Rector of BSTU named after V.G. Shukhov Sergei Glagolev and rector of Sakhalin State University Alexander Samardak discussed areas of cooperation in the field of UAVs, training in the field of construction and architecture, the creation of a joint digital department and cooperation between military training centers of the two universities. The meeting took place during Sergei Glagolev’s working visit to the design and educational intensive “Archipelago 2024”, which takes place on Sakhalin and is dedicated to the use of unmanned aerial systems.
“BSTU team takes an active part in the forum and exchanges experience with other regions. The day before, we discussed the prospects for cooperation in the field of personnel training for the construction industry with the mayor of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk Sergei Nadsadin. We are also open to cooperation with higher educational institutions, especially since we have extensive experience in the field of unmanned aircraft systems,” said Sergei Glagolev.
“We do not deny that at the beginning of the new academic year a joint educational module on drones will appear, which will be useful for our students in construction, engineering and environmental areas of training,” said Alexander Samardak, rector of Sakhalin State University. He emphasized that the Governor of the Sakhalin Region Valery Limarenko pays special attention to the development of unmanned aircraft. Therefore, cooperation between universities is important not only for the university, but also for the region as a whole.
Alexander Samardak also noted that cooperation in the field of UAVs will affect not only the training of higher education specialists, but also secondary vocational education. Both universities have polytechnic colleges.
“Our colleagues have a high-technology college, which has interesting and relevant educational programs. We discussed that for our college we could create a network program in the field of operating unmanned aircraft systems. Some programs will be held remotely, and some in person. The rector is ready to help us with materials and teaching staff,” said the rector of Sakhalin State University.
Also, the rector of Sakhalin State University told Sergei Glagolev about the SakhalinTech campus project, the hydrogen test site, construction of a student boulevard and showed “Boiling Point”.
