Faculty оf Mechanical Engineering
General information
Mechanical engineers are specialists who have an array of knowledge enabling them to freely navigate in a variety of modern machines, equipment and technologies used in the oil and gas sector. They learn the methods of calculation and equipment design as well as advanced computer software systems. Mechanical engineers are engaged in design and operation of oil and gas equipment, certification of products and technologies, life safety in oil and gas facilities, and risk management in production.
Career opportunities
Graduates from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering are the designers of the most advanced equipment and technology for the oil and gas industry. They are in demand in the fuel and energy sector in Russia and worldwide.
University graduates with mechanical engineering background are invited by design bureaus, different laboratories at research institutes, plant units, oil and gas fields in various industrial and financial companies, large cities and in the High North, on land and sea.
Areas of study and main disciplines
The Faculty provides training in 4 Bachelor's and 3 Master’s degree programs. General engineering training is based on such disciplines as theoretical mechanics, resistance of materials, material science, machinery parts, metrology and others. Professional training is conducted at key departments of the Faculty in accordance with the Bachelor's and Master's degree curriculum. The knowledge gained allows students to be guided freely in a variety of modern machines and equipment used in oil and gas industry and in other fuel and energy complex sectors, design and manufacturing technologies, including those with advanced computer software applications.
Projects, initiatives, events
The Faculty has established the training ground with oil and gas equipment which is located on the territory of the University. The training ground enables to solve many practical issues in training of specialists at different levels. A major role in training undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students is played by the Interdepartmental Center for Research of New Materials for Fuel and Energy Complex Facilities equipped with modern equipment within the framework of the University development program as a national research institution.
Facts from history
The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering as a separate structural unit dates back to September 1, 1943, when the Faculty of Petroleum Engineering was established at Gubkin Moscow Oil Institute. The first areas of study at the Faculty included Oil-refining equipment and facilities, Oilfield machines and mechanisms, Technology of oil engineering.
