The creation of various mechanisms that help people in production and everyday life has acquired particular relevance in the last 70-80 years. Every day we read about the release of super-smart cars, drones, spacecraft and underwater systems.

Man already wants to completely master not only his own planet, but also the nearest space. He needs completely new technology, convenient, ergonomic, cheap and environmentally friendly. This means that society’s demand for such engineers will only grow. Most likely, in the near future, humanity will begin to create fundamentally new mechanisms that can replace the outdated internal combustion engine and machines that use fossil fuels.

Medicine and healthcare

For a long time now, medicine and healthcare have merged with engineering, using its developments in the production of implants, medications, therapeutic techniques and medical equipment.

And this means that engineers working in this area will be in great demand. After all, a person wants to live forever, and live healthy. Biomedicine will be the main healthcare sector of the future, developing bionics and nanomedicine technologies. In this area, engineers will occupy a special, perhaps even dominant position.

Construction and architecture

This area will never become obsolete, because people always need housing. Construction and architectural technologies are a constantly evolving art, which means any professions related to them will be in demand.

Current trends in this area are the use of clean energy, energy efficiency, space saving, “smartness” of buildings and their versatility. Today, architects and civil engineers need to work closely with computer engineers and bioengineers, chemists and physicists who are able to realize the needs of modern society. This is an interesting, dynamic and diverse job that will appeal to the Millennial generation.
