The conference was held
with the support of the National Engineering Academy of the Republic of
Kazakhstan and, from the very beginning, set a professional tone for discussing
the development of engineering science, technical education, and human capital.
A welcoming address was
sent by the President of the Academy, academician and honorary professor of the
university, Bakytzhan Tursynovich Zhumagulov, in which he emphasized that
training engineering personnel remains one of the key tasks for the modernization
