"Break Point" nationwide forum for students of technical specialities

12 March 2014 127

On March 20-21 in the National University of Science and Technology "MISiS" (Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys) AIESEC will hold the second "Break Point" nationwide forum, where students of generation STEM will be able to acquire skills necessary for successful employment and for determining their direction for professional development.

The idea to provide such a platform is based on labour market's need for professionals in the spheres of "Science", "Technology", "Engineering" and "Mathematics" (STEM), who besides professional knowledge also need skills to enable them to cope with the challenges of management and business.

During the two-day forum, delegates will be able to improve their skills in successful communication, teamwork and the ability to properly present their ideas - all of which cannot be obtained merely by studying at a university. In addition, visitors can find out the requirements of the labour market, as well as meet company representatives and find out their views on their potential employees.

The first day of the forum is divided into three parts: a story of success (Speak Big), the role of students in the development of Russia and participants' assessment of competence. In the first part of the day, delegates will hear success stories from top managers and creators of their own businesses from spheres of industry, innovations, science and technology. The second part is devoted to the views of experts on the role of technical specialists in the development of modern Russia. The third part consists of a simulation game on the participants' understanding of the skills and competences required to work in a team, and of a training course on determining personal competences of participants.

The second day is divided into three parallel sections: for those who come for professional self-determination, for those who want to get work in a technical company and for those who want to realize a project of their own. The Forum will conclude with a joint training for all the participants of the forum in which they will present their vision of the future.

The Organizer of the forum is the international youth non-profit organization AIESEC, which is governed by students and recent graduates. Offices of AIESEC are active in 113 world countries. In Russia, AIESEC operates since 1989 and is represented in 28 cities across the country. Key areas of business include educational programs and international internships.

Background information:
AIESEC is an international youth non-profit organization run by students and recent graduates. Offices of AIESEC are active in 113 world countries. In Russia, AIESEC operates since 1989 and is represented in 28 cities across the country.

AIESEC in Russia by the numbers:
- 29 local offices
- 1300 members
- 100 conferences annually
- 130 partners
- 1600 trainings annually
- 24 years in Russia.

AIESEC was founded in 1948 on the initiative of students from Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Holland, Norway and Sweden. Initially the goal was to develop friendly relations among nations and peoples of the world by means of international exchange.

Currently the mission of the organization lies in discovering and developing leadership potential in young people. Key areas of activity include educational programs and international internships.

After 65 years AIESEC continues to grow, providing young people with opportunities for developing leadership skills, global thinking and tolerance. Notable examples of the organization's success are its successful and well-known graduates, suerch as: Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl, Nikolai Tsekhomsky.

TECHNOLOGY OF PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL RESTORE VALUABLE ELEMENTS FROM PRODUCTION WASTE

Now more and more attention is paid to the process of restoration of nitrogen and phosphorus from industrial and agricultural waste. This is connected with the need to implement the concept of sustainable development of society, based on the circular economy. These elements are biogenic, vital for plant growth. Phosphorus reserves are limited, and the process of obtaining nitrogen is energy-consuming. Potential sources of secondary raw materials are water waste from many industries: the fertilizer industry, pharmaceutical products, semiconductor production and agriculture. The recycling of nitrogen and phosphorus allows not only to reduce the consumption of non-renewable mineral resources, but also to reduce the saturation of natural water bodies with biogenic elements, the excess of which leads to swamping of water bodies and to a decrease in the amount of drinking water. To solve this problem, PNRPU scientists have developed a new approach that has increased the efficiency of extracting ammonium (a form of nitrogen) and phosphate (a form of phosphorus) from industrial waste water to 98-99%. The traditional method does not achieve such results. Moreover, the technology of Perm scientists will make it possible to produce domestically produced long-acting fertilizer based on struvite (a phosphate mineral) and will contribute to the import substitution of foreign analogues.

THE MODEL CREATED BY PNRPU SCIENTISTS WILL PREDICT DEFECTS IN LASER POWDER SURFACING

The method of laser powder surfacing is used to restore worn-out or damaged metal parts. A powerful fiber laser creates a molten weld pool, and then metal powder is automatically fed into it. A common problem that occurs in this process is the deformation of the part, being repaired, under the action of internal stresses. This leads to a defect called warping. One of the aims of developing a technological process for the repair of parts by laser powder surfacing is the prediction of warping defects. The determination of the optimal defect-free surfacing mode for specific parts experimentally is unprofitable due to high financial and time costs and often even impossible. The researchers of the PNRPU together with JSC “UEC-Aviadvigatel” developed a mathematical model for calculating warping during laser powder surfacing to solve this problem. The scientists were able to predict with high accuracy the behavior of the part during the surfacing process thanks to numerical simulations. In the future, the development will help in choosing the optimal set of parameters for repairing parts with the most complicated parts.
