Technical Institutes train engineers in diverse fields of technology. They provide them with a wide general scientific and general engineering education. Higher technical schools train specialists for various branches of national economy, such as power engineering, mining, construction, mechanical engineering, transport and many others. Higher educational establishments offer different specializations.
The first and second-year students study general engineering subjects. In the third year they begin to study specialized subjects. According to the programme the theoretical study is accompanied by practical training. Students work at the laboratories and in senior years at various industrial enterprises, plants, construction sites, power stations and design offices. The close cooperation of universities with industrial enterprises has become a tradition.
The engineer must combine fundamental knowledge with a high professional level. At every Institute there are many labs with modern equipment, computer centres. Engineers of a new type should know modern production, science and technology. The number of technical institutes, their specialization, the number of professions in which training is given and the forms in which the education is organized are continually adapted to the changing needs of production. Now great attention is paid to training engineers in electronics, applied mathematics, designing of electric instruments and automatic devices, automatic control systems and computer - processing of information. At present Russian technical Institutes train engineers in more than 220 fields.
