A plant layout was created, which can be experienced not only in the sea, but even in a pool. Schoolchildren assembled a prototype for the system of creating an artificial current.

The problem of developing the model of wing installation for converting underwater currents into electricity is elaborated by ChuvSU laboratory “Wind and hydro power plants” under the leadership of an Honored worker of science of the Russian Federation, Professor at the Department of applied mathematics, physics and information technologies, A.G. Terentyev. Alexey Grigoryevich in "Sirius" conducted a series of scientific advice for schoolchildren and delivered a lecture "Energy of marine currents and how to use it”.

Universities Are Preparing For Digital Transformation

Tuesday, 30.07.19

ChuvSU photo: ChuvSU team is discussing how to build a new form of education and make it a knowledge-intensive sector of economy

The "Island" for ideas

For a regional University is not easy to compete with the best metropolitan universities. Fortunately, for the artificial intelligence, which selected participants of an educational intensive course "Island 10-22", there is no concept of a "provincial University".

Selection was made basing on a pretty impressive list of parameters, as a result the Chuvash State University ended up to be in "company" with 100 higher education institutions from 72 regions of the country, along with the National Research Nuclear University "MIFI", St. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics, well-known Novosibirsk and Nizhny Novgorod Universities. Among other things it was taken into account how many students study in technical and IT fields, what how active the University is in innovation and if there is any income from research work.

This intensive course task in Skolkovo was to establish teams in Universities which can change students’ training so that their graduates were prepared to work in conditions of rapidly changing technologies. That is why universities’ teams solved managerial tasks, discussed digital transformation of universities, mastered the technologies of large data and immersed into the details of neuro-technologies.

They attended master-classes, performed laboratory works, not forgetting to give time to sporting activities, without which it would be difficult to withstand the loads. In addition, Skoltech artificial intelligence gave each team member a personal development path as well. Therefore, participants had to read additional literature, listen to lectures, according to their individual plans of development.

And, of course, there was a lot of communication, exchange of experience. Our scientists and teachers prepared to absorb the experience in other universities, but there was a surprise for them. For ChuvSU team it was a revelation that information about the developments of the University which were familiar and natural for students and teachers, proved to be eagerly sought for employees of other universities. Thus, interaction with industrial enterprises of the Republic, especially in the engineering cluster, caused genuine interest. And the fact that our university laboratories are equipped with working in industrial equipment, due to which yesterday's students, coming to the enterprises, get included in the workflow — caused admiration and professional envy.

The initiators and organizers of the "Island" were the Ministry of science and higher education, STI Platform, Skolkovo Foundation, the Russian venture company, the Agency for strategic initiatives, the autonomous nonprofit organization "Digital Economy", the National University of technological initiative 2035.

The head of discrete mathematics and informatics department, Daria Troeshestova, was pleasantly surprised that ChuvSU project “Minor Physmath”, which she supervises, has proven to be unique for the country. The words of Academician Valery Kozlov that the road to the Nobel Prize begins from school, were put into practice by our University. Children are taught physics and mathematics beginning with the first class. And that is why graduates of the “Minor Physmath” fairly easy get enrolled not only in the ChuvSU, but in the capital's universities as well.

It would seem that in this situation, you can continue to work quietly, but Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Igor Poverinov, came back from the "Island" in the full conviction that university teaching should be changed. Technologies develop so rapidly that the slightest delay in changes in education will drive the University back. He already has a whole program of things to be done this year. And the main thing it is necessary to move away from the scheme "teacher-student". Now partnership is required, a teacher and student – colleagues. Only one already has some experience, and second only accumulates it.

At the end of this intensive, each team had to develop and protect its project. ChuvSU team chose the design and presentation of digital development programme of the University "The University is a driver to digital energy». It was introduced by its Rector, Andrey Aleksandrov. The result is a positive reviews both from the jury and from the participants. A plus was the consent of several federal universities to engage in joint development of technological and educational products.

In addition, ChuvSU concluded 41 strategic partnership agreements with universities of the country, an agreement on joining the University into the Consortium on the developing the Center of national technological initiatives in the field "Components of Robotics and Mechatronics» with Skoltech and Innopolis University.
