Since 2025, KarIU has been implementing a joint educational program “Energy Supply of Industrial Facilities” with Tyumen Industrial University. Within the framework of this program, the course “Project Activity” has been introduced into the curriculum of the specialty. The course is aimed at studying the methods and principles of project management, including problem analysis, goal setting, planning, implementation, monitoring, and project completion in order to develop an engineering solution. The main objectives of the course are to develop students’ skills in independent and team-based work, foster critical thinking, and enhance their ability to apply theoretical knowledge in practice.
On December 19, 2025, the first project defense of students from group EPO-25 took place. As project topics, students selected relevant and socially significant areas: “Renewable Energy Sources for a Two-Storey Residential Building with an Area of 120 m² in the City of Temirtau (Kazakhstan),” “An Alternative System of Autonomous Energy Supply for a Residential House,” and “Energy-Saving Methods in Metallurgy.” Throughout the semester, students worked in teams, consistently going through all stages of project activity—from problem formulation and goal setting to the development and justification of engineering solutions. During the defense, project presentations were delivered and detailed answers were given to questions posed by the faculty members of the Department of Power Engineering.
The projects implemented by the students are directly aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
•Affordable and Clean Energy — through the development of solutions in the field of renewable and alternative energy sources;
•Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure — by introducing energy-efficient and innovative technologies;
•Sustainable Cities and Communities — through improving the energy efficiency of residential buildings;
Responsible Consumption and Production — by studying and applying energy-saving methods in industry.
The course “Project Activity” and the student projects carried out within its framework are also implemented in line with the principles and values of the Erasmus+ KarIU project, which is aimed at developing practice-oriented education, international academic cooperation, and the implementation of modern European approaches to engineering education. Project-based learning contributes to the formation of professional and transferable competencies that are in demand on the international labor market, as well as to the development of sustainable thinking and responsibility for engineering decisions made by students.
