Cooperation agreement between Kostanay Engineering and Economic University named after M. Dulatov and Satbayev University for targeted training of engineering personnel

November 10, 2022, KEnEU

On November 8-10, a delegation of Satbayev University visited Kostanay city, which made visits to SaryarkaAvtoProm LLP and Kostanay Engineering and Economic University named after M. Dulatov.

The delegation included:

  • Shokparov Alibek Zhumabekovich – Vice-Rector for Science and International Cooperation of Satbayev University,
  • Elemesov Kasym Koptleuovich – Director of the Institute of Energy and Mechanical Engineering of Satbayev University,
  • Nugman Erik Zeinelovich – Head of the Department of “Mechanical Engineering” Satbayev University,
  • Isaev Syrdan Adilkhanovich – Technical Director of the International Center for Analysis and Field Development of Satbayev University

The main issue of discussion is to nurture a new generation of industrial engineers for the development of the country’s machine-building industry. For this purpose, a Cooperation Agreement was signed between KEnEU named after M. Dulatov and Satbayev University for targeted training of engineering personnel.

So, Satbayev University, as the oldest and one of the most prestigious technical universities in Kazakhstan, and KEnEU named after M. Dulatov, as a regional university, are defined as basic universities. And SaryarkaAvtoProm, in turn, as the largest machine-building enterprise, will become a platform for the formation of professional skills.

The collaboration between the two universities and industry will ensure not only the development of the engineering industry, but will also give impetus to innovative discoveries and science-intensive production.

The second day was dedicated to show the state of the art of ‘Competence-focused Education’ in cooperation with the corporate sector. All together, it seems to be important to foster the strengths of the Kazakh education system in it’s transition towards the European education framework. It became apparent that Life Long learning is a worldwide challenge which can be met by establishing Dual Education concepts.The participating DIARKAZ partners could take away information on various practise examples related to our goals in the field of Dual Study courses. Certainly, this will promote the progress of both Erasmus+ projects. 

We are very much looking forward to staying connected with KAZDUAL partners for the sake of establishing Dual Education in VET and Higher Education  in Kazakhstan.

Webinar "Process of the dual study program “Production technology and organization”

16.05.2020

On Friday, May 15, Professor H. Hochrinner, professor at the Austrian project partner university of the FH Joanneum, held a three-hour webinar on the methodology for developing a dual educational program and the dual learning process. Professor H. Hohrinner explained in detail the key points of the organization of dual learning from the experience of his university. To date, researchers at KEEU, INEU and WKATU have developed educational programs for industrial automatization and robotics, so the issues of the dual training process and the search for a scheme for cooperation with enterprises are relevant for Kazakhstani universities. The experience of Austrian colleagues as one of the leaders of dual education along with German universities is very useful for Kazakhstani partners, but not the whole methodology is applicable in the realities of Kazakhstan. Therefore, the project teams of three Kazakhstani universities have a lot of work to do in search of their own path to the development of dual education in the Republic.

Kick off meeting

06.02.2020

On February 4-5, 2020, on the basis of KEEU, the kick off meeting of the Erasmus + project “Dual education for industrial automation and robotics in Kazakhstan / DIARKAZ” was held. On February 6, 2020 Tasbulatova S., Director of the National Office Erasmus + in Kazakhstan, conducted preventive monitoring of the project.

The dual system is a special form of training skilled workers on the basis of close interaction between enterprises and educational institutions. The basis of training in the dual education system is the combination of theoretical training on the basis of professional educational organizations and the acquisition of practical skills directly at the enterprise.

The entire project consortium took part in the work: representatives of the University of Novi Sad (Serbia, project grant holder), FH Joanneum Gesellschaft M.B.H. (Austria), Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg (Germany), Kostanay Engineering and Economics named after M. Dulatov (country project coordinator), Innovative University of Eurasia, West Kazakhstan Agrarian and Technical University named after Zhangir Khan, SaryarkaAvtoProm LLP, Festo AG & CO Group of Companies and National Office Erasmus + in Kazakhstan.

The goal of this project is to fill the existing gap in this area, through cooperation with companies and other interested parties, to develop a sustainable dual-training program with international orientation in Kazakhstan (the program will be based on cooperation with institutions from countries where the programs are implemented) and become a leader in industrial automation and robotics in the Central Asian region.

The project will provide the basis for the modernization of the human and infrastructural potential necessary to achieve these goals through the training of teachers, the purchase of educational equipment and software, cooperation between universities, as well as cooperation with non-academic and associate partners and the transfer of knowledge and experience. Sustainability of project results will ensure continued impact at national and regional levels.

Based on the results of past events, the stages and terms of the project, the area of responsibility of each partner, and the expected results are clearly defined. The consortium has actively started implementing the DIARKAZ project.
